Hi Friends

This is Sivarama (MCA) from Mahaveer Institute of Science & Technology. Recently i was selected for Satyam Computer Services. conducted in Mallreddy Engineering College. I am interested in sharing my experience with u all. We where called for written test on feb 7 2008. Total of 1900 members wrote the aptitude test.

Apptitude test was for 15 marks & 30 minutes duration. topics covered in the test r
Reasoning (6 marks)
Permutations (1 mark)
Data sufficiency (1 mark)
Arithmetic (7 marks)

Reasoning questions were too lenthy to solve. They selected 301 students for the next round & round was on the next day.

This round was combination of HR & Technical round.
Before attending the interview they conducted essay writing and my topic is: WHY DO U WANT TO JOIN IN SATYAM. 

HR & TECH INTERVIEW:
I enterd the room with permission. May i come in Sir, Yes come in. I wished the interviewer Good after noon. Questions asked by interviewer are:
1. About ur self.
2. Told me to tell what i wrote in Essay Writing.
3. Asked questions on C language
what is a pointer and why it is used.
commands in C
4. Questions on C++ : All OOPs concecpts.
5.Next, List out all ur subjects in 4 semesters.
List all subjects in Accountancy.
What is Software Engineering and why it is used.
Explain Human Computer Interaction (this is a subject in our 4th sem)
6. Draw a flow chart for displaying Largest of 3 numbers.     

Friends this my experience. But dont think every student will be asked only tech questions in interview. For many students including our 3 friends were asked about
1. on Politics
2. Questions on Operational Reasearch and Management Information systems.
3. on inter Physics, Mathematics.
4. On DBMS.

So, be prepared for any general topic.
