There were many queries regarding satyam.I am giving u all the details.I applied thro many ID'sBut the main one is talent_search@satyam.com.There is no employee referral scheme.The resumes are selected based on the percentages secured by the people.The cut off percentage for selection is 70% and above.The selection procedure consists of 3 rounds
1.Written test(Quantitative and Logical reasoning)15 questions to be answered in 30 minutes.Negative marking is there.So dont blindly guess.Cut off to clear the written test is 9 or 10.
2.Group Discussion(Main elimination round)Many info and tips are given in this group.The main thing that they look in for is communication skills,body language.Plz follow the GD rules.Say atleast 2 or 3 strong points,dont deviate from the topic,take initiative to summarize the points finally.
3.Technical and HR interview:Not much grillling on the technical side.Mostly subject related topics and some questions on C,C++,Java.Mostly the interview panel will consists of 2 to 3 people.They are very cordial.They mainly check in for ur confidence level,communication skill,eye contact,body language etc.In case if u dont know the answers,tell them sorry i dont know.HR interview is very cool.Questions like
Tell me about urself
Ur Career aspirations
Why u want to join Satyam
Are u ready to sign a bond for 2 yrs and willing to relocate.
Clearing the interview is very easy.Be cool and confident.Dont panic.
In my batch nearly 1500 people appeared for the tests,448 were shortlisted for the GD,152 were shortlisted for the interview and finally they selected 82 people.
Well friends i have given all the info and my experiences.Hope it is helpful to all of u.
Self Confidence,Positive attitude in life and faith in god are the keys for success.I would like to end my mail with a few Quotes...
Nobody is a total failure if he dares to try to do something worthwhile.
The one battle most people lose is the battle over the fear of Failure...

it was 15 qestions to be done in 30 min. in gd we were given topic

remember one thing its not that those who start the gd always get
through.
in our batch one person started the gd by saying that we should not
waste time,
speek one by one etc etc but he didnot come to the point for long,
i asked him not to waste time and come to the point.
in gd try to express urself as if ur the leader. kepp saying,
ya very true , thats the good point etc.
i cleared the gd but could not clear interwiev,
qestions were
1) if u can convince me why i shoula take u in satyam ur will be in
satyam,
i gave the ans and then he asked
2)do u think that its enough for me to take u in satyam,
i said its upto u , but i should have given a better answere ,
3ione qestion was

thouroughly.
Another Experience
Written test: 15-qustion. 1-mark for right answer, 1/4 minus for every wrong answer.
I don't remember the questions exactly, but let me tell you.
1> e o e r e.... which is the next letter
2> A ship has a ladder which has 6 rungs. The first rung is 1 ft. above water. If tide rises 1 ft for every 15 min. How many rungs will be under water after 1 hr.
3> Red, blak hat like questions which requires damn horrible patince ton look in to the root of the problem and come up with answer. It was
from george summers.
4>Who is the billionaire among henry,everet..... Almost same question which was asked in infosys october 12th test.
5> mango, orange problem.... basically from R.S.Agrawal book.
6> Two qustions from CAT logical reasoning. The ones having 4 figures, we have to find the fifth. I was well prepared in that type. Most of the people got eliminated in these kind of problems only. One should be very carefull while answering such qeustions, b'coz you will find 2 figures which may look like right answers, but only one has the exact relationship with the previous 4 figures. So, you should be carefull in choosing such answers. I got them right.
7> Most of the rest were like george summers things, but modified perfectly. Like one of them tell you the exact truth, one sometimes tell you the truth, one lies. So, startr with which you see as wrong first. In my case I started with the thing which most others thought it to be wrong. I wrote that as answer. I got it right.
8> A nawab gets out at a railway station 2 earlier to his scheduled arrival. He walks at 3mph speed. At the same time, when he left railway station a cab left his house so as to reach the station just on time. He is walking towards his house. He got his cab on the way and reched his house 1 hr before what everybody thought it as his scheduled arrival. What is the distance between his house and railway station?
It is a very tricky railway station problem. Try to solve it. I will tell you the answer later.
* GROUP Discussion:
1> Environmental pollution whose responsibility is it? {topic given to me}
2> Computer is a female or male?
I remember only this much. One should have a good command over the language and the people around, then only he/she will be selected.
* HR-Tech interview:
It consists of HR-TEch both. A HR person and a tech engineer will be sitting together. Such 6 groups will be there. So, one need not wait for more. He/she may get any of these group. In tech interview tey will ask only about our project. Thatz very easy. simultaneously HR person will interfere{if you are cruising smoothly in tech. , as in my case}and he is the person who will put you under sea. You will feel like a fish put on road from water. It seems I did that one also perfectly. But, I should have put my percentage as 75+ in the resume which they provide there. They provide there own resume. So, I lost there in HR-Tech thing.
Few questions like:
" What is so special about software engineers?"
" If I give you a pen and make you to stand on top of this building and tell you too calculate the total height of this building how will you do it?"
" Tell me about your personal life"{ probably here also I failed. I told about my family and myself. I should has stressed more on my records"

15 ques were there.
ques were like these..i forgot exact wording but this
will definetly give u some idea.
1. a- this is first sentence of
b- this sentence follow second sentence
c- this sentence shows that this is logest among
all the sentences
d- ____
e- ____
f- this sentence is last sentence of the paragrahph

iii ___ c's, iv i d's, v __ e's, vi __ f's, vii __
g's, viii___ h's, ix ___ i's in this sentence.

got 4 no. of pole less so he put them 7ft apart to
cover the whole boundary.
what is the total length of the boundary to be
fenced.
ans: 5x = 7(x-4)
x=14 .... implies boundary = 14x 5 = 70 ft
4.
there r some code given for some company.
like
P Q R S T G H J K J
4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 0 9
DUE TO SOME SECURITY REASONS THE CODES R CHANGED .
G O P E B Z X C V L
1 2 3 9 0 6 7 8 5 4
four ques based on it.. which can be simple solved
by comparing alphabets to their corresponding
numbers.
e.g if code was PQR what is the cost according to
the new code if code is chaged to XCV.. that's it.
5. one speed distance question.( i forgot it).
6. if there r five students ( A B C D E ) who can
comunicate through emails.. then some routes r given
like A- B
A - E
B - D
........
que is to find how can B comunicate with c in min
number of stoppages.( remebr if ther is direct route
from b to c then that is not the one with min
stoppage. min means atleast one, so don't consider as
direct from b to c)
7. onne was like that there r certain number wroitten
to the base 3 ... then to identify some relations
between no..
it was a question with 4 subparts n full page
question. as 15 ques has to be done in 30 mins . so
better leave such long ques .. as they can't be solved
in less then 1.5 mins.

7) A man is walking inside the tunnel AB. when he is
3/8th of the distance from A, he hears a train coming
from behind him..he sees that when he moves towards B,

for himself..the rest he puts back in the bag and goes
to sleep..the next dacoit wakes up, does the same
thing,ie takes 1/5th of the remaining bounty plus one
for himself, puts the rest back and goes to sleep..the
third,fourth and fifth dacoits do the same thing..in
the morning, they all wake up and divide the bounty
equally among them..how may coins were there
originally? The key to this question is to proceed
from the options..see which number leaves a remainder
1 when divided by 5 four times continuously and the
fifth time divides it exactly.
The rest 5 quests i dont remember....Quests 1,2 and 5
have been lifted straight out of Puzzles' by George
Summers..8 is from Shakuntala Devi..
Dont attempt the questions u r not confident of..
The GD round is said to be the Main elimination round
in Satyam..The topic we were given was "US war on
Iraq"..Some other topics could be "environmental
pollution", "Indian Hockey" etc.
The interview consisted of both technical and HR
questions..Expect questions from ur project..and brush
up the subjects in ur major..
CSE- majors were asked on DBMS, a bit of networking,
Object Orientation concepts.etc..
Another paper
written test consisted of puzzles from summers and 3-4
aptitude questions..some aptitude questions like
1. a four digit number whose first digit is 4 more
than the last..and things like that.....very easy.
2.clock problem....
3.logical questions like a is taller than c,c is
shorter thn d...goes on...finally they ask who is
shortest.
4.one problem was there which consisted of letters
represented in the form of letter H....like
a e
b d f
c g
each of these letter represents a digit ranging from 0
to 9...which number does d represent such that the
product of abc,bdf,efg are the same.
5.refer george summers and go...it would certainly be
useful..
there r only 15 questions and 30 mts is time
limit...negative marking is also there
about gd,the topic that our group got was "war on
IRAQ"
all spoke against...our group performed well....always
keep in mind that u need to speak out points in this
session and not that u just keep on talking...talk
little but to the point and u r thru...
about interview..i did it well ..it was both tech and
hr...they asked about my project ..since i did it on
.NET ,they asked more on it
Some tips
1 q was on non verbal reasoning, 1 was on arrangement of sensences in the proper order n another was like arranging ppl based on their status starting from the richest based on some data given, 1 was on that grass problem usually asked in infy n 1 more q was like this.
A person arrives to the station 2 hr b4 schedule. the driver who was suppose to pick him up at the right time in the station leaves home to station so that he'll reach their occording to schedul.But that person calls home n leaves station walking home after hearing that the driver has left he travels some 3 miles n get into the car n reaches home 1 hr b4 schedule how long is his house frm station?
Old papers wont help. They gave different papers for different batches.
I can't recall questions n i strongly suggest u not to depend upon the questions previously asked nor their pattern.
Iam sure they won't repeat. B prepared for anything, stress on logical reasoning.
They have told that the technology and the place for reporting would be their choice.
There would be 2 years bond.
I attended the test on nov 1st n 2nd.
Test ,gd n interview along with the result will happen within 2 days.
some tips for GD
1.Be alert abt what others r talking take a chance to give ur opinion,b sure that u have a strong n sensible point to speak out.
2.Mostly ppl who initiate the talk r who conclude the talk will get through.
Make sure u r anaysing the ideas of ppl there so that u can give a conclusion,there is a chance that u might b particularly asked to conclude the discussion.
3.Be confident while u speak
4.Stick on the point which u r speaking( far r against) dont deviate from the topic.
5.Stick on to one side either far r against till u finish unless n untill u r asked to change the side.
6.Make frnds with ur grp mets know abt them(i mean their names) b4 goin.
