CTS PAPER ON 11th MARCH 2008
Hi, I m UmaSudha final year B.E C.S.E from P.R.Engineering
College.Thanjore.I m very happy to say tat I m selected in COGNIZANT
(Passion to make Difference) It was the Anna University OFF CAMPUS (TNSLPP)….
65 COLLEGES PARTICIPATED.
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)

from R.S.Agarwal Verbal reasoning
Analogy of figures –Non verbal Reasoning
