Hi guys! You would be happy to learn that I've been got into Cognizant
Technology Solutions (CTS). I have immense pleasure to share my
interview experience with you.. They divided 102 ppl into 5 Panels. It
begun at 9.30 AM and finished by 1.30 PM and they announce the result by
3 PM. There was a waiting room for each panel where we ppl were asked to
wait before entering into the interview. Our activities were being
captured by video cameras both in the waiting room and during the
interview. As I was aware of those watching eyes, I interact with the
ppl in my panel. It was about 3 hour patient waiting for me and I made
it count by solving doubts of my panel members.
About 12.30 I was called in for the interview. I offered a warm “Good
Noon” greet to my interviewer. Then he asked me to sit down. After
saying “Thank You Sir!”, i Sat comfortably in the chair..
HR: TAMIZHVENDAN, I found a pattern in your marks, its decreasing !!
ME: Yes Sir, It might be decreasing in terms of marks but my learning
curve is increasing exponentially sir!!
HR: But this is not the right answer!!
ME: Yes Sir, First I admit my mistake. I am the first responsibility for
my decline in terms of marks. But at the same time, I am not fully
responsible for it.. There are so many factor is there sir!!
HR: what are they ?
ME: I always represent my answers in short and crisp manner. To an
evaluator, it may not enough to satisfy him/her. But at the same time i
don’t blame them, since they are also human being and they have only
short span to evaluate the answer sheets. So I might failed to impress
them.. But in my perspective I written my last semester same as that of
my first semester. I will redeem myself in the remaining semester..
HR: What you are going to do for it?
ME: I am confident that I will be placed in Cognizant. Then I will feel
comfortable and I have 2 more months in this semester and I will use it
to prepare for the exam and I am confident I will score more than 90% in
the current semester. As far as my next semester is concern, I have only
two papers along with my project. I already got my final year project
idea and I will finish it by the semester vacation. Then I have an
entire semester and only 2 papers. So, Eventually I will come out with
flying colors sir!!!
HR: Ok Tamizh, Tell me about yourself apart from your resume
ME: I am “BORN TO WIN” sir !!.. I am an ambitious person and I would
like achieve a lot. I keep set goals on myself and always move towards
to it. I know myself well and I know how to say NO. I always bring my
curiosity to learn wherever I go and I enjoy myself whatever I do..
HR: Then..
ME: I can I mingle with the people easily. For example I just wait for 2
hours in my panel but I am able to get to two girl friends..
HR: Can I know their names ?
ME: Yes Sir, off course !! They are Sharmila and Pooja..
HR: Ok.. In the extra – curricular activities you put that you were
organized a Training Program called “Thirst -07”. Can I know the reason
for the
name “THIRST-07”
ME: Everyone has the will to succeed but only very few has the will to
prepare for success. We People who has the will to prepare for success
come together and organized this program. We have the thirst to come up
good in our lives. So we named it so. We conducted so many programs like
Mock Interviews, Aptitude classes, Group Discussions and so many useful
stuffs, for the benefit of ourselves.. Also we people who were the part
of thirst-07 are going to organize a similar program called “THIRST-09”
for the benefit of our juniors as a volunteer service…
HR: Well, That’s good!!
ME: Thank You sir!!
HR: What is Your favorite subject ?
ME: Programming in C sir!
HR: Why ??
ME: It’s the first programming language that I learnt sir.. I am
grateful to my Computer Sir of my higher Standards.. Every day he gave
me so many programs to work out and I really enjoyed learning C.. I am
very Comfortable with C and I am also very strong on it..In my first
semester also I secured “97%”.. So I love programming….

Can you tell me about it?

regarding that and I answered well )
HR: Ok , TAMIZHVENDAN, Can we sign a deal

!!” Likewise life is all about taking risks.. I am ready to take any
calculated
risks..

HR: Ok. You Can go now..
ME: Thank you sir.. Have a nice day…
I was really proud of myself since I maintain a good body language and
composure throughout the interview which I missed in my previous
interview in SATYAM.. I answered all the questions confidently. I
stammered while speaking but I answered affirmatively.. That’s what CTS
is looking for.. They will concentrate on the way of answering rather
than whether the answer is right or wrong… CTS also likes confident
People..I was helped by so many people in my life in pursuing my
education and I am proud to dedicate my success to all of them and to my
beloved parents..All the very Best guys…
