This is my 12th company and I am finally placed after a long journey of taking many companies, SO patience is necessary and try to motivate ur self when u fail. Be confident and don’t loose hope think that its NOW OR NEVER while attending, believe strongly in yourself, do mirror exercise at least once in 2 days and try to make your self comfortable by coming to the spot before time.

I attended satyam off campus in my college on 9th Feb. Total 1650 attended and 650 got through written and 135 for HR and 63 were finally placed. I used to read all the experiences of others and now it’s my turn to express.

Day 1: 9th Feb 07.1650 attended for test in two groups and 650 got through Written test is very easy and cutoff is less 4.

That’s all I remember of written please excuse for other Qs So after waiting for 3hrs results were out 650 cleared. They divided into 65 batches of 10 basing on the alphabetical order of their names. Luckily I had GD on next day so prepared well before day some of my friends had on first day.

Day 2: 10th Feb 07.For remaining students they conducted GD’S and totally they took 90+45=135.

GD: My topic is “CAPITAL PUNISHMENT”

I MADE THE INITIATIVE AND supported the topic and a strong opposition from another girl but not aggressive went cool Before starting my moderator gave us two minutes to make points but that is not the case in case of other HR so please be prepared. Other topics include 1.SOLUTION TO TERRORISM IN INDIA.2.ROLE OF YOUTH IN REDUCING CORRUPTION.3.ILLETERACY AND UNEMPLOYMENT GO HAND IN HAND.4.EDUCATION NECESSARY TO ENTER POLITICS.5.BRAIN DRAIN GOOD FOR INDIA6.PRINTING MEDIA VS ELECTRONIC MEDIA.7.IS US A FRIEND OR FOE TO INDIA.8.ARE WOMEN BETTER EMPLOYEES.9.SPORTS PERSONS ARE THEY ON AN ENDORSEMENT SPREE?10.KBC MONEY MAKING OR MONEY GAINING?

That’s all about GD’S and the filtration is more on second day and from my group only two were selected. There are some batches where not even one has been selected so please be sure about the points and the batch should not be AGRRESSIVE AT ANY COST. SO 135 went for HR, after filling form of satyam, I had my slot at 3:30pm. Around 8 persons were waiting before my HR panel so it took around an hour to get my chance means TEST FOR PATIENCE.

SATYAM PAPER ON 23rd DECEMBER AT VISAKHAPATNAM

This is the Satyam pattern which I faced at Kala bharati, Visakhapatnam.I am from St. Theressa institute of engg & Tech, Vijayanagaram.

Written test: 15-questions. 1-mark for right answer,1/4 minus for every wrong answer.

Page 44: Satyam Test Papers

I am attempted 9 questions In that 7 are correct (exact) remaining two ….I solved my best Remember negative marking will be there, don't try to guess the answers. First choose the questions which are easy and not lengthy. many question were very easy but only thing is they will try to confuse you . Most of the questions were from "Quantitative Aptitude” by R.S AGGARWAL" Topics from which i got questions

1. series completion, 2. Data Interpetation 3. Compound interest 4.  Trains & speed 5.  work and Time 6.  Averages 7.  Clocks……Angle between hour hand and minutes hand ……. 8.  Volumes 9.  Percentages 10. problem on Ages 11. Reasoning question

That what I remember My personal suggestion is attempt 9-10 questions only and make sure that all are correct and you can clear written if >6 are correct I am cleared Written My GD topic “Rural development” The main elimination round of the SATYAM .My group contains 10 members. For my batch HR asked us to suggest us the topic and 10 suggested 10 topics out of which HR choose the topic and it was “Rural development” We were given two minute time to note down the points. But one member started at that time only.(we r all discussed before only ….not to quarrel) Discussion was very nice. The discussion went on for 10 - 15 minutes. TIPS for GD: 1. If possible try to start first, if not no problem but try to speak not keep mum. 2. Be fixed to your attitude, it is if the opposite person argues strongly don't leave your topic go towards others. 3. It's a discussion don't make it as DEBATE ,be cool. Don't jump on others. They test your patience too when you are at heavy argument. Patience doesn't mean silence but talk smoothly, try to convince your offenders. (Best way is say “yes” and say your way is best one) 4. Always have a smiling face that will carry you towards the success(IN HR ALSO). 5. Finally don't forget to conclude the discussion highlighting your strong points. 6. Do a small work to know the names of GD members(when division of GD groups ….make friends of ur group members) and call them by NAMES in discussion rather than calling friend and so ….(IT HELPS U ….A LOT) 7. Don’t see the observer seating besides you. 8. Write the points which are discussed in the G.D tell all of them when Observer asks to give conclusion 9. At the starting you should wish all the members and introduce urself and explain ur

Page 45: Satyam Test Papers

points 10. Your eye contact never be diverted from your team members and especially speaking person. 11.My personal suggestion is speak louder 12.Don't point out anyone with fingure. 11. Use these phrases as many as u can………depend on the discussion ** “Friends ….Let’s us give equal opportunity to all” ** “I will say one point” Take an advantage of shy person to share his views…… saying ** “Friend! You can also share ur views” its adds points to both of them (if he/she speaks) If any person telling his views without listening others or without giving chance to others than use can stop him simple saying ** “please give chance to other people also” As our discussion went well, as result 6 members selected in my group but in some groups who created bad atmosphere ……only 1 or 2 selected “SPEAK CONFIDENTLY AND FLUENTLY THAT WHAT IS MATTERS MOST” I'm stressing more on GD because this is main elimination methods if u clear GD u r almost 85% selected.If u follow above TIPS u r surely clear ur GD(HOPE THE BEST)   Last round is technical cum HR interview It’s easy you can just walk-in …..Whatever u put in ur resume (HR FORM) from that only question arise ……………so careful in preparing resume and SPEAK CONFIDENTLY My advice is don’t lose hope because there will be a winning day to you…. This is my 32 interview that means you can guess my long journey in hunting job…….So Hope the best and try for best I am very much thankful to my parents, brothers and friends especially HARI KRISHNA for giving support and encouraged me in my odd days because of whom I have finally succeeded……… Thanks god for adding these good flavors in my life……….. Friends!! Tomorrow is yours U r born to WIN ………U will suceed .......waiting for your success
