Programmatically add an item to a custom content type in SharePoint 2010

I have a custom list named "Test" which has the following content types

1. Item
2. TestCT

I want to add an item to TestCT content type using SharePoint object model.

Code Snippet:


 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
 
namespace Console
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName:41491/sites/Vijai/"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {                    
                    SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Test");
                    if (list != null)
                    {
                        SPContentType ct = list.ContentTypes["TestCT"];
                        SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
                        item["Title"] = "newitem";
                        item["ContentTypeId"] = ct.Id;
                        item.Update();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
