Name:- Pranjul Singh

Department:- B.Tech/IT

College:- PSIT

I got placed in Cognizant as an Intern through the GenC Elevate drive.It was an On Campus drive.

I want to thank PrepInsta for helping me through the process.

There were two rounds:-

1. Conceptual/Code Analysis and Case Study
2. Interview

Round 1:-

This was an online assessment.

There were questions related to:-

• DSA
• DBMS
• trees
• database
• programming construct
• SQL
• Web and UI

The difficulty of the round overall was easy to moderate.

In case study round there were questions from Competitive Coding, DSA and SQL.

After I had cleared this round, I was shortlisted for the Interview.

Round 2:-

There was only one interview round of around 30 minutes. The technical face-to-face interview round is the most crucial in the entire process.

I would recommend anyone who is appearing for it to go through CS fundamentals such as OOPS, DBMS, CN, OS etc.

Some of the Technical Questions asked to me were:-

1. List out the differences between Generalization and Specialization in DBMS.
2. What exactly is index hunting and how does it aid query performance?
3. What is the fill factor in SQL? What is its default value?
4. How does Dynamic Loading help in better memory space utilization?
5. How will you print the address of a variable without using a pointer?

The interviewer also asked certain HR Questions, including:-

1. Introduce Yourself.
2. Why Cognizant?
3. Are you interested in an internship or learning program?
4. Do you have any questions?
5. Document verification.

For anyone interested in GenC Elevate, I would recommend to know about the recent technological developments. An awareness of contemporary technology trends, such as artificial intelligence(AI), big data, and so on.
