CTS Placement Papers



CTS PAPER ON 21st MARCH 2008
Hi! This is Akshay Hangarge (3rd year electrical) student from Walchand college of engineering,sangli placed in the world's fastest growing company COGNIZANT.I am very glad to be a part of CTS family.With no waste of time let's discuss the selection procedure .
Total attended = 320
Cleared Aptitude = 112
Selected = 50
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 quiet tough section. Just make guesses. Mark option B or C.Always read passage at last.Read questions first.
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
Questions on Blood relations(quite difficult)
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
Questions like :if a dice is thrown 2 on top,3&5 at left &right,in another turn 5 on top,3&4 at left&right and one another condition(dont remember exactly)
21-25 What is opposite to 5?.....
NON VERBAL SECTION (20 questions-20 min)
(1-4) syllogism (study all rules in the aggarwal book but TIME book will help u a lot)
(Eg) All mosquitoes’ are lizards.
All lizards are insects.
(Ans: all mosquitoes’ are insects)
(5-6) logical deduction (study all rules from TIME book)
(7-15) figure sequence and odd one out from figures (very easy)(just go through R S Agarwal)

CTS Placement Paper



Total attended = 1,333
Cleared Written = 238
Selected = 28(15 boys 13 girls)
It was a shock that they selected only 28 from 1,333 and I’m really happy tat I am one among that few.
Two Rounds:
1.Written test.
2.Interview. (Tech n HR)
The Merit Track conducted the test. It was organized perfectly and they expect discipline from us.. Before the test u have to fill a form. Do it carefully because some of my friends got questions 4m tat.
1.Software Orientation:
2.Hobbies and extra-curricular activities
3.Strengths and Weakness
4.Expectation from CTS
5.Why CTS
6. Long term and short-term goal with CTS
7.What are the qualities necessary for software professional to be successful
WRITTEN TEST (3 sections) NO –VE MARKING
1.Analytical Ability (25 Q, 30 Minutes)
Venn diagram questions
Data sufficiency
coding 1 represented as $ and 0 as *(easy.. jus convert it into Binary)
Cubes related questions are very important
My suggestion is do Coding First. Then Venn dig. Cube problem n others..u can surely score full marks fm coding n venn dig…cube is also easy when u understand it.For cube take the cubic root of the no of pieces.64 means 4(keep as x value)..then 2 side painted means 12*(x-2).1side painted means 6*(x-2) 2 . (horizontal n vertical) like wise u must think n apply according to the question..
1.venn dig- people hving dif heights 6feet ,6’6 feet, 5’5 feet.and questions like no of people who is 6 feet.no of people who is 5’5feet…..
2.In codin there will be only normal arithmetic operations n L.c.m..i don remember them.
For ex..64/4= 16 = $****.first solve it n convert it to binary..
3.Cube- a cube of 12 cm is cut into small 3cm pieces..then place another 4 small cubes over it..and another 2 small cubes over the 4cubes..then again one more cube over the 2 cube…the cube is then painted from top to bottom
12/3=4…so 4row 4column…draw a dig of cube first. Imagining the cube only help u to solve rather than formulas. How many cubes r painted on only one side?
how many cubes r painted on only 2 sides?
how many cubes r painted on only 3 sides?
how many cubes r painted on only 4 sides?
how many cubes r painted 0 sides?
(my friends told me tat cube problems hav more marks than other questions)
2.Verbal Ability (20 Q, 20 Min)
Comprehension
Find out the incorrect sentence
Find out the correct sentence
Jumbled Passages
-Don prepare any thing for this ..It won help u..Jumbled sent n correct incorrect sent are a little confusing..it depends on ur grammer n English language skills. do the comprehension last(it is a very big passage..i didn’t even read it ,jus ticked..no time)
3.Attention Details (20 Q, 20 Min)
Find the odd man out
Analogy of figures (Simple)
syllogism
Puzzle
Very easy compared to other sections..any one can crack it with out any preparation..If u think to prepare jus go through puzzle test n syllogism from R.S.Agarwal Verbal reasoning
Analogy of figures –Non verbal Reasoning
