Cogitate Technology Solutions Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with an Online Assessment that had 3 sections, each with 15 MCQs. This was followed by an HR Round where basic HR questions were asked. Then came Technical Round 1 (TR1), which covered basic topics like DBMS, OOPS, SQL queries, data structures, and project discussions, along with two coding questions: 'pair sum' or 'two sum', and a basic array question. Finally, Technical Round 2 (TR2) involved questions about the project, JavaScript concepts like closures, and two coding questions: sorting an array and removing duplicates from an array.

So there were like 3 rounds in total, and before that, there was an AON test which included a psychometric test, aptitude, coding, English, and computer fundamentals. It also had 3 coding questions, easy and medium. Then the 3 rounds were: 1st Technical Interview, 2nd Technical Interview, and finally the HR interview.

So it was an on-campus hiring process. First, candidates who met the criteria (overall 60%) got a link for an Aptitude + Coding test. The aptitude section was easy to moderate, with some English questions too. There were 3 coding questions: the first was super easy, just a single line of code. The second was like a GFG Easy problem. The third was a Leetcode Medium, specifically adding two numbers in a linked list. Out of 150 students who took the test, only 11 got shortlisted for the interviews.

So, the process started with a skype HR Interview. It was basically a Q&A session about my strengths, weaknesses, future aspirations, and immediate availability. About a week later, I had another skype interview, this time for the Technical Round. They asked me about OOPS concepts and some basic programming questions. Unfortunately, I never heard back after that – they totally ghosted me. It's also worth noting that they use third-party HR solutions companies to reach out to candidates.
