i Friends,

I got selected in CTS through a off-campus drive recently, i'd like share some of my experiences.
There are three rounds

1. Aptitude round
2. Technical interview
3. HR round
Apps consists of 55 question and time duration is 50 mins.
25 verbal (20 mins), 30 analytical (30 mins)

It seems to be sectional cutoff (13 ,14) if you get above 27 you will be called for next round, but
don't think 27 is enough it may be higher try to score above 40 (because easy) you should be
very much conscious about your time, do quickly in mind without using paper or pens
Analytical ability:

There are problems based on based on figures ( R.S Aggarwal verbal reasoning is enough )

What next in the figure series, odd out etc.

Coding, decoding
Like berry, cfssz then query _____?

These are very easy, try to solve very quickly you should get full score in these topics so that it
will be easy to clear,the analytical section, about 13 questions came from these topics.

3 Question based on cartesian coordinates (graphical problems).

5 Questions based on eligibility test (R.S.Aggarwal)Tabulations Type

3 Syllogisms
All papers are pens

Some pens are birds

5 questions are like this

a) He worked hard
b) He doesn't work hard
c) He gain money
d) He is poor
I. abcd II. acbd III. cdab IV. adcb

Verbal ability (20mins)

(5 -questions) first try correct and incorrect sentences

Mistakes mostly related to present, past, future tenses articles and prepositions.

(5-questions) Jumbled sentences (understand present, past, or future tenses so that you can
predict find out more easily what happen before & after)

10 questions from paragraph

For paragraph read the questions first.

You can read the more quickly by improving your eyes movement. Move your eyes faster to read
lines,
concentration is important to understand.
A good reader can read 800-1000 words in a min.

Practice more on all the above topics to keep up the time

Technical interview:

Interview will be based on your projects, its applications, Future extension etc. Basics related to
your core,
key skills. Be conscious with your words.
For me technical interview is about 50 mins. Start Telling your project with its application,
advantages, new innovation.

First my interview asked me to explain my projects (I explained 3 of my projects because my

interviewer was not satisfied). After explaning my project my interviewer said to me, your good in
your core so i won't ask you from your core and given me 2 puzzles to solve.
I tried but wont get the answer ,i have done 1 correctly and the other partly correct, my
interviewer uses the word "iam not satisfied " repeatedly (more than 7 times)

But iam in the motto to satisfy him. Finally my interviewer asked me to explain about a movie
which i watched recently, in such away that he should get interest to see that movie, after my
explanations, my interviewer said to me is not satisfied with my explanations.

I waited about an hour to know my result, i cleared the my technical round, and called for HR.

HR round:

HR is just a formality. Though its just a formality keep in mind that they haven't selected you still.
Consious about your words more here be confident, not over confident.
All the best!

Thank you.

* panel consist of one person (May Be HR).
Tell me about Your Self
Tell ur hobbies.
Asked to solve one simple problem
Will u get this job?whats u r reaction if u won't get.

Poor attitude : Many candidates come across as arrogant. While employers can afford to
be self-centered, candidates cannot.
Appearance : Many candidates do not consider their appearance as much as they should.
First impressions are quickly made in the first three to five minutes.
Lack of research : It’s obvious when candidates haven’t learned about the job, company
or industry prior to the interview. Visit the library or use the Internet to research the
company, then talk with friends, peers and other professionals about the opportunity
before each meeting.
Not having questions to ask : Asking questions shows your interest in the company and
the position. Prepare a list of intelligent questions in advance.
Not readily knowing the answers to interviewers’ questions : Anticipate and rehearse
answers to tough questions about your background, such as recent termination or an
employment gap. Practicing with your spouse or a friend before the interview will help you
to frame intelligent responses.
Relying too much on resumes : Employees hire people, not paper. Although a resume can
list qualifications and skills, it’s the interview dialogue that will portray you as a
committed, responsive team player.
Too much humility : Being conditioned not to brag, candidates are sometimes reluctant to
describe their accomplishments. Explaining how you reach difficult or impressive goals
helps portray you as a committed, responsive team player.
Not relating skills to employers’ needs : A list of sterling accomplishments means little if
you can’t relate them to a company’s requirements. Reiterate your skills and convince the
employer that you can “do the same for them”.
Handling salary issues ineptly : Candidates often ask about salary and benefit packages
too early. If they believe an employer is interested, they may demand inappropriate
amounts and price themselves out of the jobs. Candidates who ask for too little
undervalue themselves or appear desperate.
Lack of career direction : Job hunters who aren’t clear about their career goals often can’t
spot or commit to appropriate opportunities. Not knowing what you want wastes
everybody’s time.
Job shopping : Some applicants, particularly those in certain high-tech, sales and
marketing fields, will admit they’re just “shopping” for opportunities and have little
intention of changing jobs. This wastes time and leaves a bad impression with employers
they may need to contact in the future.
