You can expect technical questions from various subjects like sql,microprocessors,algorithms

and their complexities etc during CTS interviews. Below are few sample questions (easy) for
your practice.

Interview Question 1

Can u tell a simple difference between candidate keys and primary key ?

Answer 1

Both candidate and primary keys uniquely identify a row in a table. However, only one can be
chosen as primary key, while there can be many candidate keys.

Interview Question 2

Is semicolon mandatory at the end of a block statement in C ?

Answer 2

No, semicolon is not essential at the end of a block statement. For example, consider a statement
of the form if(x==5){...some statements...}
In the above statement, there is no need for semicolon after the closing '}'.

Interview Question 3

Consider there are two programs written respectively using two algorithms A and B. Say A has a
complexity of n^2 and the other has a complexity of n/2. Given the same number of inputs which
would take longer time to run.

Answer 3

First program written using algorithm A will take longer time. Higher the order of complexity,
longer the time taken for execution.

Interview Question 4

How microcontroller is different from microprocessor with respect to hardware and memory
requirements ?

Answer 4

Microcontroller, unlike microprocessor, is self contained with necessary hardware like I/O,
memory etc embedded to it.
