Group Case study was based on a scenario involving 13 cave explorers who were trapped in a cave. You are part of a rescue crew and need to prioritise who you will save within the given timeframe as water is rising. Each person in the cave has a short bio of which will influence your decision (e.g. one person is a doctor, another is a child, another a criminal etc). Once complete, staff will act like reporters and ask why the solution was presented and why people were left to die (if that is your result) and what you would tell the families. Individual case study is based on a 'consulting scenario' where you meet a client at a conference and they have a set of challenges they require advise for. As a consultant, you represent Cognizant and need to discuss a proposed solution to help the client solve their problem.

There was a business case, but it was a breeze. Seemed like the interviewer saw the case the first time, as well. Later as I was working in the firm, I realized the interviews are additional chore for the Senior Managers and that is a time of the week that is the fun part. They have a packet to prepare, but most just fling it on the site
