Please find the answers to your general queries before joining:-
1) Designation
Cognizant Technology Solutions India Private Limited (“Cognizant”) will offer you the role of Programmer Analyst Trainee for Fresher.
2) After Joining, What next?
Every fresher wants to know what does a program analyst trainee do at Cognizant?
You will be allocated different Domains and provide you good training in them.You’ll be well trained over the technology and you’ll eventually learn them irrespective of what you learnt before joining. Training is the best part in Cognizant where you can enjoy the training period.
3) Option to choose domain?
No, You will not be given options to choose domain of yours
However, there are options to change your domains after 1 yr ( Terms & conditions Apply)
4) I have recieved my joining on ## date...what will happen on that day?
First day will be orientation, and on the first day itself you will know your domain, training location.
From the next day, you will report to your respective training. You will again sit in class just like college and the class size varies from 20-34 people. In the first training day, BO (batch owner) will tell about what you will do for the next few months.
This Class room training is for 3 to 5 months ( depending on Domain).Mostly all trainees get confirmed after one year and will be made programmer analyst.

Training at cognizant is divided into 2 categories
Academy
Here you will get trained on your respective domains by the trainer and exit tests will be taken
Office Work

6) Exit Tests
These are the test where you can have a maximum of three attempts and should have cutoff of 70 percent or above. As same as semesters you’ve did in your college, this would be a same classroom sitting system where they train you and test you. Mostly the question pattern would be as 30 Multiple Choice Questions (30 Marks) and 6 Programs (70 Marks).
