Finally I’m a proud CTS fresher. The first ranked company in fastest growing companies. Cognizant is the second company to recruit our college technocrats. I missed TCS, one of prestigious Indian Software giant. But now I got a better career from CTS.

I cleared TCS apti and entered technical round. There were three guys around me, trying to disturb my concentration and bombarded me with their technical excellence. Being an average student I was not able to compete with them. I tried my level best. But one akka came out and read the names of guys who were not short listed. I was the second.

Then many guys joined me and we formed CTS club. Our HOD mam enquired the placed guys about us. They recited all the matters about CTS club and the way we teased the TCS guys. Those are all for fun. Then started the serious preparation. I went to my friend’s home and slept all the time. There a guy told that I will be placed in CTS since I was always sleeping.

Thanks to that boys comment, I cleared the CTS apti in a great manner. That gave me a confidence and I spent nearly an hour with HR. The round was very informal. We were discussing about all the stuff not at all related to company. In other words, “No questions asked”. Then all the guys from my panel told that they were punctured by tech arrows. I was the odd man out. Finally (may be by the influence of our HOD) CTS made it.

A Day before:

I was sleeping, so it must be a dream. But it might become true soon. A guy was delivering a gracious speech in a big conference. I was not able to recognize him, since it was a view of backside (not only the bums). But he spoke about his career and its growth. He attended the Wipro interview and was rejected. Then he joined Patni. Now he is the founder and chief Mentor of the company which is the first Indian based company to be listed at NASDAQ, the prestigious INFOSYS.

The next scene was a similar one. Same back view with some size variations. The guy was speaking about his career. He was once rejected by TCS and then joined CTS. Now founder and CEO of a prestigious Indian based Software Giant (RCS). Any body who is having a slight doubt about the second person mentioned here can ask.

PS : At the time of the second guys speech, there were some school children studying some text books comprising a lesson about the same guy 
