SATYAM PAPER ON 18th JANUARY 2008

Hello friends, myself sriram pursuing my b_tech from CMR institute of technology
in ece branch. I am delighted to share my experience. We had satyam campus
recruitment at vardhaman coll of engg on 17th. This was my first attempt to any
interview. I was calm and confident. About 1500 student were going to take the
aptitude test. My first huddle was to clear the aptitude test.

Aptitude test:

It consisted of 15 questions (+1 for correct answer & - .25 for wrong) they are as
follows:

1) Logical question about the arrangement of cards.

2) Blood Relation.

3) Pyramids.

4) C program o/p.

5) Age (father & son ).

6) Logical application question.

7) Speed & Distance.

8) Probability.

9) Passage (3).

10) Time & work

11) Compound interest.

12) Analytical question.

If one is perfect with RS AGGARWAL he can easily get through aptitude. One thing
my friend don�t attempt more than 10 questions. I don�t know exactly but satyam
has an upper cutoff also. So try to keep it between7-10.

Essay writing:

About 350 students cleared the aptitude. We had a pre placement talk. After that
we were asked to fill up our �resume� & asked to write an essay. The topic given
to me was

�Role of media in our society�, I wrote both the positive and negative effect of
media.

Interview:

Interview was on 18th. Students were divided into two batch. I was in the morning
session. My turn came at 10:30 . I kept myself as cool as possible. I kept on
