I attended satyam off campus in my college on 9th Feb. Total 1650 attended and 650 got
through written and 135 for HR and 63 were finally placed. I used to read all the
experiences of others and now it’s my turn to express.

Day 1: 9th Feb 07.

That’s all I remember of written please excuse for other Qs So after waiting for 3hrs
results were out 650 cleared. They divided into 65 batches of 10 basing on the
alphabetical order of their names. Luckily I had GD on next day so prepared well before
day some of my friends had on first day.
Day 2: 10th Feb 07.
For remaining students they conducted GD’S and totally they took 90+45=135.

GD: My topic is “CAPITAL PUNISHMENT”

I MADE THE INITIATIVE AND supported the topic and a strong opposition from
another girl but not aggressive went cool Before starting my moderator gave us two
minutes to make points but that is not the case in case of other HR so please be prepared.
Other topics include
1.SOLUTION TO TERRORISM IN INDIA.
2.ROLE OF YOUTH IN REDUCING CORRUPTION.
3.ILLETERACY AND UNEMPLOYMENT GO HAND IN HAND.
4.EDUCATION NECESSARY TO ENTER POLITICS.

7.IS US A FRIEND OR FOE TO INDIA.
8.ARE WOMEN BETTER EMPLOYEES.
9.SPORTS PERSONS ARE THEY ON AN ENDORSEMENT SPREE?
10.KBC MONEY MAKING OR MONEY GAINING?

That’s all about GD’S and the filtration is more on second day and from my group only
two were selected. There are some batches where not even one has been selected so
please be sure about the points and the batch should not be AGRRESSIVE AT ANY
COST. SO 135 went for HR, after filling form of satyam, I had my slot at 3:30pm. Around
8 persons were waiting before my HR panel so it took around an hour to get my chance
means TEST FOR PATIENCE.

SATYAM PAPER ON 23rd DECEMBER AT VISAKHAPATNAM

This is the Satyam pattern which I faced at Kala bharati, Visakhapatnam.I am from St.
Theressa institute of engg & Tech, Vijayanagaram.

Written test: 15-questions.

1-mark for right answer,1/4 minus for every wrong answer.
I am attempted 9 questions In that 7 are correct (exact) remaining two ….I solved my
best
Remember negative marking will be there, don't try to guess the answers. First choose the
questions which are easy and not lengthy. many question were very easy but only thing is
they will try to confuse you .
Most of the questions were from "Quantitative Aptitude” by R.S AGGARWAL"
Topics from which i got questions
1. series completion,
2. Data Interpetation
3. Compound interest
 4. Trains & speed
5. work and Time
6. Averages
7. Clocks……Angle between hour hand and minutes hand …….
8. Volumes
9. Percentages
10. problem on Ages
11. Reasoning question
That what I remember
My personal suggestion is attempt 9-10 questions only and make sure that all are correct
and you can clear written if >6 are correct
I am cleared Written
My GD topic “Rural development”
The main elimination round of the SATYAM .My group contains 10 members. For my
batch HR asked us to suggest us the topic and 10 suggested 10 topics out of which HR
choose the topic and it was “Rural development” We were given two minute time to note
down the points.
But one member started at that time only.(we r all discussed before only ….not to
quarrel) Discussion was very nice. The discussion went on for 10 - 15 minutes.
TIPS for GD:
1. If possible try to start first, if not no problem but try to speak not keep mum.
2. Be fixed to your attitude, it is if the opposite person argues strongly don't leave your
topic go towards others.
3. It's a discussion don't make it as DEBATE ,be cool. Don't jump on others. They test
your patience too when you are at heavy argument. Patience doesn't mean silence but talk
smoothly, try to convince your offenders. (Best way is say “yes” and say your way is best
one)
4. Always have a smiling face that will carry you towards the success(IN HR ALSO).
5. Finally don't forget to conclude the discussion highlighting your strong points.
6. Do a small work to know the names of GD members(when division of GD groups ….
make friends of ur group members) and call them by NAMES in discussion rather than
calling friend and so ….(IT HELPS U ….A LOT)
7. Don’t see the observer seating besides you.
8. Write the points which are discussed in the G.D tell all of them when Observer asks to
give conclusion
9. At the starting you should wish all the members and introduce urself and explain ur
points
10. Your eye contact never be diverted from your team members and especially speaking
person.
11.My personal suggestion is speak louder
12.Don't point out anyone with fingure.
11. Use these phrases as many as u can………depend on the discussion
** “Friends ….Let’s us give equal opportunity to all”
** “I will say one point”
Take an advantage of shy person to share his views…… saying ** “Friend! You
can also share ur views” its adds points to both of them (if he/she speaks)
If any person telling his views without listening others or without giving chance to others
than use can stop him simple saying ** “please give chance to other people also”
As our discussion went well, as result 6 members selected in my group but in some
groups who created bad atmosphere ……only 1 or 2 selected
“SPEAK CONFIDENTLY AND FLUENTLY THAT WHAT IS MATTERS MOST”
I'm stressing more on GD because this is main elimination methods if u clear GD u r
almost 85% selected.If u follow above TIPS u r surely clear ur GD(HOPE THE BEST)

Last round is technical cum HR interview

It’s easy you can just walk-in …..Whatever u put in ur resume (HR FORM)
from that only question arise ……………so careful in preparing resume and SPEAK
CONFIDENTLY My advice is don’t lose hope because there will be a winning day to
you…. This is my 32 interview that means you can guess my long journey in hunting
job…….So Hope the best and try for best
I am very much thankful to my parents, brothers and friends especially HARI KRISHNA
for giving support and encouraged me in my odd days because of whom I have finally
succeeded……… Thanks god for adding these good flavors in my life……….. Friends!!
Tomorrow is yours
U r born to WIN ………U will suceed .......waiting for your success
