I attended Satyam, as a volunteer on 14th April at  B.B.S. College of Engineering and Technology, Phaphamau Post-Gaddopur, Allahabad.

Satyam made its aptitude and logical test in  WRITTEN FORMAT and the following Changes were made. Total no. of questions were 15 total for 30 marks and test duration was of 30 min. Each question HAD EQUAL WEIGHTAGE OF MARKS i.e.,1

Aptitude questions were from R.S.Ararwal's aptitude book and questions were from areas, series compleation, time and work, problems on ages, compound interest, data interpretation, logical reasoning, time and distance, averages etc...

GROUP DISCUSSION
few very important points to remember
1 GD IS ALL ABOUT TEAM WORK, SO EVERY ONE SHOULD GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK. (THE MOST IMP. POINT)
2 ALWAYS TRY TO INITIATE A GD BUT ONLY IF U HAVE THE CONTENT.
3 AVOID ONE TO ONE DISCUSSION i.e MAINTAIN A GOOD EYE CONTACT.
4 DONT LOOK AT THE OBSERVER (satyam person) DURING THE GD.
5 IF FISH MARKET IS CREATED AND NO ONE IS LISTENING TO U SPEAK LOUDER AND TELL THEM

Tech & HR Interview
Then the arrival of interview session and was really hectic. the interview session involved technical interview as well as H.R interview with an average duration of 7 mins.

Finally the list of selected students were called out. The package received was of 2.47 lacks per annum. & was 2 lacks per annum during training with a bond agreement for two years.
