CTS PAPER ON 20th JUNE
6 - 7 colleges(don't remember) participated in this campus interview. CTS
has a unique practice of calling the first few toppers for direct interview.
However, since many colleges participated, CTS announced that 6 toppers from
each dept. in SathyaBhama and 2 toppers from each dept. in Jeppiar and
Panimalar Colleges can appear for direct interview. Anyway, I was not
eligible for direct interview.

staged on the day following the day on which F is staged. D must be staged
on Friday only and should not be immediately preceded by B. E must not be
staged on the last day of the schedule. (The same problem from Agarwal was
asked only with the words changed. First find the order of the six plays
from Mon to Sat and then answer the questions).

questions. refer agarwal quantitative apt. for formula)

INTERVIEW:
--------goodmorning sir
goodmorning, take your seat.
family background(told)
about my hometown (he asked the expansion of my town. I was able to answer
it only half)
speciality about my hometown(told)

what is the difference between router and switch(told although I didn't
mention networks as my area of interest).
(gave a paper)draw the OSI layers(wrote the 7 layers)
what's the difference between hub and switch?(after thinking a while, I told
'I don't know')
asked about my project and paper presentations. (told 'I haven't done any'
he was disappointed and asked why. I didn't answer. he told, ' you must go
beyond your academics')
Do you watch movies?(told 'No')
Why?(told 'not interested')
You live in a remote place and cts being in the city(Navallur), how will you
come?
---- in bus
but that will take long - nearly 3 hrs.
-----that's not a problem, sir
the next 3 questions were on my travel itself
I clearly told him, ' I have no problem with bus travel. In fact I like
journey especially in bus'
why did you choose this college?
----top in the ranklist & well known for discipline
how can you use your ece in cts?
-----first 2 years, i would work as a trainee and then shift to the track of
telecommunication(one of the verticals in cts is telecommunication- I
answered like this because I thought I should be specific in my future
career)
what if you're not given this track by the company?
--------but sir, in the preplacement talk, it was assured that the track
that we wish will be provided
ok, but still if you're not given?
----(as he insisted i told) i can take any other track as i can cope up with
any subject.
do you have any questions?
-----yes sir, what is that you like and you don't like the most in your
trainees?
I don't like static mind--for eg; in your case you told you would go to
telecommunication. you should not restrict yourself to that. as
opportunities from various directions, try to grab it. ----nodded my head
with a smile(i later thought I will be rejected by this answer )
I like fresh mind--people asking questions. I am also a trainer. I need to
teach my trainees right from switching on a computer. but after 2 years they
sit along with me to do project. and that's really a great honour to me.
-------thank you sir
thank you
some were asked only about the family background and some were asked only
technical questions from each subject of the six semesters including
environmental science, ethics, control systems,......no use of mentioning
areas of interest. try to brush up all the basic concepts.
i got selected. if God wants you to keep you in cts to glorify Him, you'll
be placed even if you don't answer well. otherwise you'll be placed
somewhere else where you can shine (more) well for Him! so don't worry at
all ! keep trying! only failure to try is failure and failing itself is not
a failure!
All The Best!!!!!! |
