I am Nishant. I am pursuing 3rd year b.tech in ece
Hyderabad. We had
off-campus by Satyam. This pool drive was really big that 21 colleges had
participated and 3000-4000 students wrote the written exam. Only 300 of them
cleared the written exam.116 of them had cleared the h.r and finally got the
job. And I am the one of them. I would like to share my experiences with you,
as i was very much benefited by the previous experiences of the candidates.
DAY 1: written paper:
friends there were 10 questions from reasoning and 5 from aptitude. The paper
was not so tough. But it was really time consuming. So please try to scan the
paper first and try to complete the aptitude questions in starting 5 minutes.
Then rest of the time you complete the reasoning part.
15 questions,30 min and +1 for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.
1) A question like this he gave a=0 and b=1 and asked us to find the value for
the number 5
ans. (bab) convert 5 to binary...(101)
2) missing number series..damn tough....(don’t attempt, its simply waste of
time)
3) from time and work....a and b can do a piece of work in 20 days. b and c can
do it in 12 days. c and a can do it in 10 days. then how much time will a alone
would take to do the work..(Direct from r.s.agarwal without changing the
numbers)
4)from reasoning. a bit difficult
5)again reasoning. the question was very big
6)a rectangle problem from areas...
7)logical deduction
8)he gave ten statements and we have to deduce the 11 statement by using this
10 statements
9) a problem on Compound interest(direct from r.s.agarwal without even changing
the numbers)
10)a passage was given a logical inference should be made.(very big. but easy
one)
11)a problem on permutations....(damn easy)
12)a problem from data interpretation. It was on line graphs...very big. Not
easy to deduct the solution
13) a problem from profit and loss (direct from r.s.agarwal...he didn’t even
change the numbers)
even the other two were from reasoning...
Finally friends...it totally depends upon your time management. It does not
depend how many questions you have answered, it depends how many questions you
have answered correctly. So even if you know 5 out of 15 perfectly, then just
answer 5 questions. As a matter of fact, I answered 8 of them and I was
confident on 5 questions and the remaining 3 answers which I wrote were from
reasoning. So I don how many were correct. But I luckily cleared written test
DAY 2: MORNING
They gave the resume form and asked us to fill the details correctly
(mandatory) even a small approximation in your percentages or malpractice in
writing your backlogs wasn’t allowed. Then they gave an essay and asked us to
write on it in less than 300 words. And time limit was only 10 min.
AFTERNOON: H.R ROUND :( for me it was 40 min... He asked questions from
all my 3 years of ece)
me: may i comin sir H.R: comin....pls take your seat H.R: TELL ME ABOUT URSELF?
ME: said (please prepare for this before itself properly because he will be
testing your communication skills) H.R: interrupted me while I was saying my strengths. but I was able to
bounce back H.R: read my essay completely and started asking questions on that
me: answered H.R: he was not satisfied by my answer
me: i convinced him with my answer by giving an example H.R: asked about family background
me: said H.R: started technical (for me this consumed around 25 min)
me: answered all the questions with practical examples H.R: he saw my extra-curricular activities and started questioning on
them
me: answered very well. H.R: Do u have any questions?
Me: asked one question and he answered that and he was very impressed by my
answer.. H.R: anymore questions?
me: asked one more and he answered that H.R: gave a cool hand shake
me: said thank u and left the room
