Placement Papers - Mahindra Satyam

Hi Friends

Dis is Roshan, an Satyamite. I had always had a dream of becoming a part of it n 2day my dream has some true due to God\'s blessings..

Here I m gonna share my experience with u.. It was an off campus held n CEB, BBSR....I was a bit nervous bt my confidence level was high 2 adjust dat... I had my written exm on 7th April 07 n near abt 1500 students had appeared da test...

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.

I cleared da written n da next round was GD. I was da group leader n gd as I inniated da gd....
My topic was "privatisation of public sector".. I Spoke n da favour of da topic n wth vry relevant points....everybody supported me so the hr finally asked me 4 da conclusion...n I gav n a grt way
The other gd topics were.......
Marriages r made n heaven....
Foreign or indian coach....
Shud mobiles b banned n da colleges....
Blue is blue.....

Then came the pi round. It comprised of tech n hr....
The hr who took my pi asked me 15 tech question n there was no hr question.....
One of the question was "how is the link between compilation n execution n output n wat is da memory allocation 4 it n how da operating system responds to it". I really had a tough pi bt I answered almost all question dam confidently n wt smile.........dat did really count....
Never gt nervous otherwise u may b discarded. They never expect perfect answers 4m rather they c how confident n eazy u r n answering.....
