Capgemini Interview Experience of candidates
Experience 1
I applied for the Capgemini Off-Campus drive, and after about a month, I received an email inviting me to take the online assessment.
Round 1: Online Test
The online assessment had 4 sections, each with its own cutoff. Only the last section was non-eliminatory.
- Pseudocode – 30 questions | 30 minutes
- English Communication Test – 30 questions | 30 minutes
- Game-Based Aptitude – Solve any 4 out of 24 games | 24 minutes
- Behavioral Competency Test – 100 questions | 20 minutes
Only if you clear one section, you get to attempt the next.
After completing the test, I waited for almost two weeks to get the result.
Then I got an email saying I was shortlisted for the Software Analyst role, along with the interview date.
A day before the interview, another email arrived with the time, system requirements, and interview link.
Round 2: Technical Interview
The technical interview lasted around 20 minutes and was taken by a senior employee.
As soon as I joined the meeting, he introduced himself and explained the job role.
Then he asked the following questions:
- Introduce yourself
- Write an SQL query to get the maximum and minimum salary
- What is RDBMS?
- What is a palindrome?
- What are the four pillars of OOPS?
- Explain your latest project
- Why did you choose Deep Learning?
- Which technologies do you enjoy working with?
- Have you done any certifications?
At the end, he said he liked my confidence and told me to wait for the result.
A few days later, I received a mail for the HR round.
Round 3: HR Interview
The HR round lasted around 15 minutes. I tried to remain confident like before.
These were the questions asked:
- Tell me something that is not mentioned in your resume
- Why Capgemini? Why do you want to join us?
- What will you do if you are given a project you don’t like?
- If required, are you ready to relocate?
- What are your salary expectations?
- Do you have any questions?
I asked the HR about his experience at Capgemini and what he has learned working in the corporate world.
He shared a short but meaningful answer and gave a few helpful tips.
Experience 2 :
I got a referral from one of my seniors who works at Capgemini and applied for the Off-Campus Drive using that referral. Soon after, I was shortlisted for the online assessment.
The exam was conducted on CoCubes, and it had four sections: pseudocode, English communication, game-based aptitude, and a behavioral competency test.
The difficulty level was moderate, and all sections were elimination rounds except the behavioral test.
I cleared the online test and received an email inviting me to the next stage—the technical interview.
The interview link was shared over email, and the technical round lasted around 25–30 minutes.
These were some of the questions asked:
- Tell me about yourself
- What is a loop?
- Write a code using nested if
- What is the SQL query to create a table?
- Difference between Primary Key and Foreign Key
- What are ACID properties?
- Difference between C and C++
- Explain your project
After a few days, I received another email informing me that I was shortlisted for the HR interview, which was scheduled for the next week.
The HR round included questions like:
- What have you done in the last 6 months to improve your technical skills?
- What are your long-term goals?
- What do you know about Capgemini and its services?
- Why should we hire you?
- Are you open to relocation?
- Do you have any questions for us?
After the conversation, the HR told me to wait for the final email regarding the result.
Experience 3 :
Capgemini visited our campus in June for hiring students for the Senior Analyst role.
Our TPO had already informed us in May that Capgemini might come, so I started preparing early for both the test and the interview.
I mostly studied from PrepInsta, and it was honestly very helpful for me.
There were 2 rounds in total:
- Online Test
- Interview
The entire hiring process continued for almost two weeks.
Round 1: Online Test
The test had three sections:
1. Coding Section
There were 3 coding problems.
Each student received a different set, so the questions were not the same for everyone.
The difficulty level was moderate, and I was able to solve them without many issues.
2. Verbal Ability
This part had 30 questions.
The questions were related to basic English grammar, reading comprehension, sentence ordering, etc.
3. Game-Based Aptitude
This was the last part of the test.
It included 4 puzzle-based games.
After one week, the results were announced, and the shortlisted candidates were called for the interview.
Round 2: Interview
My interview was conducted on the Superset platform.
There was only one interviewer, and he asked both technical and HR questions.
Some of the technical questions were:
- Tell me about yourself.
- Explain a project you recently worked on.
- What challenges did you face during this project?
- What improvements can be made in the future?
- Which programming language do you like the most?
- Which OOPS concepts are used in Python?
- What is data entropy?
- What is normalization?
After that, he asked me HR questions such as:
- Why do you want to work at Capgemini?
- What do you like about our company?
- If your team members speak in a regional language you don’t know, how will you manage?
- Are you willing to relocate?
- Can you work night shifts?
- Do you have any questions for us?
The interview lasted for around 30 minutes.
After the interview, I had to wait for another week to get the final result.
Thankfully, I got selected!
Really grateful to PrepInsta — their study materials helped me a lot.
Experience 4 :
Capgemini came to our campus in September for an on-campus recruitment drive. They were hiring students for Analyst and Senior Analyst roles.
Based on how students performed in the first round, they were shortlisted for one of the two profiles.
Round 1: Online Assessment
Capgemini had recently updated their exam format, so at first, I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure what kind of questions would appear.
Luckily, I had already checked the updated pattern on the PrepInsta website. I prepared according to that, and many of the questions in the actual test were quite similar.
The online assessment had four sections:
- Pseudo-code
- English Communication
- Game-Based Aptitude
- Behavioral (Psychometric) Round
After a few days, the results were announced, and I was shortlisted for the interview round.
Round 2: TR + HR Interview
There was only one combined interview, where both technical and HR questions were asked.
The interviewer was very warm and polite. She began with some casual conversation—asking about my day and the weather in my city—before moving into the technical part.
Some of the questions she asked:
- Tell me about yourself.
- What is the difference between C and C++?
- Explain the different types of inheritance.
- How is a while loop different from a do-while loop?
- You recently did an internship. What were the main things you learned from it?
- What are your weaknesses?
(I mentioned that I struggle when working under extreme pressure.) - If you have multiple tasks with a short deadline, how will you manage them?
- How fast can you learn a new technology?
- Are you comfortable working night shifts if needed?
- Would you be willing to sign a bond with the company?
- Do you have any questions for me?
The interview went on for about 25 minutes. It was a really good experience, and I felt confident while answering.
After a few days, I received an email saying that I had been selected.
Experience 5
Number of Rounds: 3
Round 1: Aptitude Test
Pseudo Code
In this section, we either had to pick the correct output or identify errors in the given code.
There were 15 basic algorithm and recurrence–based questions.
This round was an elimination round, so accuracy was important.
Verbal Ability
This was slightly easier but still tricky.
There were three long comprehension passages, plus fill-in-the-blanks and grammar questions.
A good strategy is:
- Do the grammar questions first,
- Then fill-in-the-blanks,
- Attempt the comprehension at the end.
The passages were lengthy and tough for students from non-English backgrounds.
More than 50% of the students were eliminated in this round.
Game-Based Aptitude
This round was fun but required speed and focus.
The questions were like mental ability games involving grids, motions, memory puzzles, mirror images, water images, etc.
You had to clear each level to move to the next.
Each level had very little time — around 10 seconds.
If you make mistakes, you can get eliminated here too.
Psychometric Test
This round included 100 personality-based questions to understand your mindset.
This is not an elimination round.
Note: Except for the psychometric test, all other sections were elimination rounds, so you must stay careful throughout.
Round 2: Technical Interview
Be prepared according to your resume.
Since I had added C and Java, the interviewer asked me to write a simple pattern program in both languages.
He then asked basic questions from:
- C Programming
- DBMS
- Java
The interview lasted about 20–25 minutes.
I answered everything confidently.
Within 30 minutes, I received a call for the HR round.
Round 3: HR Interview
Even though HR interviews are usually easy, Capgemini’s HR round was quite strict.
The interviewer corrected even small grammar mistakes, so communication skills really matter here.
I somehow managed to clear this round too.
After about two weeks, I received my selection email.
That was the full interview process—I hope it helps you.
