Hi Friends

I got into CTS on July 2nd, thanks to wonderful people in this forum and their articles. I m very happy that I got into CTS even though I m from a non IT stream, I was very weak in APPTITUDE, but slowly developed the habit of practicing. Frens I jus have one advice for u plz try to work out the aptitude problems it's absolutely no use solving them in ur mind. As far as CTS is concerned they test Ur aptitude and technical and HR ROUNDS.

This was my experience I m gonna share with u..
