Hello Friends,
This is DHIVYA recently i attended the cts aptitude test on 30 jan '11. At the beginning they give a paper called "DATA SHEET" in which u have to fill all details like NAME ; PERSONAL INFORMATION ; ACADEMIC DETAILS ; STRENGTH WEAKNESS ; SOFTWARE PROFESIONAL ; SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM PLAN ; EXPECTATIONS FROM CTS . They just give only 10-15 min to fill all these details suddenly without telling the time duration they ask us to start writing the exm so be careful we have to write as fast as we can... after completing the exm we can write these fill up form... as i got 10 min time after completing my exm so i used my time by writing fill up form.
Paper was easy it contains the following pattern.
* Analytical Section (30 questions, 30 minutes)
Q(1) : Choose the different figure
Q(2-3) : Logic
Q(4-5) : Logic
Q(6-7) : Logic
Q(8-9) : Logic
Q(10-13) : Puzzle
Q(14-17) : Encoding & Decoding
Q(18-21) : Figure Sequence
Q(22-24) : Choose the similar figure
Q(25-28) : Data Intrepretation
Q(29-30) : Logic
* Verbal Section (25 questions, 20 minutes) (15) , (10)
Q(31-32) : Identify correct sentence
Q(33-37) : Reading Comprehension I
Q(37-42) : Reading Comprehension II
Q(43) : Identify the correct sentence
Q(44-46) : Identify the incorrect sentence
Q(47-51) : Sentence re-arrangement
Q(52) : Identify the correct sentence
Q(53-55) : Identify the incorrect sentence
This blue print is the same as how they asked in exam... And i would like to give some tips regarding the exam... first to attend encoding and decoding ; figure sequence ; similar figure ; logical deductions and connectives ;correct incorrect sentence and then to passage finally end the exm with interpretation... as bcoz interpretation questions are very tough and we could not able to solve as the calculations to be done are more.. so what i suggest u to attend it at last... This is the way i followed in my exam where i saved 10 min time...
Books: R.S.AGGARWAL (VERBAL AND NON VERBAL)
TIME BOOK For LOGICAL CONNECTIVES
These two books are more than enough to study for clearing the exam.

To my surprise there was GD round... All batch consists of 10 members... My HR was very Cool ... He gave comfort by talking in general and he also told that its enough of talking atleast one line but to talk bravely and loudly this was his criteria for selecting candidates but other HR insisted on GRAMMATICAL USAGE it completely depends upon each HR ... and to our surprise again he asked us as each and every person can talk their own topic... And we all got cleared in our Batch.
