Caritor Placement Paper
Company: Caritor
I attended the off-campus of Caritor, held at NIE,
Mysore in the last week of august. Test was open for
all students of CS, EC, Mech, EE, IS and
Instrumentation. Cut-off was 65% in all semester, all
subjects must’ve been cleared in first attempt.
Question paper pattern:
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 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.
