Candidate-Experiences

Hi Guys,
My name is RP Vikram, i'm from SBIT, Khammam.
I'm a CSE student. I had attended CTS Off-Campus written test on 25th September at MLRIT, Hyderabad. The test was conducted 2 days(25th and 26th, mine was on 25th).
 
It was an online test. 55 questions and 50 mins. No negative marking. It was conducted by Merit track ppl. Everyone will get a different paper. The test consisted of 2 parts. Analytical and logical, once you jump from one section to another you cannot come back to previous one( you can jump between questions in the same section though).

Time management is very important.
Before the test you have to fill in a form like S/W orientation, long term goals etc as said by others
in the website(that too online only).

I will tell you the type of questions asked.
 
Part 1(Analytical)30 questions:
 
* A pie diagram with data is given and questions will be asked on that(Bit difficult)
* Syllogisms(1st only one conclusion is given and 2 statements are given choose the statement).
* Completing the figures, next figure in the series.
* Data sufficiency qustions.
* Coding and decoding.
* Finding conclusion for a statement.
(No cube question in off-campus)

Part 2(Verbal) 25 questions:
 
* Two very very long passages and 10 to 12 questions from it. I didn't have time so did it randomly.(do passages at last).
* Finding the correct and incorrect sentences.
* Finding the incorrrect part in a sentence.
As i said time management is very important. Don't go for questions you dont know, try
them out at last.

Just concentrate on the exam because some people will come many a times to the exam hall and annouce something, they try to kill your time. Don't concentrate on them, just be with your exam.

I cleared the test, had interview on 7th Oct, 2010 at 2.30 pm in CTS company, Hyderabad.
