2,759 programmer trainee interview questions shared by candidates

In the technical round the interviewer asked me about my favourite subjects and questioned me on those subjects. I chose C and DBMS. He asked me to write a program to swap two numbers, to check if a string is palindrome, to print all odd numbers from 1 to 500, to sort a few numbers using insertion sort. From DBMS he asked me about primary key, foreign key, candidate key. Also, he asked me to introduce myself. The HR round was pretty chilled out. He asked me to introduce myself and why I wanted to join CTS.

I did the written test well and was shortlisted for the next process. Technical Interview went like this The first question was "Tell me about yourself" Since I was from ece background the questions related to my subjects were asked like what is an ic? what are the advantages of an it? what are flip flops, counters,registers? What are different types of communication? How do u convert an analog signal to digital?...... and many concepts... I mentioned the projects in my resume which i had done. The tr asked me to explain the projects. I explained two of them.Then he asked me few questions related to the projects. He asked me what was my major project.I explained him the major project. Sir asked me to write the c code for reversing a number and fibonaccii series using recursion. After asking too many questions sir said "I am done.Do u have any questions?" I asked few questions and the tr was over I was made to wait for few minutes and then they called me for HR Interview. what happened is that my hr was also completely techical. Sir asked me to write a c code to get the output: u tt ejr eddy pakan ti3333 I wrote the code and i explained the code.sir was impressed. HR asked me what i know about Cognizant.I answered. I was selected. Finally I suggest you to be confident. INDIABIX is enough for aptitude,logical reasoning and verbal. If you clear Tr then there is 90% chances of getting selected. ALL THE BEST
