Capgemini Placement Papers: Practice Questions with Solutions

Capgemini’s online aptitude test is the first filter in its campus placement process, and the pseudocode section is where most unprepared candidates lose points.

This page covers the 2026 test pattern, sample questions across all sections, and worked solutions for every question, verified independently and not copied from legacy answer keys that occasionally carry errors.

The 2026 Capgemini Test Pattern at a Glance

Five sections make up Capgemini’s online assessment. All are MCQ-based except for the behavioural test and one written component in the English section.

Section	Format	What It Tests
Pseudocode	MCQ	Code-tracing logic: loops, conditionals, variable assignment
Quantitative Aptitude	MCQ	Arithmetic, percentages, ratios, time-speed-distance
English Communication	MCQ + short essay	Grammar, comprehension, written expression
Game-Based Aptitude	Interactive puzzles	Pattern recognition, deductive thinking, cognitive speed
Behavioural Competency	MCQ	Situational judgement and work-style preferences

No negative marking applies to any section. Technical and HR interviews follow for candidates who clear the online cutoff.

Two salary tracks run for freshers:

• Analyst track: Rs.4.0-4.5 LPA (standard fresher intake)
• Senior Analyst track: Rs.6.5-7.5 LPA (candidates who clear higher cutoffs across all sections)

The difference between the two is rarely determined by a single section. Consistent performance across the full test moves a candidate from one band to the other.

For a comparison with how other IT companies structure their online assessments, the CoCubes platform (which conducts assessments for several recruiters including Capgemini at some campuses) has its own format described in the CoCubes exam pattern and syllabus guide.

Capgemini Pseudocode Questions with Solutions

The pseudocode section is MCQ-based and requires no knowledge of a specific programming language. It tests whether you can trace logic: follow variable values through assignments, loops, and conditionals to predict what a block of code outputs.

The four questions below cover the main patterns that appear consistently across Capgemini placement papers.

Loop Trace

• Q1: What does the following pseudocode print?

  int a = 5, b = 10;
  while (a < b) {
    a += 2;
  }
  print(a);

• Answer: 11
• Working: Start: a=5, b=10. Loop check: 5 < 10 is true, a becomes 7. Check: 7 < 10 is true, a becomes 9. Check: 9 < 10 is true, a becomes 11. Check: 11 < 10 is false. Loop exits. Prints 11.

Modulus Operator

• Q2: What does the following pseudocode print?

  int x = 8, y = 3;
  int result = x % y;
  print(result);

• Answer: 2
• Working: 8 divided by 3 is 2 with remainder 2. The % operator returns the remainder. Result = 2.

Variable Assignment and Arithmetic

• Q3: What does the following pseudocode print?

  BEGIN
    A = 10
    B = 20
    C = A + B
    PRINT C
  END

• Answer: 30
• Working: A = 10, B = 20, C = 10 + 20 = 30. The PRINT statement outputs 30.

Undefined Variable Error

• Q4: Identify the error in this pseudocode:

  BEGIN
    X = 5
    Y = X + 10
    PRINT Z
  END

• Answer: Z is used but never assigned.
• Working: X is assigned 5, Y is assigned 15, but Z is never initialised. Printing Z causes an undefined-variable error. The correct line is PRINT Y.

FOR Loop Output

• Q5: What does the following pseudocode print?

  BEGIN
    FOR i = 1 TO 5
      PRINT i
    END FOR
  END

• Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (one value per line)
• Working: The loop counter i starts at 1 and increments by 1 on each pass. On each iteration, the current value of i is printed. The loop runs until i exceeds 5, so the output is the integers 1 through 5.

Capgemini Quantitative Aptitude Questions

The quantitative section covers arithmetic, percentages, ratios, and time-speed-distance. Questions follow standard campus aptitude patterns.

Percentage Calculation

• Q1: A product costs Rs.800. After a 15% discount, what is the final price?
• Answer: Rs.680
• Working: Discount = 15% of Rs.800 = Rs.120. Final price = Rs.800 minus Rs.120 = Rs.680.

Ratio and Proportion

• Q2: The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:2 and there are 30 students total. How many are girls?
• Answer: 12
• Working: Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5. Girls = (2 divided by 5) multiplied by 30 = 12.

Time, Speed, Distance

• Q3: A train travels 240 km at 60 km/h. How long does the journey take?
• Answer: 4 hours
• Working: Time = Distance divided by Speed = 240 divided by 60 = 4 hours.

Capgemini English Communication Test: Sample Questions

The English section covers grammar, sentence correction, synonyms, and a short essay. It screens written and verbal communication skills rather than vocabulary depth.

Subject-Verb Agreement

• Q1: Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
  • a) She don’t like ice cream.
  • b) She doesn’t like ice cream.
  • c) She didn’t likes ice cream.
  • d) She doesn’t liking ice cream.
• Answer: b) She doesn’t like ice cream.
• Explanation: “She” is singular; “doesn’t” is the correct third-person singular auxiliary. The base verb “like” follows “doesn’t.”

Phrasal Verb

• Q2: Fill in the blank: “I am looking forward ___ your reply.”
  • a) for b) to c) at d) with
• Answer: b) to
• Explanation: “Looking forward to” is a fixed phrasal verb. The preposition “to” is always used here.

Synonym

• Q3: Which word is closest in meaning to “benevolent”?
  • a) Kind b) Angry c) Selfish d) Rude
• Answer: a) Kind
• Explanation: “Benevolent” means generous and kind. Among the options, “Kind” is the closest match.

Capgemini’s AI Hiring Shift and What It Means for Freshers

Clearing the aptitude test gets you an interview slot. What you know about AI increasingly determines which track you land on once you’re through it.

Capgemini India plans to hire up to 45,000 in 2025 with an explicit focus on building an AI-ready workforce (Economic Times, 2025). The company also partnered with the Nasscom Foundation to train 700+ youths in AI skills, covering technical and soft skills for AI-driven roles. These two moves read together: Capgemini is hiring at scale, but the internal workforce it wants is AI-fluent.

The aptitude test (pseudocode, quantitative, and logical sections) does not directly test AI knowledge. The technical interview does. A fresher who can trace code logic, clear the aptitude cutoff, and then walk into the technical round with hands-on exposure to LLM tools or basic prompt engineering is demonstrably different from one who stopped at aptitude prep.

That gap is worth closing before the interview. TinkerLLM (Rs.299 launch price) is a self-paced environment for working with language models: prompting, output evaluation, and building small projects. The pseudocode practice above trains code-logic thinking; TinkerLLM builds the applied-AI layer that Capgemini’s technical interviewers are increasingly probing for.
