Sec III àMental Ability(very simple, try to score 10/10,

eg – 1234.5678 1234.5678 1234567.445 u need to tell all three are similar, none are similar, 2 r similar, 1 Q(5 sub ques) on conditions given and u need to select candidates on various criteria )No practice required for this.

Sec IV à C ques(do pointers(not in too depth),malloc,calloc,structures,for,ifloops very well)

Sec V à C++(virtual const and destr, templates, access specifiers, OOPS conceps, virtual functions)

GD : They do not look how relevant u speak they only look u can shout or not so plz speak if u want to clear this round.

HR Interview: Its very simple if u satisfy eligibility criteria and know something about ACCENTURE u will clr it.

Technical + Final Interview :They ask everything regarding ur project and some technical(C,C++) and HR question. If u r in final round this means u r almost in.

Accenture placement process consists of 4 rounds.
1).Written Test(with an essay)
2).Group Discussion
3).PPT 4 gd cleared.
4). i) HR/Technical interview

1)WRITTEN TEST.

It comprised of 55 questions each of 1 mark…..The paper ,designed by Merittrac, was categorised into 3 sections .Although,there is no sectional cut-off.The cut -off during our time was 34.I managed 2 get 45 correct .

The three sections were:
1.General English
It included simple questions on articles,prepositions etc…nd 2 comprehensions (2 technical passages here)

2.Quantitave+Reasoning questions
It consisted of basic probability,blood relations,position(standing 4th from left …)etc..type questions.

3.Concentration questions
Questions like match the the mathematical figures given,* is replaced by / like questions..5 questions were based upon finding out whether a person will be selected 4 this job depending upon certain prerequisites.

So, if plan ur time nd concentrate well, u can clear the written.After our written test,they told us to write an essay on “career in accenture”.I just explained what are the core values of this company nd why a fresher like me should prefer joining accenture.

2) GROUP DISCUSSION

After few minutes.the 2 gps had to present reverse views.
I gave 2 points in the middle.In the end, he gave a chance 2 speak to those who hd spoken less.I was also called 4 so.I gave Kiran Majumdar’s example nd got selected.The results were declared by the moderator himself at the end of gd.

Other topics were bascis regarding IT sector nd general topics. The Meritrac team announced that there will b two interviews both can be hr /technical or combi of both.

Accenture Paper Whole Testpaper Blue Bells School, Delhi. – 2007

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 24th FEBRUARY AT DELHI

Written Paper: The written paper was conducted by Merittrac and it was same as asked in earlier papers (around 50-55 questions and an essay/ No negative marking).

It was an easy one but remember easy for everyone that why the cutoff was nearly above 45. The essay I got was “Your three main priorities when u will become the Prime Minister of a country”. I got selected in the written paper.

Group Discussion: As everyone feels that the GD is the main elimination round in any selection process, it’s not true in case of Accenture. If u”ll speak a little bit confidently and some valid points on the topic given to u, u” clear it. My GD topic is “Hardworking or Smartworking or Both/Support”. We had a batch of 12 out of which 9 was selected including me. So be confident, communications skills was not a major factor.

HR Interview (sometimes tech. interview comes earlier than HR)

Its not just a formality as many of my friends got eliminated in this round. They asked me:

Introduce urself

About Accenture

Why should we hire u?

On project u did in college and the role u played in it (in detail).

Strengths & Weaknesses (Specify each in detail)

Relocation etc……………………………………

In the end they will ask u do u hav any questions, please ask some questions as I did.

I asked what type of projects will I be able to assist on? The HR said that there r many types of projects being done in Accenture and a 3 months extensive training is imparted on each trainee. Then he asked why u asked me that question, I said so that I can learn a language required to my upmost level. My 2nd question was How soon will I be able to be productive? He said u feel ur not productive at present. I said yes im productive at present but I want to exploit my full potential dere.

I cleared this round.

Technical Interview

The technical panelist firstly asked me to introduce myself, again why Accenture?

Then as I did my BE in CSE, he asked me to write down

Programs on Prime No. & Binary Search

After that he asked me about

Polymorphism,

Entity-Integrity Rule

5th Normal Form

Linear Queue-Circular Queue

Newton’s 2nd Law Etc…………………………………

I performed well in tech. and at that time hoping to get my dream job i.e. ACCENTURE but unfortunately my dreams got shattered as I didn’t got the desired result as Im not able to clear tech. round.

I got very depressed but in end I managed to accept it as I take a determination to get into Accenture at some latter time.

Please Pray for me so that I can get a job…

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF U……

hey frns !! wanna go 4 accenture……… !! of course… who else won’t like to .. nyways, herez d format..

1. aptitude test
2. GD
3. HR interview
4. Final interview

Aptitude test is easy.. …. comprises of general english.. including prepositions, articles, venn diagrams, 2 comprehension passages ( 1 is a bit tough n other one is easy ) and essay writing. our topic 4 essay was ” IF I WERE THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA” we were given just 5 minutes to write the essay …. so u hav to be very fast.. word length is minimum 100 words for essay.

about 1000 students appeared 4 d apptitude test out of which about 400 cleared..

next was group discussion.. we had a gp of 15 students.. out of which 4 got selected. it is basically an ellimination round.. out of 15 students.. accenture hardly choose 2-4 students .. make sure that u r audible n clear on your point. my topic was” WHICH IS BETTER COCA COLA OR PEPSI ?” other topics were “SHOULD COLD DRINKS BE BANNED” ” SHOULD CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BE DERE OR NOT ”

my personal suggessions :- if u hav a solid point in ur mind….. just without thinkin initiate the GD.. after dat even if u don’t say anything thru out d gd.. still u’ll get selected.. coz this shows ur leadership skills.. or.. if u couldn’t initiate.. then in between give a valid point related 2 d topic.. n make sure ur point is considered, u r audible n clear.. coz it’s tough to b audible in gp of 15 .. so better be loud n confident..

id GD is becoming a fish market .. try to calm every one.. bt also make sure u r giving a valid point after dat.. just speaking any thing won’t work.. u must give a point dats valid

next were interviews………. both d interviews weer conducted side by side.. sum got d chance 2 appear 4HR and some 4 final interview .. which is basically technical … bt actually u cannot say nything……….coz my both d interviews were mixture of both technical n HR !!

HR interview i was asked questions like :
tell us sumthin abt ur self ?
y do u wanna join accenture ?
wat cn u give to accenture ?
any problem if we relocate u ?
f we locate u to chennai ? ny problem ?
u frm CSE ? i said yes…..
den dey asked me ……… what is inheritance ?
give example ?
write program of inheritance ?

dey just check ur confidence n speaking skills…….. even if u don’t know program… just b confident n write wat ever u know…… i wrote a correct program.. bt it was too simple!!

sum students were asked questions like…ur favorite subject.. n den dey ask u questions related to dat no matter u re mechanical engineer, chemical engineer , electronics engineer… dey hav questions 4 every one

ur fav subject in 12th ? some questions like describe faraday’s laws, newtons laws were asked..
draw diagram of microprocessor?
one frnd f mine said her fav subject in 12th was chemistry ………
she ws asked Ca + H2SO4 = ?

next was final interview……
dey asked me my introduction..
would u hav ny problem if we relocate u ?
what are data structures ?
what is a variable ?
hat is linked list ?
den i had done oracle 9i , so dey asked me questions related to dat..
what is index ?
what is inner join ?
i was asked to write 2 queries .. one simple select , other of joins !!
were do u see urself after 5 years ?

well , dat ws my experiance……bt i must say.. accentuire really filters the students.. n appoint just selected ones.. only 50 finally got selected..out of 1000 who appeared..

finally i made into accenture…… will b joining soon…. I’m really thnkful to freshersworld.com …….. the placement papers were very very helpful n u frns, don’t worry.. it’s not too tough.. all u need is confidence , gud comm.skills n knowledge abt ur subjects.. n u r in !! nywyas, all d best to all ..just work hard.. n hav faith in GOD ..

i was rejected in TECH MAHINDRA……. i couldn’t clear final HR round.., n ws vry vry discouraged.. bt it’s an old sayin bt very true “WAT EVER HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS 4 GUD ” n finally i ws in ACCENTURE ,,,,,,,,,,,,so, frnds …….don’t loose hope!! GOD BLESS U ALL !!

Accenture Paper Whole Testpaper PILLAI COLLEGE – 2007

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 15th MARCH

Hi GUYS,

Myself Chetan K from JONDHALE college. Just yesterday i got Placed in Accenture after their tough & lengthy selection procedure.

GENERAL idea about accenture selection process–>
(4 rounds)

Round 1
APPTITUDE TEST
In my case for apptitude test nearly 700-800 students were present From 25 colleges. Around 300 students cleared apptitude test.

Round 2
GROUP DISCUSSION
Batch of 15 students was formed, from each batch ‘minimum’ 5 students were eliminated.

Round 3
HR INTERVIEW (One to One interview)
From GD about 200 were selected for HR and roughly 150 students cleared it.

Round 4
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
I would like to call it as the ‘toughest’ round. From 150 say nearly 40-50 students were selected who finally made it to Accenture.

I was the lucky one of them.
Detailed idea about the 4 rounds—>
APPTITUDE TEST
Cracking apptitude test of accenture is quite easy. But remember nearly 3/4 th of students of the total appearing fail to crack this round? Preparation for apptitude test is always needed.

Guidelines- Refer to previous accenture papers. Pattern of questions remains more or less same only.

Some type of questions–>> Venn diagram,
Fill correct word,
>> similar word for the word in italics,
if 1 stands for $, and 0 stands for * then what answer would suit the equation.
>> Questions on 2 passages
>> Date & day problems
>> Data sufficiency type problems
Race problem
References for above–> Quantitative apptitude(R S AGRAWAL) SHAKUNTALA DEVI.

( GROUP DISCUSSION )
Guys who r not comfortable in speaking ENGLISH clearly, possibly dont clear this round?
>> Topic given to my group was Sharukh v/s Amitabh in KBC.
>> Try to speak clearly and to the point.
>> Try to be the leader.
>> Give examples to support what u speak that creates the best impression.
>> If you dont speak then or if your voice tone is not loud and clear and if you are seen nervous then you are gone.
>> The best way to clear this round is to take initiative if possible and try to conclude on behalf of you group members.

( HR ROUND )
INTERVIEW Questions asked to me were–>
>> Describe yourself?
>> What r ur strengths?
>> What do you know about accenture?
>> Why accenture?
>> What projects does accenture works on?
>> Which are the top 3 IT firms in INDIA?
>> Tell me about the projects done by u?
>> Besides projects have u done any assignments what role u played there?
>> What are your future plans?
>> R u ready to relocate?
>> Which place u would prefer if choosen?
>> R u married?
>> Possibly at what age will u marry?
>> What does ur parents do?
>> Do you have any education gap?
>> R u sure that the information u provided us is true?
>> Any questions?

( TECHNICAL ROUND )
‘Toughest round’ and a ‘thick elimination round’ If u are a COMPUTER or IT guy then be prepared for some tough questions and be ready to write any algorithm or program which they ask u.

>> I was possibly the 10th guy for appearing the technical interview and all the previous guys were eliminated but i was prepared for tech round so confidently i cleared it.
>> They assured me that since i was a COMPUTER guy the tech would be tough as they Expected more from a COMPUTER guy.
>> I was asked to write sorting algorithm.Confidently i wrote it taking a example and explaining it. I constructed the algorithm step by step telling him the logic as to why i was doing each step and why did i not planned another solution.
> Questions generally began from interviewer’s side and he began to go deep as he was to explore all what i had studied. Since my basics were clear i didnt faced much problem.
>> It took some 15 minutes for this round and since he had put me all the possible questions on sorting no more questions were asked. >> But for those who were not comfortable in answerinq the first question were put many questions then and he saw upto what level ur concepts were clear and how much knowledge u have.
>> B prepared for this round as ratio of selection to rejection for this round can be guessed by me possibly as 1:10.

REMEMBER—->
>> Confidence is tested at all the levels.
> If u dont have the confidence then ur chances of selection are slim.
>> Refer to all accenture papers.
>> B prepared for apptitude first then only think of facing the other rounds.
>> B prepared for technical since ur place in accenture depends on this final round.
>> Pray to GOD then everything will work smoothly.

So GUYS i hope u all find this useful enough to be aware of what accenture pattern is.
So GUYS be prepared– ” LETS MEET IN ACCENTURE ” so ” SEE U IN ACCENTURE “.

Best wishes for all the students-
CHETAN K

ALL THE BEST!!!!!
