Hi Friends

I attended Satyam campus interview held by SHREDS organisation, Kerala

No.of students attended: 45000
No.of students got through written: 800
No.of students selected for Satyam: 417

The recruitment process are of 2 stages
1. Written

In written test the questions are 15 and duration is 30 min. the aptitude questions are easier than logical reasoning.

Topics

2.time & work (2 ques)
3.c programming (1 ques)
4.Series (1 ques)
5.simple interest & compound interest (1 ques)
6.profit & loss (1ques)
7.percentage (1ques)
8.paragraph conclusions (3 ques)
9 Data sufficiency (1ques)
10 logical reasoning (3 ques)

There is 1/4th negative marking in written test. It doesn\'t have sectional cutoff but it have both lower cutoff. And higher cutoff, so we should concentrate on these cutoff. In my point of view the best cutoff is 6-10. it may varies with different papers.
