SATYAM PAPER ON 9th MARCH AT TAMILNADU
Hi Friends, I am Padmakumar...
The entire Satyam process consists of 3 Rounds and for us the interview went on for 3 days...
1st Round - Aptitude
2nd Round - G.D.
3rd Round - H.R interview
1st Day - Aptitude:
For the Aptitude round R.S. Agarwal is sufficient... If u r thorough with the important headings like Time & Distance, Time & Work, Number series, % problems, Date & Calender etc... is sufficient... Also be prepared to solve the triangle problem for which u can see the papers submitted by other candidates... Also prepare comprehension type questions... If u r Thorough with Agarwal u can easily solve 5 to 6 problems and with ur common sense u can solve 3 to 4 problems... So with these u can easily clear the 1st Round...
2nd Day - G.D.:
First of all don't afraid as the round is G.D... Because generally G.D. is an important elimination round where a person can be easily eliminated and more persons are eliminated in this round... We were split in to a group of 10... only 2 to 3 were selected from a group based on the performance... Be thorough with current affairs and some general topics... Some topics which were given for us were... 1. Love marriage and Arranged marriage... Which is best?
2. colas were banned... Is is correct or wrong?
3. Ragging is banned... Is is correct or wrong?
4. Is G.D required for an interview? etc.. etc..
Try to be initiative in the G.D which fetch u more mark... If u were unable to be initiative don loose confidence because the time given is 10min and u can easily find a opportunity for u... Most of them in your group will have controversy over other's view... In that situation don quarrel with them... It will fetch u negative mark... Instead try to coordinate others and bring them in a group... Be louder and clear in our views... Let everyone express their views... Don object with others opinion... Listen to what others speak... If possible make a hint of what others say... It will be very useful when u r asked to give the conclusion...
3rd Day - H.R.:
This is an easy round where our communication skill and self-confidence plays a important role... Look at the interviewer's eyes while speaking... Have a positive body language... Some important things they see in an H.R. were our communication skill, Basic Knowledge, Body language and our confidence... So Be prepared with some questions like,
1. Introduce ourself...
2. Why u choose software industry...
3. What r the skills u posses as u want to enter software...
4. What will be our contribution to satyam if i select u...
5. Strengths and weakness...
6. About our family background...
7. Why Satyam....
8. Where u see ourself after 5 years...
9. Be prepared for some questions from c, c++, Java if u r from circuit branch(ece, eee, cse, IT,etc)...
10. Do u want to ask any questions from Satyam...
In our batch nearly 4500 attended and 748 were shortlisted for G.D. and from 750 nearly 220 were shortlisted for H.R... And from 220 around
140 got selected. I'm not sure with the figures...
Don loose our confidence at any stage... Keep on practicing for all the session... If u work hard satyam is ours...
