Trending @Cognizant; Promotion Process
usually HR shares the eligible people's list to senior managers, engagement delivery leads, directors etc etc people but not to the home manager, that's the reason managers say we don't have any list but they need to check with their leads, some manager's will be helpful some won't even care, next the process is you should be eligible in all aspects whatever they have mentioned and in the shared list it will be mentioned in an Excel format like all the eligible things are green on your name or not, here comes the main picture, it's not auto promotion, your leads need to resend/ approve your name for promotion and sends back the list to HR as your name is approved for promotion and main thing is don't think that you will be promoted even if all things are green for you because in some projects there will be some budget issues etc etc reasons they will say you and stops your promotion. Finally after leads sharing your promotion approval to HR again, then HR initiates the process and sends email to Home manager as you got promoted, now the HM knows that you are promoted, here HM role is less.some leads inform managers as you are promoted some won't that's why some manager's says they don't know anything

Is there any way we will get promotion after completing 24 months

This is correct process explained by @AliveFrosting. Those who are fulfilling the criteria and completing their 30 months before 11th Aug they are eligible. List is shared with edl/pdl and they are forwarding to HM to complete excel and asking to resend it back.

Why Aug 11 as quarter is not yet ended. This quarter is from July to sep right?

No this is not true that as RTO is being considered up to Aug 11 that means those who completed 30 months before that time will only be considered. Depends on when the list was sent out. As far as I know the list was sent out last week of August, so at least they would consider it up to 25th August.
Yes the September people have to wait another quarter. That is for sure.

I got 2 rating in 2024 . If I get 3 rating for 2025 YEA. Will I eligible for Q4 promotion cycle of 2025 ?

IGM & PA - A promotion is going to be frozen.

I am billable for the last 3 months only but I am still in the PA role for 3 years, so will i be nominated? Or eligible or I need to be billable for 30 months to get promoted?
