Placement Papers - Mahindra Satyam

Hi Friends

I M SHAGUN, hope u must b desperate to get into diss coolest IT Giant.

Written test wsn\'t of same as it used to be. diss tym they gave ques AS USUAL from
1. calender problems
2. time distance
3. pipes
4. blood relations
5. probability
6. situation reaction
7. data interpretation

Aptitude test as u all know consisted of 15 q\'s.. 30 mins n plz be cautious ther is negative marking (1/4th marks).. my sincere suggestion is plz be careful..answer to q\'s which u know perfectly.. or else take it granted.. In aptitude ther were q\'s based on permutations, age, relations, compound interest, analytical reasoning,.. etc.. sorry don\'t remember al of them..

Next we were asked to fill to resume form which they provided after the pre-placemnt talk.. here plz be cautious the q\'s will be asked based on this resume only..for example if u have done a proj writ in the resume. the hr will ask u many q\'s based on this....n then v were given a topic n asked to write about 300 words...i wrote the essay in the best possible way

Paper was ok... Some ques were from time and distance, simple and compound interest reasoning ws prominent part of apptitude paper so do reasoning well from R.S.Agarwal only 7 out of 15 quat question ws there in appti so just go through R.S.Agarwal Quantative for it (examples only r enough) they r pretty easy if u had pass ur 1st & 2nd year math paper(B.Tech)

INTERVIEW (general interview)
interview will depend on interviewer n ofcourse your luck.. i had given my interview for 25 minutes. mostly H.R was there...

some imp. ques. related to your h.r are
1. ur intro (must be effective)
2. strength
3. weakness
4. family background
5. positine n negative attitude
6. why u want to join the company

remember in ur weakness u have to modify ur strength as weakness... dont ever tell that u r impatient or emotional or anything. just say like u work very hard which create prob. 2 u or anything else.. (this is the most imp part of ur interview)

In ur interview just remember that u have 2 show ur positive attitude everytime.. my interview was very good. he asked me my city name, my strength, my weekness n i told him everything wid confidence..

In technical he asked me many ques on MICROPROCESSOR....

then he asked.. Tell me what do u know bt JAVA. as i had done a project on java.. the interviewer was very impressed n he finished our conversation by saying.. THANKS

HE was impressed by the way i spoke to him \'THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ATTITUDE BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT "WE NEED ATTITUDE.. APTITUDE WE WILL PROVIDE U" AT LAST HE ASK ME IF U HAVE ANY QUES.....??????? I ASKED HIM THT WHY ONE SHOULD OPT FOR SATYAM???????? THIS REALLY GAVE ME AN EDGE... N THE RESULTS PROVED IT

I GOT SELECTED. I AM GRATEFUL TO MY PARENTS, MY TEACHERS N ALMIGHTY WITHOUT WHOSE BLESSINGS I WOULD NOT HAVE SUCCEEDED.
