Questions were basically from R.S Agarwal.

1.There were two questions on cistern:
Like a cistern has three pipes A,B,C...A and B fill the cistern at their particular rates(4 l/hr and 5 l/hr....not exact values),C can empty the cistern at some rate.
If the capacity of cistern be 700 litres and say A is opened for a minute then B for a minute ,and then C is opened for a minute, now this cycle is repeated, until the empty cistern fills up,so in what time will the cistern overflow ?
Second one i cannot recollect.
2. A question on probability.
3. A question on work done by people.
4. A question on time and distance.

HR QUESTIONS


1)      Tell me about yourself.
                Don’t talk much about your family. Talk about things in which you are much interested in. Try to talk things relating to your resume.
2)      Will you work wherever your work area is? Will your family and partner accept it? If not?
                When you are asked about your willingness to travel during an interview, be honest.
There's no point in saying "yes" if you would prefer to be home five nights a week.
                It is perfectly acceptable to ask how much travel is involved. That way, you can weigh how much you would need to be on the road and make an educated decision as to whether the amount of travel required fits in with your lifestyle.
                What's most important is to get a good understanding of what's involved before you are offered the job, rather than being (unpleasantly) surprised after you have already been hired.
3)      Do you have any questions for me?
                Project yourself as if you are much interested in knowing about the organization. Try not to say “no questions sir” in response to this question.
Eg :
                1) When can I get my appointment order sir?
                2) What will be my designation in “OUR” company sir?
4)      Are you flexible in getting adapted to new technologies?
                Yes, I have a passion towards keeping myself updated to current technologies and getting to know many things, so I feel I am much flexible enough to get adapted to new technologies.
5)      Tell me about your background.
6)      Tell me about Time Management from your side.
                Talk about various activities that you have taken part in parallel to your studies.
7)      Tell me about your family
8)      Tell me about your extra-curricular activities
9)      If we assign you in a team having technology that you don’t know, how will you tackle it (or) if we change to other location, how will you adapt to it?
                I am flexible enough and open-minded to learn new things and technologies
10)   How will you improve your communication if we give you job here?
                Will communicate with colleagues, with friends and my circle in English and will read newspaper regularly
11)   For what do you want job from Cognizant?
                A typical interview question, asked to ensure that you are seriously interested in the job and the company, and to find out how much you know about the company, is "Why do you want to work here?"
                The best way to answer this question is, first of all, to be prepared and knowledgeable about the company. Spend some time researching the company (the About Us section of the web site is a good place to start) so you can talk about the benefits of working for this employer.
                Compare your goals with objectives of the company and the position, then reiterate why you would be an asset to the employer. Let the interviewer know what you can do for the company, if you get a job offer.
                Even though the question is about why you want to work here, you still need to convince the interviewer that hiring you will benefit the company.
12)   Do you want any particular domain or technology to work?
                I can adapt to any domain, according to that I will train myself.
13)   Are social networking sites boon or bane? What if our company is about to develop a community for all our company employees in face book? Is it good or bad?
                Answer positively.
What are your strengths? Any real time incidents replicating your strength?

  • I found written quite a piece of cake . there were 3 sections
1. English: having active-passive voice questions, similar meaning questions ,a question on phrase.like watt's ’steaing a march ’ means .,one passage was given and based on which we had to answer few questions then few questions on correcting punctuations , few on jumble words tat was pretty much it .

2. Aptitude: there were questions form work-time , ratio proportion , percentage, age,some arrangement like a,b,c,d,e,f sitting in a circle wid some conditions given like c is to the left form a and b is 2 right form d , with this and this being opposite to each other and then which two can’t be together types. sorry i don’t remember the exact situation . like wise few more questions which am not able to recollect.
 3.Technical Round: Questions form course. logic gates , correction few c++ codes, few questions form Operating systems .Networking tat is it ! paper was easy but there was only 1 hr so main thing is time management i gave some 30 minutes to English section . so i managed my time in math section i left the tricky questions and solved those which were bit easy then i did technical and came back to Math section there was no negative marking so at the end i marked the remaining questions also .
  • Which were something a round 4 or 5 ! After the written we had pre placement talk in which wipro ppl gave presentation and told us bout the package and their bond etc etc in the meanwhile we got our results also out of 175 . 145 cleared written then we had tech round which started with in some 20 minutes.Tech round was easy for me the interviewer din ask me almost nothing .
