Aptitude
GD
Personel Interview ( less technical & more general Questions here )

Aptitude is of 3 parts
Vervbal
Analytical
Quantitative

No Negative and Duration 70Min total and 60Q

Verbal ( 1 - 15 Q) and is for 20 minutes
Verbal is very very easy….. Just filling article

Eg) There was — cow and it ate — grass

We have some questions to choose nearest meaning of the words that are given in italics in a sentence

From (11 - 15Q) Comprehension type….. A paragraph was given and 5 questions were asked abt it… This was also very easy….

Analytical ( 16 - 30 Q) and is for 20 minutes
Was bit difficult…. We are given a 3 lines problem and based on it 2 questions…. If we think we can answer it….

Quants ( 31 - 60 Q) and is for 40 Minutes

This is Atul Jain from the COLLEGE OF ENGG.&MGMT.,KOLAGHAT(W.B)& I’ve been selected at the pooled campus drive for SATYAM,held on 5th AUGUST,2006,at the St.Thomas College of Engineering,Kolkata.The paper consisted of General Short passage reading,Quantitive Aptitude & Analytical and Logical Reasoning.Time alloted was only 30 mins.Total no. of questions:-15.The paper was a lengthy one. There was -ve marking of 0.25 per wrong answer.It was easy 4 me coz I’m preparing 4 the CAT exam.I answered 10. GD & HR were on the next day.

A)GENERAL PASSAGE READING
This is the easiest part.anyone can do it if he/she has proficiency in English.Consult ur study materials 4 the CAT or any other similar exam.there was one on architects in India,others were on body immunity& hospitals.

B)QUANTITIVE APTITUDE
Manageable only if u r acquainted with the CAT pattern & books like R.S AGGRAWAL are amply suitable.sums were on dist,speed&time,boats&streams,pipes&cisterns,co-ordinate geometry,general geometry,pie-charts,age problems,etc.so u must go through R.S AGGRAWAL vividly. keep all formulae at the tips of ur fingers.

C)REASONING
The toughest part.plz be slow but steady 2 answer this section.practice 4m BARRON’S.but don’t expect 2 get common q’s.i remember dat one was on red&green hats.

ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES
1) U needn’t answer all q’s.just do 7-8 correctly.cut-off is usually 7(may vary).
2) Decide which q’s can be solved at single chance.don’t waste ur time on a particular q.just go along with the rest if u get stuck at one.
3) Don’t make wild guesses coz of -ve marking.
4) Think +ve & be confident.

D)GROUP DISCUSSION
Just speak logically and confidently 2 express ur views.Either start or conclude the topic.Make sure dat u contribute some good pts. They emphasise on ur communication&logical skill.each grp has 10 members.2-3 got selected 4m each grp coz GD is the main elimination round.our topic was easy-Population in India is an increasing manace.

2) wht’s the meaning of ur name?(4tunately i knw the meaning of my own name!!!)
