Caritor pattern, GD and interview experience

Question paper pattern: by MITHUN

Total time was 60min. Two different question papers will be given and one
white paper to work out the answers.
The answering sheet is of multiple choice type where we've to put a "X" mark
on correct choice.College ID was a must and those who forgot bring theirs
were
mercilessly sent out, inspite of having other proof like marks card
along with drivers license etc.,

NO -ve marks. Paper-2 was given about 15 min. after we started answering
paper-1. We can switch between papers.

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.
