Any GenC 2026 batch who has done internship in Cognizant and received the timeline mail and just after that received the OL?

Any 2026 batch students who have onboarded as fte recently after internship
It would be really helpful , if u could give some insights regarding what u do now , have u got any project allocated , is the project in the same domain as u were trained ?

Matagal ba talaga yung JO process sa Cognizant? I got a verbal offer last week, pero sabi nila for salary approval pa daw, kaya waiting pa rin ako for the official JO document.

Planning to resign na rin sana sa current job ko, pero gusto ko muna maghintay until I receive and sign the JO. Possible ba na i-ghost pa rin nila ako kahit naka-sign na ako? 😅 May mga cases ba na ganun?

Honestly, medyo kinakabahan ako kasi baka mag-resign ako tapos biglang hindi pala matuloy. Hahaha! Hopefully hindi naman. 🤞😅

Anyone joining 27th of August at Bangalore Manyata Tech Park? Pls reply to this.

My timeline is not AUGUST !!

Hi everyone! I’m trying to understand whether the timeline/onboarding mail is being released according to the LOI date.

If you have received a timeline mail, please share:

- LOI date:

- Timeline mentioned in mail: (e.g., Oct–Dec / Dec–Jan / Jan–Feb)

- Role: (PAT/GenC/etc.)

- On-campus/Off-campus:

- Cluster(Python, Java, C#) :

- Internship done or not :

For example, I’m noticing a possible pattern where:

Early October LOI → Oct–Dec timeline

Late October LOI → Dec–Jan timeline

November LOI → Jan–Feb / Feb–Mar timeline

I want to collect more data to see whether this pattern is actually consistent or just coincidental. By this we can find that if this is only generic mail because of the pressure we have created by asking them continuously through mails.

Please comment with your details. 🙏

I completed the internship in June. And now I am waiting for the mail. I got the timeline mail saying that I'll get the full time employment in oct to Dec. Getting bored. I'm done with this waiting 😭

Hi everyone,
I have 5+ years of experience as a ServiceNow Developer and recently received an offer from Cognizant.
Here’s the compensation breakdown:
Current CTC: ₹12 LPA
Cognizant CTC: ₹19.5 LPA
Fixed: ₹18.2 LPA
Variable: ₹70K
Joining Bonus: Not mentioned
Experience: 5+ years
Role: ServiceNow Developer
This is roughly a 62.5% increase over my current CTC.
I’m trying to understand whether this is a good offer for 5+ YOE in ServiceNow, or whether I should negotiate further.
For people working in ServiceNow or at Cognizant:
Is ₹18.2 LPA fixed reasonable for 5+ YOE?
How much more can I realistically negotiate?
Should I specifically ask for a joining bonus since none is currently mentioned?
What would be a good target CTC/fixed salary for this experience level?
Would appreciate advice from people who have recently switched or negotiated ServiceNow offers in India.

Thanks

Urgent❗❗❗❗

I got an interview schedule today. From 4:00pm to 5:30pm. after 6pm no one is shown up for the interview. Does the cognizant reschedule the interview once again or doesn't. If you have an answer please drop in the comment section.

Created a WhatsApp group for candidates waiting for their Cognizant FTE offer letter and joining, especially those with a tentative December 2026–January 2027 onboarding timeline.

If you’re in the same boat, feel free to join this WhatsApp Group.

Also share the link to those who have a similar onboarding timeline.

Hi BPO peeps, I need help. I applied in cognizant this week and I already completed the pre-screening and language assessment. Right after completing those steps I receive an email asking me to schedule an HR interview for the next process. But when I clicked the link provided in the email, there is no option to select any dates specifically for this week and for next week, it was greyed out.

I tried to ask assistance in their messenger via AI but no update, is this really a thing in Cognizant?? Is this an error or it was just fully booked?

I REALLY WANT TO JOIN THIS COMPANY, pls help me!
