SELECTION PROCESS CRITERIA:

Ur selection would be divided into three rounds.

This test completely concentrated on aptitude

2. Technical interview

This interview will be on C, C++ and your other curriculum basics. This round will be completely oral.

3. Personal Interview

This interview will be purely regarding your general & educational issues.

MY ROLE AND ASSISTANCE:

Before clearly informing you about me assistance I would clearly inform you that for all this process and all you need to pay me. I have mentioned all the payment below.

MY ASSISTANCE :

1. I will be forwarding your resume to company people and also see that you have been shortlisted for selection-process. This will be clearly evident to you when you will receive your call-letter for selection process.

2. This call for selection-process you will receive it directly from company people and not from me / any third party consultant.

3. Only after receiving call-letter from company people you are required to pay me for which details are mentioned below.

4. After receiving call-letter from company people I will be providing you with papers for your selection-process. I will be providing you with papers required for each and every round.

5. Yes whatever the papers I will be providing that will be enough for your selection-process.

6. Even after providing papers I will assist you in all the rounds of selection process. Let me explain you clearly how am I going to do this. After receiving all the papers you prepare well and when you attend the process you see that you perform minimum of 5.5 ( 55% ) out of 10 ( 100% )in written-test and technical interview rounds. Remaining things will be covered by me with help of my concerned people.

7. By doing all this I will be able to see that you get appointed.

PAYMENT:

Payment comes in two parts both initial and total.

INITIAL PAYMENT:

1. Initial payment will be 4000/- rs .

2. This amount should be paid only after you receive your interview call-letter for attending selection-process. This call-letter you will be receiving directly from company people. You will be receiving your interview call-letter via email and this email you will be receiving from www.cognizant.com itself.

3. As I told earlier I will sending papers for your selection-process only after this payment is being done.

4. As I mentioned above you will be receiving your call-letter directly from company people. This way you will be secured that you will be attending process with company. This will be the security which you can have from me.

Let me clear ur doubt about why to pay initial amount of 4000/- rs.

I mentioned clearly above about my role and my assistance. After receiving your interview call-letter for your selection-process. When you attend the process you need to see that you should perform up to min % required which I mentioned earlier. In any case if you fail to do so then will loose my effort and also loose one position on my behalf. By saying this I do not comment on your potential. This is towards my security.

TOTAL PAYMENT:

1. Total payment will be three times of per month salary.

2. Salary package will be 4lkhs per annum from which Monthly Gross salary will be 33k and after tax deductions from company you will be receiving monthly 29k in your hand.

3. You need to pay me 60, 000 after getting into company.

4. This 60, 000 has to be paid in ten equal installments that 60, 000 / 10 = 6, 000 per installment.

5. Each installment has to be paid from your respective salary which will be as follows.

From your first month salary – first installment of 6, 000

From your second month salary – second installment of 6, 000

From your third month salary – third installment of 6, 000

From your fourth month salary – fourth installment of 6, 000

From your fifth month salary – fifth installment of 6, 000

From you sixth month salary – sixth installment of 6, 000

This way up to ten months

This way you’ll will be having your job security.

Now let me inform that In worst case if there is a failure. Yes I will carry your process towards other companies if there is failure.

First let me inform you failure can be either from your side or from my side.

YOUR SIDE: You have not performed up to min % which is required by me.

In this stage I will process your resume towards other companies for which you need not have to pay me 4000/- rs for each and every company.

FROM MY SIDE : You have performed up to or above min % required and even after that you have not been appointed with company. This will be failure from side.

In this stage I would definitely return the INITIAL AMOUNT which U have paid to me. Also If you feel you can continue with me then I will be processing your resume towards other companies.

Now I hope ur clear with both payments.

TIME CONSTRAINT:

If you are ok with both payments then we should see that process is started 1-2 days. Upon starting process I like to see that you get maximum time for preparation so that we can have better results.

MY PERSONAL DETAILS:

I was an employee with Career Dot Com recruitment firm in Bangalore & Chennai.

Right now I have left that forum because of some personal problems.

As because of my earlier work atmosphere I’m able to handle things with said manner so that I can look upon people getting recruited.

Also I have received your resume from People Technologies Bangalore.

Also I'm having following resume o[censored]r's which I'm attaching with my mail.

Note: Finally if you are ok with my process ( along with payments of both initial and total, process dates ) reply me along with your latest updated resume along with your contact no.

    2. 2nd feb i get a call fron Cognozant HR and they schedule my face to face interview on yth feb 2021
    3. 6th feb 2021 i given my interview interview face to face online through webex.. I had met the requirement for one the post Talend Admin.
    4.On 15th i received a confirmation mail from Cognizant that i have cleared the managerial and technical round .. they have attached a CIS from which i need to fill and submit to HR.
    5. I have submitted on 6th feb 2021 and on 17th feb 2021 i received a call for HR discussion..everything was going as per the schedule expectation. Wven the job location and salary discussion has also done
    6. Then she said you did graduation through BA however i explain each and every thing that i have more technical deegree n diploma as well NIIT, Azure 900 Certification, MCA, Oracle Certification and C++ Certification as wellbut she was only concerned on Graduation.
    7.after sending 2, 3mail on mo day 22nd Feb 2021 she responded with the answer you are not fulfilling Cognizant Candidature Policy
    8.I just want to ask if Cognizant gives preference to qualification over skills.?
    9. I did a mistake to took BA after my 12th which was from science with 70 aggr in PCM.
    10. Hope candidate having good skills but not having B.tech or B.E should not dream to work in cognizant

    Feedback Company should encourage people based on their skill.

        I got placed in Cognizant technology solutions Genc test in my campus placements. I'm from Ramrao Adik Institute Of Technology, Navi Mumbai. I had received selection list on 20 December and their after in got CDS or Internship choosing options from my Placement cell. As my college didn't allow internship due to regular academic lectures we opted CDS, but their after NO one from our college received OFFER LETTER or any confirmation mail from cognizant. We are now thinking wheather we are going to receive offer letter or not.
        Please atleast send us official mail that you got selected. Or give use date, when we will expect offer letter.
        Please have a look because almost 70-80 students are in hope?

                        Very bad experience, I would request you to kindly look into this as provide me the Experience and Relieving Letter at the earliest.
                        My D.O.J was 9th May 2019 and L.W.D on 2 Apr 2020. Please look into this as early as possible and kindly get this resolved.
                        My Clearance is completed and the issue is resolved now .

                                        I had accepted the offer letter for Programmer Trainee back in 2020 and have not received the DOJ till now (January[protected].

                                        Cognizant is cheating all candidates and there is no reply even after mailing them. Give us our DOJ or at least a genuine reason.
