CERTIFICATION

I, Gordon Coburn, certify that:

     1. I have  reviewed  this  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  of  Cognizant
        Technology Solutions Corporation;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a material fact or omit to state a  material  fact necessary  to make
        the  statements  made, in  light of the  circumstances  under which such
        statements were  made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
        by this report;

     3. Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other  financial
        information  included in  this report, fairly  present in  all  material
        respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows
        of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

     4. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are  responsible for
        establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and procedures (as
        defined  in  Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for   the
        registrant and have:

           a)  Designed  such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
               disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under our
               supervision,  to ensure that material information relating to the
               registrant,  including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
               known to us by others within those entities,  particularly during
               the period in which this report is being prepared;

           b)  [PARAGRAPH OMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SEC TRANSITION INSTRUCTIONS
               CONTAINED IN SEC RELEASE 34-47986];

           c)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  registrant's   disclosure
               controls  and   procedures  and  presented  in  this  report  our
               conclusions  about the  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls
               and  procedures,  as of the  end of the  period  covered  by this
               report based on such evaluation; and

           d)  Disclosed  in this report any change in the registrant's internal
               control  over  financial   reporting  that  occurred  during  the
               registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's  fourth
               fiscal  quarter  in  the  case  of an  annual  report)  that  has
               materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially
               affect,   the   registrant's   internal  control  over  financial
               reporting; and

     5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
        our  most  recent   evaluation  of  internal  control   over   financial
        reporting,  to the registrant's auditors  and the audit committee of the
        registrant's  board  of directors (or  persons performing the equivalent
        function):

           a)  All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting
               which are reasonably  likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability  to  record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial
               information; and

           b)  Any  fraud, whether or not  material, that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
               internal control over financial reporting.
