CTS INTERVIEW – 09 APR 2006 – COIMBATORE

Let me tell u abt the Tech and HR.

mine was the first batch at 9.00am on 9th april. i was there by 7.45 am, time management is very
important coz they set aside all the people wjo came late, may be they gave chance at last. there
were all together 4 batches 9.00, 10.00, 11.00 and 1.00.

they started calling people(330 total) at 9.15 am. A lady came and anounced that there is
TECH and HR rounds and if we feel that u have done enough in Tech the person in the
panel will say u directly to check ur results and in case if we feel that we need to take u to
HR then u will be sent to HR.

the condition here is if u dont go for HR that means u dont find ur name in the results, TECH
round was also elimination round, and HR was selection round. there were all together 21 panels
18 TECH and 3 HR. nobody knows that u do have HR panels until u clear TECH.

The candidates who cleared TECH were taken to a seperate place to sit and then sent for
HR only 66 were selected out of 330. i am one of them.

mine was panel 11. There was only one person his site makes u feel comfortable and says that
he is very friendly and has a lot of experience in IT sector.
ME: Good morning sir and i gave him a firm handshake.
TECH: Sreenivasan feeling Nervous,
ME: NO sir

TECH:ok srenivasan tell abt ur self

ME: i told him abt me and said that i am very mch comfortable with programming and
presently working as a part time faculty for C and core java(its true i am still working from last feb
2005). i could see his eyes he was intrested in me.

TECH: why should i hire u, i mean how u r different from others

ME: i told all my positive strengths

TECH: He gave me 10 elements and asked me to search an element using binary search.
ME: i was waiting for C based questions and answere him very clearly. and said we can use
recrusion for best performance.(he asked me then i said that)

TECH: what datastructure does recrusion use.

ME: i could not get him, he helped me with some examples i said STACK, before it gores for the
call, it would push tha status into a stack sir,
TECH: ok tell me the output of this

while(i=10)
{
printf("i=%d",i);
i++;
}
printf("the value of i=%d",i);

ME: infinite loop sir, coz as i is assigned a value 10 that statement would be true so it would
never beak coaz its always true. he said ok

perticular that the catdidate should have no more that 2 arriers)

the voilenter went in and took me to a place where all tech round clered were sitting, i was very
HAPPY, there wr around 15 with me,they they took me to HR after 20 min's.

the HR was very cool and was asking me whether i will be willing to relocate anywhere. i said that
i am a global man and i am ready to go anywhere. initially he was not intrested in me he took my
certificates and checked them many times, i was a bit nervous coz mostly he was keeping calm
almost for abt 10 min i was just sitting numb, i between telling him abt the university and
semisters i have got(we have 1 year and 7 semisters)

where.
he was happy and said if u get selected and if ur posting is at coimbatore u will have to work in
shifts i said no problem, He was happy and forwarded his hand and aked me to check my results
on 12 tha april at 8.00pm i said thank u sir with a big smile and i was confident that i have
cracked CTS but after that failure in HR at satyam i was a bit nervous
BUT now i have really very happy.

friends remember one thing be what u r and always have a smile on ur face and believe in urself
and offcourse almighty.

CTS PAPER - 08 APR 2006 - COIMBATORE

Hi Friends

I am sreenivasan from HYDERABAD, i got the the call form CTS for written test on 8th april in
coimbatore. I have cleared my written Tech and awaiting for the results of my HR. that would be
put on 12th 8.00PM in CTS web site. Let me brief my experience

the location was kumaraguru colege of Technology.

there were 3 batches 9.00a.m, 12.00 and 2.00pm

Mine was First Batch.

This was the first time CTS went for a very different pattern.
It has given the written test to conduct for a consultancy of bangalore MERIT TRAC

the paper consisted of 3 sections

1. Verbal Ability - 25 questions

2.Analitical Ability- 25 questions
3.Mental Ability-20 questions

there was a Cut off for each section

i came to know that they increased the cutoff for every batch i.e 12 to 16

All the sections were very easy, actually there is no need for any preparation, only thing is u have
to manage time(every body can coz its dam easy).and attend all questions. THERE IS NO
NEGATIVE MARKING

first section consist of few english questions like choose the artical, fill the correct word and 2
passages.

The questrions were as easy as

eg: His leprosy leg was infeasible_____ pain.
a) to b) for c) ....

Second section has

General questions like

Venn diagrams
eg:
a family went for a picnic. 20% of them ate apples, 30% for them ate oranges, 40% of the age
grapes. 10% of ate all the three. 12 % ate apples and oranges. 14% ate apples and grapes.10%
of the ate grapes and oranges.
Q1. how many ate only apples
Q2 how many ate only grapes
Q3 how many ate none

there were 3 questions like this

there was a cube problem

a cube which is painted all side is divided into 125 parts

Q How many single side painted

Q How many 2 sided
www.vyoms.com - Redefining the way freshers get job!

Q how many 3 sided

Q how many none

this is very easy if u use the formulae

Total no.of cubes= n3
exactly one face=6*(n-2)whole square
exactly two faces painted=12(n-2)
no face painted =(n-2)whole cube

so on.....

just normal preparation is enough

the 3rd section is very easy mental ability

in some language * means + , + means / ,- means - and so on

then what is
2+4*3/5 is

4 questions like this

there were silly questions like observation

Select the following
A) if A and B are same
B) if A and C are same
C) if B and C are same
D if none is equal
E data is not adequate

1)
A)1054.122335467 B)1054.122345467 C)1054.122343567

the answer is D

2)
A) 107773.32343 B)107773.32443 C)107773.32343

answer is B ( as A and C are equal)

all this sort ...

very easy

But the cut off is come there is a need for accurecy

there were altogether 1500 people from all over INDIA.
the Number that cleared is 330.

CTS PATTERN - 30 MAR 2006

Hi Friends,

I am the happiest person. I got placed in CTS after a loooong struggle.

I am a B-Tech fresh graduate (2005). After applying more than 600 jobs (personally as well as
online), I got calls for the Interview from less than 20 companies only. I was much disappointed
and dipressed. WITHOUT LOOSING HOPE, I tried my level best, by preparing myself in the core
subjects and analytically and verbally too. After a long time, I got call from CTS.

The pattern here is simple. The written test constitutes, Verbal, Analytical and logical sections.
There wont be any Coding sections. I could clear the written test. I got call to attend the Interview
(2nd round). In the Interview, most of the questions will be from the semester subjects like C,C++,
OOPs, OS and DBMS. It depends how you manage your strengths in the area which you are
interested. You must be able to write few programs. The Interview was a success and I was very
happy. I was selected to the next round ie., HR round. If you could reach HR round, the you are
almost selected. In HR round, you will be asked for your introduction and your willingness to
relocate and few other questions.

Finally the results were announced. And there was my name in the list. I am the happiest. Thank
GOD, and thanks to all my friends and people and special thanks to VYOM JOBS Groups and its
members for supporting me through out.

Last but not the least, I would like to tell all the members one thing.
Be strong in YOUR SUBJECTS. This is the area where you need to prove yourself. Prepare
yourself and be strong ANALYTICALLY and VERBALLY. Never loose your hope. Apply as
many jobs as you can, that suits your skills and interests.

Just remember one thing.

SUCCESS DOESN'T COME TO YOU....... YOU GO TO IT.
