"I was deployed as a full-time employee after my GenC training and that's when I discovered Cognizant's integrated higher education program. I was thrilled to know that I can enroll and pursue higher education from premium institutes in India, while working full-time. Currently, I am pursuing a master's in data science. Cognizant also facilitated a study loan to alleviate financial pressure for the first year's tuition fee. I envision myself working in the data science field in near future, utilizing technology to solve real-world problems”

“My journey from school to college focused on learning, upskilling, and innovation. After earning my bachelor's in computer engineering, I pursued my dream of a master's degree. Fascinated by data science, I completed my MTech in Data Science through CIHEP. This decision allowed me to explore deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing, enhancing my understanding of the field. I'm grateful for this opportunity”
“In the last one year of my association with Cognizant, I had the opportunity to be trained in industry relevant tools and techs. With that knowledge, I get to handle client requirements efficiently after being deployed to the project. Working on real time data and interacting with clients has been a fulfilling work experience for me. This is in line with the objective of the GenC training program that efficiently integrated technical and behavioral training as their curriculum. This ensures a holistic work life balance and as a result, an efficient work culture”
