CTS INTERVIEW - 09 APR 2006 - COIMBATORE
Hai , I am sreenivasan
Let me tell u abt the Tech and HR.
mine was the first batch at 9.00am on 9th april. i was there by 7.45 am, time management is very important coz they set aside all the people wjo came late, may be they gave chance at last. there were all together 4 batches 9.00, 10.00, 11.00 and 1.00.
they started calling people(330 total) at 9.15 am. A lady came and anounced that there is TECH and HR rounds and if we feel that u have done enough in Tech the person in the panel will say u directly to check ur results and in case if we feel that we need to take u to HR then u will be sent to HR.
the condition here is if u dont go for HR that means u dont find ur name in the results, TECH round was also elimination round, and HR was selection round. there were all together 21 panels 18 TECH and 3 HR. nobody knows that u do have HR panels until u clear TECH.
The candidates who cleared TECH were taken to a seperate place to sit and then sent for HR only 66 were selected out of 330. i am one of them.
mine was panel 11. There was only one person his site makes u feel comfortable and says that he is very friendly and has a lot of experience in IT sector.
ME: Good morning sir and i gave him a firm handshake.
TECH: Sreenivasan feeling Nervous,
ME: NO sir
TECH:ok srenivasan tell abt ur self
ME: i told him abt me and said that i am very mch comfortable with programming and presently working as a part time faculty for C and core java(its true i am still working from last feb 2005). i could see his eyes he was intrested in me.
TECH: why should i hire u, i mean how u r different from others
ME: i told all my positive strengths
TECH: He gave me 10 elements and asked me to search an element using binary search.
ME: i was waiting for C based questions and answere him very clearly. and said we can use recrusion for best performance.(he asked me then i said that)
TECH: what datastructure does recrusion use.
ME: i could not get him, he helped me with some examples i said STACK, before it gores for the call, it would push tha status into a stack sir,
TECH: ok tell me the output of this
while(i=10)
{
printf("i=%d",i);
i++;
}
printf("the value of i=%d",i);
ME: infinite loop sir, coz as i is assigned a value 10 that statement would be true so it would never beak coaz its always true. he said ok
TECH: ok srinivasan give me ur certificates he asked me semister wise marks sheets( and they r perticular that the catdidate should have no more that 2 arriers)
I gave him

the voilenter went in and took me to a place where all tech round clered were sitting, i was very HAPPY, there wr around 15 with me,they they took me to HR after 20 min's.
the HR was very cool and was asking me whether i will be willing to relocate anywhere. i said that i am a global man and i am ready to go anywhere. initially he was not intrested in me he took my certificates and checked them many times, i was a bit nervous coz mostly he was keeping calm almost for abt 10 min i was just sitting numb, i between telling him abt the university and semisters i have got(we have 1 year and 7 semisters)
he asked abt my family and abt my life's aim

he was happy and said if u get selected and if ur posting is at coimbatore u will have to work in shifts i said no problem, He was happy and forwarded his hand and aked me to check my results on 12 tha april at 8.00pm i said thank u sir with a big smile and i was confident that i have cracked CTS but after that failure in HR at satyam i was a bit nervous
BUT now i have really very happy.
