Respected Sir/mam,
I will like to draw your kind attention to this immense sad event of my life. Before giving entire details of the experience that i have gone through i will like to mention my background in brief. Myself Saptarshi nandi , a resident of Kestopur kolkata, age 23 yrs ( D.O.B.[protected] is currently pursuing M.B.A. from Heritage Institute Of Technology - Kolkata. Prior to that i have completed B.B.A. from the Heritage Academy.
As the job market is very bad our conditions ovf placement is pathetic. Therefore i am looking for jobs through various job career portals. On 14th March, I received a mail from Naukri.com in my gmail account. The mail was of a walk in interview with Cognizant. It was mentioned that Cognizant technology solutions have openings for fresh graduates who have passed their graduation in[protected]. The timings of walk in interview was from 9:30-12:30.The salary, designation of the job was not mentioned. It was also mentioned that candidates must have excellent typing skills and should be willing to work in night shifts. And there was an additional note mentioning that candidates with B.E./ B.Tech/ M.C.A. are not eligible.
On 16th March i went for the walk0in with C.T.S., the venue was Unitech Building, Rajarhat, Newtown, Kolkata. On reaching there , i found to my surprise that there were more than 100 candidates who have applied for the job.There were 3 rounds. 1st round- English and Reasoning Ability, 2nd Round - Online Test to check my typing speed. 3rd round- H.R. Round.
I have successfully cleared all the 3 rounds. In the H.R. round, I was asked how can i manage my studies along with the job schedule. I clearly mentioned to the interviewer that our college wants to get rid of students as they are willing to provide placements. So if the students on their own effort can manage a job from outside sources they do not have any hesitation. Our classes are going to get over by the end of March and our finalm semester will be from the mid week of May. On 18th March the H.r. of Kolkata, Ms. Powlumi Mukherjee gave a phone call and she gave me the news of my success in the H.R. round . She asked me to come down to The Technopolis Building on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. with all my documents and portfolios. I went to the venue as mentioned as mentioned by her and handed all my documents to her . Even on that day i clearly mentioned that my P.G. course is not over yet as i am only left with 1 semester and there will be no conflict between my job schedule and my studies. On that day she rejected on of the selected candidate as he was having his education through distance learning. She said that Cognizant is very particular about documents as they only entertain full time courses.
My joining date was on 1st april, 2013, Prior to that, i received my appointment letter,welcome mailer of my employer on friday through mail. i had to go through all the pre joining activities. My id was 46032893. I had send all my scanned documents ito mail ids furnished by them.1.[protected]@cognizant.com and 2.[protected]@cognizant.com. for background verification. They even asked for P.G. Final year marksheet but i have been mentioning to them that i am still pursuing my M.B.A. course. On 27th March,received a call from Ms Powlumi Muukherjee telling me that she cannot hire me on board as i have not completed my P.G. course. I asked her if she could manage in anyway but she replied that that she cannot do anything. She said to me that higher authority told her that they cannot entertain any student who is still pursuing P.G. course.
On receiving the news i was shocked and i was completely astonished. In wondered how can such a MNC which is considered to be the 3rd most admired I.T. company can commit such a mistake, and how can the H.R. be so callous and careless in her work approach. I asked her to send me written justification via mail and how can even after offering me the appointment letter they are rejecting my appointment. But there was no suh response from her . Thus i am bound to take a legal action and i am lodging a complain against Cognizant Technology solutions.
Thank You,
Saptarshi Nandi
