CARITOR PATTERN - 18 SEP 2005 - HYDERABAD

CARITOR PATTERN - 18 SEP 2005 - HYDERABAD

I am a student as of now we had been called for the off campus selection held by Caritor
India Pvt Limited. When we reached there we were shocked to see the number of colleges
invited i mean the interview was held at Andhra Pradesh level.

we had an aptitude comprising of two pprs-one, aptitude, comprising of stuff from r.s
aggarwal and tyra and the second paper was technical C questions each section had 30
questions and there wasnt any negative marking but then we were given only 1 min per
question. After half an hour the first question sheet was taken away and then the technical
was given.

The aptitude wasnt bad..but was time consuming.so guys aspiring for caritor pls do work on
ur time management. The c questions were relatively easy.mostly stuff from yeshwant
kanitkar, so do ur c well!!

I was not expecting , so was chill..they said they wud announce the results at the end of the
day and tht too on the net i wasnt expecting so was kinda bindaas but to my surprise i was
shortlisted from about 3000 students. about 250 ppl frm various disciplines were selected

we were called for the GD and interview the next day..

the topics were general and were related to the current affairs-topics like cellphone ban in
colleges, petroleum products being subsidised, china threat to india, foreign coaches for sports
(tht was my topic)

well the success mantra to this was be cool, confident and crisp. keep smiling ,dont be
nervous and be a very good listener. i cleared my GD and was then asked to wait for my
technical round

I was called by the hr interviewer who was pretty friendly and cool. He dint make us feel
nervous, made us feel very comfortable as I was from IT background me and two others were
drilled on subjects ranging from algorithms, data structures, networks, operating systems,
microprocessors, databases and general HR.

The guy was looking if we knew the concepts and wasnt very particular abt the code of the
programs being asked. The ECE background people were asked abt microprocessors and
transducers and stuff. They were looking for people with a strong concept and for people who
get things right in the first attempt. That was their criteria from day1
 They invited people with minimum 65% and who had cleared all their subjects in the first
attempts! some how for the technical, b sure that if u r sure of the answer then do say,but
then if u dont its better to remain silent than to fumble!!

being cool and confident helped me..they said us to assemble in the seminar hall!!!
when we went there to our surprise we had to give a written essay on "your career
aspirations-what do u want to achieve in your life" ,the word limit being 100 words. they were
very specific about what they wanted.

we were then made to wait for the results to be announced..

and luckily I was selected amongst a group of 100+ students

they short listed only 31 students, we were given a presentation then on what caritor is as an
institute and about the organisation.

the non-IT students were to take up testing and the IT guys had to join as programmers they
gave u a years time to think over and the offers they offered were pretty good

all in all they say "ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL"

hope my experience does help ..

Paper-1:
Quantitative aptitude: 30 questions.All simple stuff direct from R. S. Aggarwal Questions were on ratio and
proportions, family
relationship, bankers discount, areas and volumes,pipes and cisterns, complete the number series.
Paper-2:
Logical reasoning: 15 questions. Few questions on data sufficiency, ref. the verbal and non-verbal reasoning by R. S.
Aggarwal. and remaining on assertion and reasoning type.

I got some 20 correct in paper-1 and some 5-7 correct in paper-2. I was called for the GD that afternoon itself. Some 30
odd were shortlisted for GD. The topic of GD was hardwork and sincerity.A group was 8-9 people was made and were
allowed to talk while others had to wait in
other room.I said hardwork and sincerity go hand-in-hand and both are important, while some argued that hardwork
alone or sincerity alone is
sufficient. In GD the most silent people were selected!!!!!!!!. I was then
shortlisted for interview the next day in Bangalore in Caritor office.

the panel had the HR lady and a techie guy.The guy asked me why I wanted to shift to IT while I am a Mech., grad. I
said growth potential, money, air-conditioned office........

The guy then asked questions regarding microprocessor

and other electronics stuff.
I said I am a mech., guy I don't know Microproc.
You can ask C prog., or any question based on mech.

The guy kept on asking stuff from electronics and other hardcore comp sc. stuff. I gave up. I answered all questions
with a big "I DON'T KNOW". Walked out.

By looking at their faces and their attitude I could make out that they didn't want to
hire guys from non-IT branch. The interview and all was just an eye-wash.So, non-IT
guys consider this seriously before attending Caritor test.Finally about 10 people
from EE and CS branch were selected.

olumes,pipes and cisterns, complete the number

series.
