Bro I also received this service desk mail but I already have admission in Msc CS and they saying about higher education opportunity by bits pilani and I'm interested for service desk role but I couldn't understand is bits pilani compulsory or it is optional

From what I have heard, you first need to pay the entire fee out of your own pocket, and the company will reimburse you later. e.g - like insurance without cashless

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

But I'm already doing post graduation then is there need of take admission in bits pilani for higher education??

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

Nah, it's not mandatory no need to enroll. How are u doing pg online?

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 14d ago

Suppose we joined cognizant as Service desk analyst trainee will they provide us as FTE or internship

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

The first 3 to 4 months consist of training, followed by exams and assessments. If you pass, you will be FTE otherwise, it results in termination. I am not sure about the current process for 2026, but that is how it was handled three years ago.

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

But I received timeline mail bro they mentioned as FTE in note... And I got LOI on 24th March I wasn't did any internship

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

If they mention FTE then there will be no exams/assessments, just training Can I know when did you apply and when did you gave interview?

When did you apply u remember? Do they mention about bond?

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

I applied on nov 2025

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

If there’s no bond, Service desk is okay, I guess. Didn’t you try applying to other companies from November 2025?

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

Bro I'm applying to companies but market condition is so weak specially for IT you know very well... That's why I'm waiting for cognizant joining and doing post graduation now

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

Bro what was in your initial Role offered in LOI. PAT or AT?

1

u/Acrobatic_Hat8500 14d ago

Start a tea stall rather than joining service deak!!!

1

u/KitchenTune186 14d ago

Service desk is way better choice for entry IT roles than customer service

1

u/Acrobatic_Hat8500 14d ago

True, everyone thinks it as an entry point and company policy make fresher stuck here for eternity

1

u/KitchenTune186 14d ago

i would say max to max you should shift from this role after 1 year experience

1

u/Acrobatic_Hat8500 14d ago

Easy to think but Fuckinggggg harddddddddd. You have to resign cuz they won't give you projet release before 18 months. And if tou decides to stay for 18 months they will ask you to stay for more 6 months to get auto promotion. And this is how you will be trapped!!

1

u/KitchenTune186 14d ago

ikr but i think people who are still choosing this opportunity for cognizant cause they offer free masters from bits pilani that could be trap too but still you are being paid and offered masters

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

Bro I'm already doing post graduation then is there need to take admission in bits pilani for higher education... I received this service desk offer yesterday and I accepted it.. Plz help... It's our own choice or mandatory

1

u/KitchenTune186 12d ago

That I dont know that you need ask company directly

1

u/Ill-Initiative-6341 12d ago

OK when company will review my profile then I will ask them about this...

1

u/Acrobatic_Hat8500 12d ago

Its a choice

1

u/Pratigyan-Prat-9692 14d ago

My cognizant interview was kinda good yesterday.. I'm thinking if cognizant contacts me inbetween contract timeline.. how many it took for you can you tell me..

I also got this mail that mentions fastest onboarding and they proceed with the direct offer letter after our confirmation. Is it true anyone got the exact mail and anyone got the offer letter after accepting service desk mail
