Capgemini Syllabus

1) Overview of Capgemini Recruitment Process

The latest Capgemini hiring model generally includes the following rounds:

1. Technical Assessment (Computer Science + Coding + SQL + Cloud/AWS basics)
2. Pseudo Code Round
3. English Communication Test
4. Game-Based Aptitude Test
5. Behavioral Competency Assessment (Psychometric)
6. Technical Interview
7. HR / Managerial Interview

Not all roles contain all rounds, but this is the standard structure for engineering, IT, and software roles.

2) Detailed Exam Syllabus and Pattern

Time: 20–30 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate to Hard

Question types:

• Logical implementation of algorithms in pseudo-syntax
• Pointer manipulation
• Loops and recursion flow
• Array and string operations
• Searching & sorting concepts
• Output prediction and bug fixing

Languages used:
Structured pseudo-like mix of C/Java/Python but without strict syntax.

Round 3: English Communication Test

Time: 20–30 minutes
Difficulty: Medium

Cognitive skills measured:

• Memory retention
• Decision-making speed
• Pattern recognition
• Multitasking
• Problem-solving
• Numerical estimation
• Response optimization under time pressure

This is a test of mental ability, not subject knowledge.

Round 5: Behavioral Competency Assessment (Psychometric)

Time: 20–25 minutes
Difficulty: Not academic, but filtered strictly

The assessment measures:

• Teamwork

Number of Programs: 2–3
Time: 45–60 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate to Hard
Language allowance: C, C++, Java, Python (depending on platform)

Expected problem types:

• Strings and pattern matching
• Arrays, sorting, and searching
• Recursion-based problems
• Dynamic programming basics
• Greedy algorithms
• Hash maps and dictionaries
• Matrix manipulation
• Sliding window / two-pointer techniques

Test cases include:

• Hidden test cases
