Cognizant GenC preparation

Cognizant hires freshers as GenC, GenC Next and GenC Elevate. The process has a communication test, an aptitude test (numerical, logical, verbal) and a technical round based on your chosen cluster.

Test pattern

Section	Questions	Time
Numerical Ability	25	35 min
Logical Reasoning	35	45 min
Verbal Ability	20	20 min

The technical round focuses on coding and SQL (and Java or Python depending on the cluster).

Tips

Logical reasoning is the longest section; practise seating, syllogisms and series.
Revise basic SQL queries for the technical round.
