Item 5.    Other Events.

      On April 1, 2003, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (the
"Company") effected a three-for-one stock split on its Class A Common Stock in
the form of a 200% stock dividend.

      Certain financial and statistical data included in the Form 10-K,
including all applicable references as to the number of outstanding common
shares and per share information has been restated for the effect of the stock
split. Additionally, appropriate adjustments have been made in the exercise
price and number of shares subject to stock options. Stockholders' equity
accounts have been restated to reflect the reclassification of an amount equal
to the par value of the increase in issued common shares from the additional
paid in capital account to the common stock accounts.

      Such restated financial and statistical data is set forth in the Company's
financial statements attached as an exhibit 99.1 and in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders to be delivered to stockholders of record as of the close
of business as of April 17, 2003 on or about April 28, 2003. The stock split
was not effective at the date the Company filed its Form 10-K, and as a result,
it was not reflected therein.
