Capgemini India

1. Online application

Candidates typically apply through Jobaaj, campus placement drives, or the Capgemini careers page for fresher and experienced openings. Large batches are hired each year across engineering colleges and off-campus drives.

2. Online assessment

Shortlisted candidates take an online test typically covering pseudocode or programming logic, English communication, and aptitude sections, with each section acting as a gate to the next. There is usually no negative marking, but every section must be cleared.

3. Coding or technical assessment

For technology roles, a coding round evaluates programming fundamentals, data structures and problem-solving ability in a language of the candidate's choice. Time management across multiple problems is important in this round.

4. Technical interview

A senior technical panel assesses domain knowledge, coding concepts and practical application relevant to the role or project. Candidates are usually asked to walk through their resume projects in technical depth.

5. HR interview

The HR round covers behavioural aspects, career aspirations, willingness to relocate, and overall fit with Capgemini's project-based delivery model. Communication skills and adaptability to client environments are also assessed.

6. Offer and onboarding

Selected candidates receive an offer letter followed by background verification and a structured onboarding or training programme. Freshers typically go through technical training before being deployed to a client project.

Capgemini India's interview process typically has three to four rounds for most fresher and experienced technology roles.

Round 1: Online written assessment

A timed online test, typically 60-90 minutes, covers pseudocode or programming logic, English communication, and aptitude or reasoning games. Each section is an elimination gate, so consistent performance across all of them matters.

• Basic programming logic and data structure questions
• Verbal ability and situational judgement sections
• Logical and deductive reasoning games

Round 2: Coding assessment

For engineering roles, a separate coding round tests hands-on programming and problem-solving in a chosen language. Clean, working code is generally valued over an unfinished optimal solution.

• Array, string or basic algorithm problems
• Debugging or code-completion exercises
• Basic object-oriented programming concepts

Round 3: Technical interview

A technical panel conducts a 30-45 minute interview on core computer science concepts and the candidate's projects or resume. Candidates should be ready to explain design choices in their own projects clearly.

• Object-oriented programming and database basics
• Explaining a past academic or work project in depth

Round 4: HR interview

The final round, typically 20-30 minutes, covers behavioural questions, relocation flexibility and career goals. HR also explains Capgemini's project allocation and training process for new joiners.

• Salary expectations and notice period
• Willingness to work on client projects across locations
