SATYAM PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 21 JUN 2007

Hi Friends

This is Ananth Kiran.. we know the proverb "failure is the stepping stone of success".... I am frankly telling u this is exactly correct. I hav failed in 1)infosys written test.2) hr in convergys 3) perot in written test.4)  virtusa in written test but i got some experience in each company test. Finally I got selected in satyam... Friends success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

Test pattern : Written test 15 multiple choice q WITH -VE MARKING SO CAREFULLY WRITE ONLY KNOWN ANSWERS AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABT GUESSED ANSWERS. DON'T PUT ALL THE ANS EVEN U KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS BECOZ SATYAM DON'T WANT HIGHLY INTELLEGENT PEOPLE.

1)  SERIES (R.S. aggarwal is enough for aptitude)
2)  COMPOUND INTEREST
3)  RATIOS
4)  3 q FRM REASONING (VERY EASY)
5)  AGES AND MILK RATIO AND PROPORTION  PROBLES
6)  PROBABILITY .... i.e, ex: A through a die and after that B through die. if who got 5 on die that person will win. wat is the prob for  B wins ..(exactly this q only)

7)  Some table given and find the ratio of sums of two colomns in table..(dead easy)
b carefull with ratio coz don't b over confident while calculating ..If u get exact ans then only do it

8)  some qs given and most of them ans are "no of these" in my test. So if u r confident then only put tat option..

GD: This is elimination round and thy offered us to select our own topic. And we hav chosen "should youth enter into politics" (if get ths chance try to select topic regarding IT) my group is very good group and I initialized the topic. try to initiate the topic if u hav some content and tell the def of topic...my personal advise is go through "gd topics with answers" It ll help us a lot ..really ( LOUD UR VOICE)....

HR: tell me abt ur self (pl b confident loud ur voice and with smile)
Fav. Subject (I said STLD), my project and on my paper presentations .... these helped me a lot in technical .

Extraactivities: meditation & reading spiritual book.. he ll surely ask u q on that.
Be confident and loud ur voice and give smile. they will see how much u r confident. Not ur answers. Really.

If u hav project works and paper presentations b prepare for that. thy ll  ask u q on it only.

Thank you friends. I hape it will help u alleast 1% for ur success. It is really good company and offers 2.5L /anum.
