Hi, I wanted to get a quick overview of the current onboarding process at Cognizant for freshers joining in the PAT (Programmer Analyst Trainee) role.

Specifically, I would like to know:

1. What is currently happening in terms of onboarding and training?
2. How are training clusters assigned, and when can candidates provide their cluster preferences?
3. What is the approximate training capacity available for freshers in the PAT role?
4. What is the most recent date on which candidates received their LOI (Letter of Intent)?
5. What is the expected timeline for receiving the official offer letter after the LOI?
6. When does the Background Verification (BGV) process usually begin, and what documents are typically required?

Any insights or recent updates would be very helpful.
