Cognizant shortlisted my name by looking through my AMCAT scorecard, an exam which my college conducted in February 2013. In October of that year, I got a mail from both AMCAT and Cognizant that I have been shortlisted for Technical and HR interviews and I have to report on the specified date. So I went to Cognizant GTP office in Bantala, Kolkata. There I saw many people who came for the interview. After conducting initial verifications I was called for my technical interview. The interviewer asked me questions about my final year project in college, the industrial visit conducted by my college and my industrial training. As I was from a non-IT background, I told him that I have a very limited knowledge of C and no other language. So he skipped asking any question related to programming. I told him that I know MS Excel and Word. So I told him about that. After this interview I was called for HR interview. There the interviewer asked about my hobbies and my personality and I was done for the day. After 3 days I got mail that I have been selected for the job.

Smooth interview process as well as it was very interesting with ample feedback at the end. I enjoyed the conversation a lot and coverted the interview and accepted the offer.
