Out of dat only 521 qualified 4 da GD n 4 da PI only 186 quallified..n finally 60 odd students were selected. I was one of them. A proud member of Satyam family...

Total selection procedure comprised of 3 parts....
1 # Logical cum aptitude test.
2 # Gd.
3 # Pi (hr n technical).

The written was alright n comprised of number triangle (must), SI, CI, trains, profit loss n discount, no. Series., .. There are 15 question n u r given 30 mins.....

I Wud lik 2 suggest u dat as there r lower n upper cut-off so never guess any ans. N answer the question n which u r dam confident.. Each correct ans is 1 mark n wrong ans n -.25 mark....
U attend 7-11 questions only..it ll b helpful..
Da lower cut off is generally 6 n upper cutoff is 11/10.
