Hello friends....
Yesterday (3rd march) Cognizant came at our campus. and I am selected...yooo
 I wish to share my experience with u ...  coz some of these info (obtained from this freshersworld.com) helped me a lot..
There is no -ve marking in each se

Written Test of CTS comprises of three section
1. English (Verbal Section) [20MINS-25 QUESTIONS
# Find correct sentence (2Q) 4 options were given there...
# Two Comprehension Passage
Vry lengthy i didn’t get time to read the 2nd passage, 1st passage was on a comparative study of India and China in the field of GSM & cdma mobile service and landline phone facility.. thr was a lt of information.. thr was 4 statements like i),ii),iii),iv) and options were lkN a) i,iii  b) i,iv  c) iii d)ii,iii
soo u kno it was a bit tough to match 2 stms....
# Arranging the jumbled sentence (5 qts)
# Find out correct sentence( 2/3 qts)
First of all manage your time well and don’t neglect any of the sections. this is a vital section

2. Analytical section (30 min 25 qts)
# 3 qts on venn diagram [like 4 students kno hindi,math,eng; 6 knows Hindi & english ..  jus follow RS Agarwal] easy on

3. Logical section(20 qts
