What changed from the 2026 pattern
- AI Literacy is new: expect Gen AI, prompt engineering, RAG and agentic AI, and responsible AI.
- Debugging is now its own round: 1 task in C, C++ or Java in about 20 minutes.
- AI-Assisted Coding replaces the older standalone coding round, so prompting skill now matters alongside logic.
- The Communication round is unchanged in structure and is reported to be an elimination round.
How to prepare, round by round
- Communication: practise speaking aloud with a timer. Fluency and pronunciation are scored by the system, so silent reading is not enough.
- AI Literacy: learn the core terms well enough to tell similar ideas apart, such as RAG versus fine-tuning.
- Technical: revise programming logic, DSA basics and software engineering fundamentals.
- Debugging: read code before changing it, and trace with a small input to locate the fault.
- AI-Assisted Coding: break the problem down first, prompt in steps, and verify the output yourself.
- Cognitive: practise the Motion and Grid style games, since speed comes mainly from familiarity.

See what's includedFrequently asked questions
How many rounds are there in Capgemini Exceller 2027?
Candidates report 7 stages: 5 online assessments and 2 interviews (Technical and HR). Capgemini has not published this officially, so check your own notification.
Is pseudocode still part of the Capgemini test?
In the reported 2027 pattern, the Technical Module is AI Literacy plus a Technical Assessment on programming logic, DSA and software engineering, with Debugging and AI-Assisted Coding as separate rounds. Older guides that centre on pseudocode describe earlier drives.
Is the Capgemini communication round an elimination round?
Candidates report that it is, so prepare for it as seriously as the technical rounds.
What is the Capgemini AI-Assisted Coding round?
It is a roughly 45-minute round where you solve a coding task by directing an AI assistant through prompts. It tests how well you break down a problem and check the output.
