The selection process consists of two rounds
(1) Written test
(2) Technical + HR round
Written test consists of three sections
VERBAL SECTION (25 questions-25min)
(1-10) comprehension (passages r too long)
(11-15) find the incorrect sentences
(16-20) find the correct sentences
(21-25) arrange the jumbled sentences
This is a quite tough section. Just make guesses. Mark option B or C.
ANALTICAL SECTION (25 questions-30min)
(1-5) Venn diagram
A group is divided into three. The first group is persons of 5′6 height and second and third r 6′0 and 6′6 respectively. There r totally 130 peoples, 50 of them r 5′6 and 65 of them r 6′6, 10 of them r 5′6 and 6′6, 15 of them r 5′6 and 6, 20 of them r 6′6 and 6, and 5 of them r all the three.
(1) How many of them r 6 feet? (Ans 70)
(2) How many of them r only 6 feet? (Ans 30)
(3) How many of them are only 5′6? (Ans 20)
(4) How many of them are only 6′6? (Ans 30)
(5) How many of them are at least two? (Ans 50)
Important formula in Venn diagram is
EXACTLY ONE = TOTAL - EXACTLY TWO - ALL THREE
(6-10) quantitative questions
(6) There r five boxes. In the first box we put some chocolates. Each box the number of choc is reduced by 1/4. The last box contains 4.Then the number of choc in the first box is (Ans 1024)
Other questions r from profit loss and other general questions. Sorry I don’t remember
(11-15) data sufficiency–Very easy one
(16-20) binary conversion
Please don’t read anything in the question. Just change any value to binary and convert that 1 to $ and 0 to *.
(Eg) LCM of (12 15 10) (ans 60 = 111100 = $$$$**)
(21-25) cubes
There is a building contractor. He designs a building such that The base consists of 16 cubes

CTS took 337 fresher from Techno Group colleges in a pool campus. 58 students were selected from Techno Main Campus, Salt lake. Main questions those were asked in Technical Interview:
* Write a C Program to check whether a String is a Pallindrome or not, explain the logic.
* What is the differences between i++, ++i. Is it different to write for(i=0;i<10;i++) i="0;i<10;++i)"> why needed, code of bubble sort, complexity of bubble sort. Insertion sort, Decimal to hexadecimal conversion, call by value and call by reference, advantages of call by reference
* SDLC model and its five steps,
* TCP IP, OSI Model
* Questions were asked from Windows VISTA-> what are the added special features
* Digital Electronics, specially basic questions from gates. NAND , NOR, XOR GATES. Why NAND is universal gate. Construction of XOR using NAND
* RACING *New Features in windows Vista.

* Can we develop Object Orient Program with C?
* Develop a queue with 2 stack, explain the logic.
* What is deadlock, questions were asked from all parts of OS, NO questions from UNIX OR LINUX.
70 questions were there in the apti test. 30 from arithmetic 20 from English 20 from reasoning Time: 70 mins
First Paper (Numerical)
q1: 54 boys ate Biscuits and 65 boys ate Cake. 7 boys ate biscuit,cake and pastry. 14 boys ate cake and pastry only. 20 boys ate biscuit and cake only. 15 boys ate biscuit and pastry only. total no of boys are 224….(datas are not right….its a very easy sum to do) (now 5 qstins are there with that problem)
i) no of boys ate only pastry?

now if it is painted…32 cubes will be pained in 3 faces and 8 cubes will be painted in 6 faces…so the answers are…
i) 0
ii)0
iii) 0
iv)32
v) 8
q3: (thre is a qstion of coding…like if * is 0 and $ is 1..and bla bla bla….u can find this ype of qstin in Agarwal…this qstin also has 5 individual qstins like above)
solution hint: solve these qstins in binary method
sorry frnds i cant remmember the other qstins….
Second Part (English)
This part was really hard.. specially the passages are really tough…there are two passages…
TIPS:- read the passage once with full concentrtin.. u dnt have to under stnd the whole meaning.. just read it.. if u read it i’m assuring u…u can answer it…
because qstions are based on the lines of the passage… if u read each lines atleast once u can answer… dnt leave the passage as well as hope if u cant understand it… There are qstins like find the correct statement. find the wrong sentence. these are really easy.. go through the grammars…dats it.
