Its 10th August 2011, 10 days before the actual campus drive, when we got informed that Cognizant is going to visit our college on 20th(The very first campus of m y life). I started off my preparations with mixed feelings (as i really wanted to get into it).
On the D-day, we had a written test which comprised of -aptitude,verbal,reasoning questions(the difficulty level was easy to moderate),a 1hr test, the results of which were declared on the same day at night(I got thru!! :))
