Capgemini uses a slot-based assessment format. The pseudo code round is unique and tests the ability to trace through code without running it.
Key Topics to Prepare
- Aptitude — Basic arithmetic, ratios, percentages, reading comprehension, and logical puzzles.
- Technical MCQ — C/Java output questions, SQL queries, OS concepts (deadlock, paging), and network layers.
- Pseudo Code — Tracing through loops, recursion output, variable swapping, and debugging logical errors in pseudo code.
- Coding — String manipulation, array operations, number theory, and basic algorithmic problems.
Preparation Tips
- The pseudo code round is a differentiator — practice tracing through code manually without running it on a computer.
- Technical MCQs cover CS fundamentals broadly — review DBMS (joins, keys), OS (scheduling, memory), and networking basics.
- For coding, Capgemini problems are moderate — focus on clean implementation of basic to medium problems.
- Time management is tight with short durations per slot — practice completing each section within its limit.
- Prepare for behavioural questions in the interview: teamwork examples, conflict resolution, and career aspirations.
Important Dates
Capgemini campus hiring typically occurs from August through February. Registration is coordinated through college placement cells. Specific 2026 dates are to be announced.
