Trending @Cognizant; Are the people on the bench eligible for Q4 promotions (PA to A) in this?
I was released from the project and have been on the bench since the first week of November. However, I am still reporting to my old PM, and based on my performance in the earlier project, he gave me a 5 rating in this YER. But I haven’t been allocated to any new project yet.
-
So, my doubt is whether nominations for the A-level promotions have started or not?
-
If the HM nominates me, will I be eligible for a promotion?
-
Will my promotion be rejected by the BU because I don’t have a project?
-
If I’m eligible what was the effective start date?
Waiting for hearing all your thoughts

How could you know the rating before the reveal? Don't trust PMs

Ratings are not yet disclosed, also rating is not the only criteria for PA to A promotion and criteria keeps changing with each quarter. So i would suggest you to connect with your old PM since he/she disclose your rating, they should be able to tell you criteria as well.
