I gave an interview in CTS at as a part of the campus recruitment drive conducted in my college (Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology, Greater Noida), cleared all the rounds and was later selected in CTS. All my friends who got selected have already received their offer letters but I haven't.
I am completely clueless about what will happen right and hope to get this resolved soon.

I gave my interview at cts and got a confirmation call that i was selected, proceeding with an email to upload the my documents along with the cis form. I submitted the completed cis form along with the requested documents of education, experience and government id proofs on 01 nov 2018 and have not received any update yet.

I attended the interview at cognizant pune location on 6th october. All the rounds and hr discussion was cleared by me and the package discussion was done. They told me that i will be getting the offer letter within a couple of weeks
However, its been more than a month now and i havent received a single email from them regarding anything.
I contacted the hr a few times via email but no response was given.

Pathetic from the side of such a huge mnc. A huge disappointment from a company i was looking forward to work with.
