Cognizant interview practice: 1 mock round across 1 role.

A 20-minute Cognizant GenC technical interview at India fresher altitude. Karthik Kumar, a 9-year Cognizant Senior Software Engineer who himself joined through GenC, runs the round. He probes OOP fundamentals with your own example, DBMS basics (joins, normalization, primary versus unique key), a single DSA on arrays or strings, and a deep dive into your final-year project — defending the technology choice. Closes with one HR motivation probe. You walk away with a transcript-backed scorecard naming the exact moment you spiralled or impressed.
