ACCENTURE PAPER ON 4TH SEPTEMBER AT CHANDIGARH

Hi everyone, I am Pankaj Sharma,ece(3rd year) from Desh Bhagat Engineering College, Mandi Gobindgarh. Recently a placement drive was held by Accenture in Chitkara Institute of Technology, Chandigarh and by someone’s grace, I was selected.
The selection process was divided into four divisions: written round, the group discussion, HR interview and Technical Interview in the order mentioned above.

THE WRITTEN ROUND : for the written round preparation from r.s aggarwal’s verbal and non-verbal reasoning and quantitative aptitude by the same author are enough. The questions asked were on time and distance, work , arithmetic based on interchange of mathematical symbols

THE GROUP DISCUSSION : the students were divided into groups of fifteen . the topic for our group was ‘transition from college life to corporate life’. Actually, the gd in our group quickly turned into a fish market and those who managed to stay cool were selected. I acted like a co-ordinator as best as I could under the circumstances and it paid off. The mantra is to maintain your cool , listen attentively to other people’s view point , speak with confidence and never look in the direction of the co-ordinator.

THE HR ROUND :
The hr personnel was a cool guy and the interview moved as follows:
Q. how did your percentage drop from 90.4 in class 10 to 74 in class 12
A. told the reason
Q. ok, pankaj , what is your passion. What do you like to do in your free time?
A. told
Q. what is success?
A. told
Q. what is failure?
A. told
Q. why should we select you?
A. told
Q. ok pankaj thank you
A. thank you sir

I believe that the hr personnel mainly checks your command over the English language and your general trend of thought

THE TECHNICAL ROUND :
As I am from ece, I believe I had an advantage as only one question from oracle, and that also because I had written in my c.v. that I knew oracle , was asked . the rest were general questions like what is your greatest achievement, what kind of a project do you want to design in the future , etc.

The key is to believe in yourself and not worry.

Meet you at Accenture

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 24TH MAY,2008

Hiiiiiiii Friends... This is Ritesh Nanda a student of B.tech(CSE) 3rd year. And I m now sharing the whole test procedure of accenture with you.
Firstly starting with the aptitude/written test
For this u really need to devote time at least 2 days solving questions from m.tyra or r.s. aggarwal.
In Accenture they give more stress on verbal/non verbal rather than on solving mathematical questions
The topics u really need to be strong in are
1. venn diagrams (around 6 to 7 questions )
2. time and work ( 2 simple questions )
3. questions based on age( around 2 to 3)
4. cubes ( 2 questions)
5. speed, Time, distance (1 or 2)
6. ratio and proportion (around 4 questions)
7. profit and loss ( 2 to 3 questions)
8. S.I/C.I (2 questions)

First was the English section which u need to complete in around 15 to 20 minutes to get a command over the short time for the paper.
The English section was not so easy and not so tough since their was no negative marking so attempt all questions.

Then was the analytical section which was quite easy. Each question takes around 30 to 45 second if u knw the right formula which are mentioned in M.TYRA book for each n every topic.
Then was the easiest portion in which the questions were like
Q.1If = means +, + means -, -means / etc then solve 22+76-6/45
N the other questions were like
Q 2.Which one out of the four options does not match?
1.afghgfhjg 2.afghgfhjh 3. afghgfhfj 4.afghgfhjg
In this u can really grag your marks infinitely but yes take care that the paper has SECTIONAL CUTOFF . So take pains of each section separately
In this round from around 3800 people only 750 were selected

Next is the GD round
This is also an elimination round. In this just take care of the current affairs
Few of the topics of GD were
1.inflation
2.rainbow
3.effect of cinema on youth
4.India china economy
In GD round everybody wants to initialize so that he/she comes in the eyes. But friends let me tell u the best rules for GD
1.First 5 to 10 minutes jst listen to what others are saying.
2.shake ur head and pretend as if u r listening very carefully.
3.then a time comes when all points get over n the discussion keeps revolving around those points only then is ur turn
4.give a point that has statistical figures in it and yes keep speaking until any one interrupts
5.when anybody interrupts then listen to him genuinely and behave as a good listener.

These points will definitely make u clear the GD round but yes TAKE CARE OF YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS UR GRAMMAR I>E UR TENSES ETC
IN this round out of 750 people 220 got selected

Third is the H.R round
This was not so tough. Questions on your family. Ur nature, your experiences etc are being put up. They just check your TRUTHFULNESS.
So guys have examples of all the thing u have mentioned in your CV.
IN this out of 220, 150 people were selected.

Forth and the last round was TECHNICAL ROUND
THE QUESTIONS WERE LIKE
1. PRECEDENCE OF ARIHEMETIC OPERATORS
2. WHAT IS FUNCTION OVERLOADING?
3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHAR AND VARCHAR2 IN DBMS?
4. QUESTION ON I, I++ AND ++I

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE OUTPUT.

IN THIS ROUND OUT OF 150 , ONLY 82 WERE SELECTED AND WITH GRACE OF VAISHNO DEVI MATA I GOT SELECTED.

TO BOLO “JAI MATA DI”

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 15TH MARCH,2008
hi every1, its pranshu here.....i appeared for the Accenture written paper on 15th march 2008. out of 4100 students from all over punjab 798 got selected in the written paper. The written paper was quite easy...apti+english+analytical. there were 55 questions and 32 was the cut-off (not sure 'bout the cut-off). Then we had our GD almost a month later on 12th April 2008.
My G.D. group had 12 ppl. 9 out of 12 got selected. Our topic was "BLACK". Then i had my technical interview which was quite simple. The interviewer asked me about polymorphism and then asked me 2 write a program illustrating it. I told him that i am not very comfortable writing programs. Then he asked me my pet subjects of ELECTRONICS since i am from E.C.E. I said microprocessors and then explained 8085 microprocessor and it's architecture. He then asked me puzzles regarding velocities of 2 trains etc....

My H.R. was a lady...she made me feel comfortable and i didn't feel nervous et al. She asked me bout my family background, hobbies, interests , bout myself. The dip in %age from 10th till degree, why Accenture?

Overall i had a nice experience.

The BOTTOM LINE is never get disheartened....i couldn't clear the infy paper n was a little sad afterwards but i didn't lose hope. Have confidence in your own abilities...maintain an eye contact with the interviewer, full confidence in whatever u say....and at last but not the least FAITH IN ALMIGHTY GOD!!!

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 28th MARCH AT LUCKNOW
First of all i would like to express my gratitude to freshersworld which has helped me immensely in getting placed. this site is a blessing for frehers like us. I attended accenture placement exam at srmcem,lko in a pool campus. The selection process was a long and tedious one but ended with my selection so i'm very happy. Accenture paper consists of 3 parts - verbal, quanti and attention to details. the paper is quite easy, only requires consistent practice from any reasoning book. don't just go through r.s aggarwal, try to expand your chances of selection by going through some mba material..

verbal section is a piece of cake, for everyone, dosn' require great english, just corret use of grammar.
Quants is also very basic, but u should have practised it.

Attention to details only checks your mental applicability, so it dsn't actually require any practice. the results were announced after 5 days, so we had to wait a little too much. I attended gd on 5th april at lko. Before yhe gd, they gave us a ppt about accenture. be VERY attentive and try to make a mental note of everything,it helps in the interview.

Our gd topic was "Ragging should be legalised". I spoke against the topic. Out of 15, 9 were selected. they don't have a fixed no. they cn take as many they like.

During gd be cool and clear in your view. DO NOT try to dominate others or get aggresive, just try to give your points clearly and in good english. be original and don't repeat other's points.follw these little bits and u'll be through this round.

My first interview was hr but he also asked little bit about my project. the interviewer was very nice and i didn't feel nervous at all. he asked me the meaning of my name, books i like to read, what ws the most striking thing i found about accenture, my family background etc. it lasted for about 20 mins. in the end he askd me if i wanted to ask him anything and i asked his name.The only tip for this round is - be confident yet humble. answer only what is asked, don't try to show off and look into his eyes while talking.after the interview got over he gave me his hand, which i shook very firmly, that reflects your confidence. I was asked to wait outside and within 5 mins i was told that i am through that round

I was called for my second interview aftr waiting for 4 hours. he was the most senior person from the recruiting team and very gentle. He asked me my favorite subject which i said was OOPS. he askd me the diff btween oops and c, about my project, why i want to join accenture and few others. in the end he asked me whether i want to ask him anything. i asked him about the working environment at accenture. he told me about it and then askd me to leave.

ACCENTURE PAPER 4th JULY 2008
Hi there...We had campus placement for Accenture in our college on 4th July..
There were 4 rounds.
i) Aptitude test (written)
ii) Group discussion
iii) Technical interview
iv) HR interview

Aptitude test was easy.. I hadn't really prepared very hard for it.. R.S Agarwal verbal and non verbal reasoning should be quite enough.. there were three sections of the paper:

Verbal (quite easy)
Quantitative (a bit difficult.. the time wasn't enough)
Reasoning (easy again)

Then there was the Group Discussion. the topic we were given was "What should the Indian Government do to attract more people to join the Indian Army". The only condition is that you talk and you talk sense. One sensible point can get you through. Our group had 14 members and 12 were qualified for the second round. In some other groups, 7 were selected and 7 rejected.

Then there was the technical interview.
The person taking the interview was very friendly and warm. I was tensed in the beginning, but later the I felt a bit relaxed.
This was supposed to be a tech interview, but it was more of a tech + HR interview..
Some of the questions he asked were the following:
- Which is your favourite subject? (And then a few questions based on the subject)
- What are your achievements?
- Tell me about yourself and your family.
- Why do want to do this job and why not go for further studies?
- What are your hobbies? (And some questions based on your hobbies.. Like I said reading books.. And he asked me the last book that I've read and asked me a quick review about the book)

Then finally there was the HR interview.. This interview was more like reading the conditions out.. It was very brief..
The questions were:
- Give me your personal profile.. ( Personal profile includes everything about you, your academics, your family, your interests, etc)
- Are you ready to be relocated??
- Are you ready to work for any client, at any place, under any working hours and conditions?
- Are you ready to sign a bond to this effect?
- Do you have any gaps in your education?

One thing, I'd suggest about the interviews is that be truthful and honest and frank. DO NOT bluff or try to be something which you aren't.
The results of each round are announced immediately after the round and the selected candidates move on..
The final results were announced at about 9:00 in the night. (The selection process started at about 9:30 in the morning).
There were 51 people selected from our college, and by God's grace, I was one of them.
Hope this helps you in your preparation for Accenture..

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 29TH MARCH 2008
Hi friends . my name is deepak.. Accenture visit our campus on 29 march...it was a co-campus activity...Accenture allow to sit together B.Tech and MCA students. there were around 1200 students appeared for the written test....Then after two days we get our result.. around two hundred students cleared the written test.. test was very easy but main thing was cut-off was very high...you must practice a lot to do all question in paper otherwise you will not clear the cut off...so practice easy question as well..on 5th of April we had next emaing rounds......at 10.00 am there was a ppt. session....it last for 45 minutes.....then GD started...there were group of 12 people...after GD around 85 students were selected for technical and HR ..
TECHNICAL round..
the technical round was not so easy.. people used to say that Accenture technical is very easy...but its more then just c and c++...the person who was taking my interview ask me questions on c ,c++, networking, software engineering, database management....one thing you must care that you do not tell a lie...the person who is taking your interview is more smart...than you...so if you are not good in one subject just tell the interviewer that you are not comfortable in that subject...if he ask question to you on that subject ......about your favourite subject your all fundamentals should be clear otherwise it can create problem for you....

then HR round was very interactive....HR person is always a cool guy..he will make you more comfortable then technical person..
then around 9.00 pm result was declared...around 40 student were selected...it was a day which i would never like to forget in my life....i was selected in my dream company....so guys be ready ......
see you in Accenture ALL THE BEST.....
those people who have one year gap can be a part of Accenture very easy....but gap of more then one year will create problem...so don't think that you had one yr gap and Accenture will not hire you...be ready to clarify that why you have a gap in your studies...

After 1 hour or so result was announced. 122 students out of 244 got selected and immediately after that we were divided in groups and sent for gd.

GROUP DISCUSSION
Well I must tell u tht I didn’t had I had a kind of extempore instead. All of us were given a topic on which we had to speak for 1 min. Then after all hv completed speakin we were told to contradict others or to give a conclusion. Our topic was “Impact of Cell phones-Good or Bad”

I was asked to talk abt myself for a min. and after that he asked ques on my ans. Some very basic questions were asked regarding C++. They also asked about hw much I knew abt the company etc.. They just checked our confidence level. Just after the interview I was told that I got through with the tech round.

HR ROUND
This was the last round and I had to wait for around 4.5 hours to appesr in it. It was quite easy as the interviewer was the same person who was there in our g.d. He aws very cool and calm. As it was around 9.00 p.m. so he asked abt hw m I feeling.

Then students were divided, some had their technical first, while others had their HR first. My first interview was technical. Since my CGPA is good,he was impressed. Prepare well Project details and viva because their main emphasis is on Projects. Since I had Grade A in Financial Management and Digital Electronics, he asked some questions from these subjects. Then he asked me to wait outside. A man came and he told me that I was selected

They declare the result of first interview hand to hand, Then my interview was HR.HR asked simple questions like describe urself,ur ideal,
sth abt Accenture which is not there in website. Finally after one hour, results were announced. My name was there, I was happy.

Their process is quite fast. Just remain calm, remember, God is with u.

ACCENTURE PAPER 23rd MAY 2008

Hi friends, ACCENTURE visited our college on 23rd May 2008, it was my b'day. Lets not waste time.....

There were FOUR rounds in all:
1) Written test:
The written test was conducted by MERITRACK, so go through their papers. Many questions were repeated. It had THREE sections and consisted of 55 questions in all. The written test was damn easy. The 3 sections were:

SECTION 1 : VERBAL:: There were 20 questions in this section.5 questions on reading comprehension, 5 on sentence completion, 5 synonyms and 5 anatonyms...The questions were simple and no need of going through any GRE books for this section...
SECTION 2 : APTITUDE:: 20 questions. I believe R.S.Aggarwal is more than enough for this section. Questions were asked ratio and proportion, percentage, profit and loss, sequence completion, venn diagrams, and questions like:* means +, / means *, + means - and - means /;Then what's the value of 2/9*1+10-8
SECTION 3 : LOGICAL REASONING:: There were 15 questions in this section. This section also was simple, questions were blindly picked from R.S.Aggarwal. There was no negative marking.
Around 625 candidates attended the written test and 255 were short listed.

2) Group Discussion :
There were 12 members in our group. The topic given to us was:
Should Hockey still be the national game of
6 of us were short listed.
Some of the topics given to other groups were:
-GD is a waste of time.
-Usage of IT.
-Effect of cinema on youth. etc...
Totally, around 130 of us were short listed for the next round.
After this round, we were given a form to fill. Fill the form clearly, coz based on the details u fill, the questions will be posed
in the interviews. Remember, people having year gaps have very less chances to be selected. They almost selected none who had year gaps.

3) Technical Interview :
The interviewer was a very cool guy. Mainly he asked me about my project. So be thorough with your project. They may go deep into your project. Be ready with your project. They need a clear cut description about your project. Database used, type of connection used, problems faced while developing the project and connections and so on....
He didn't ask me much technical questions. Some of the questions were:
Explain Binary search, normalization, paging, swapping and a few small querries...
Right after my technical round, I was taken for the HR round, people who didn't get through technical round were told
on the spot.

4) HR interview :
The lady who took my HR interview was not so friendly. Some of the questions she asked me were:
-Tell me about yourself.
-Are you happy to be short listed to the final round? (I said of course I am, and today's my b'day and this is
the first interview of my life, so this added to my happiness. She wished me for my b'day).
-Why did you score less marks in your 12th standard?
-Asked me why wasn't I selected in the first 3 companies that visited our college. (I told that I wasn't eligible to
attend any of those three interviews).
-Do you have any year gap in your academics?
-Achievements, strengths, weakness.
-Extracurricular activities.
-Why Accenture?
-Willingness to work in any region in India. bla bla bla.........

I finished my HR round at around 4.30pm. I was asked to wait until 6pm for my results. The interviews went on until 11.30 at night.
We had to wait until 12 at night for our results. Finally the results were announced at 12. And yepp, I was one of the 75 selected students. So, totally 75 (out of 625 who attended) were selected.
Remember- The only mantra for getting through in any campus interview is:

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 11TH APRIL, 2008

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 11TH APRIL, 2008

Day 1
APTITUDE TEST
Something that should have begun at 8AM did so at 9:15 AM, which is surprising considering I’ve heard that the guys from Accenture are never late. I was the first batch to begin its test. A simple aptitude test started at 9:30 AM. The format was as follows:
1) VERBAL SECTION.. Basic question types were.
* Put the correct prepositions in sentences.
* Mark the answer as the world which has its meaning closes to the one italicized in the sentence.
* 2 simple IT passages which non IT people wouldn’t have a problem with either.
2) ANALYTICAL SECTION. Simple math but time consuming
3) A section to simply check your concentration..
It had questions like compare 11010110010101001 and 11010110000101001 to check if they are the same.
The paper had 55 multiple choice questions, 1 mark each and you had 1 hour to do it. They also get you to fill a basic data sheet before you begin along and staple this along with your answer sheet (an OMR sheet since the test is multiple choice) and in most cases they staple your resume to the back too.
They took in about 500 students in the first slot and the number of students who had shown up was close to 1500 (detailed info later). So they did the whole thing in 3 groups. Tests finished around 2 PM and results came out around 6:30PM
They had 30 lists having 15 students each. Each list is a group for a GD. 1500 students wanting to see these lists on one notice board is bound to cause chaos. The management didn’t quite sadly think of this. When they realised it, they put students in 3 rooms on the 3rd floor and started announcing names in lists and also displayed the list on one corner of the campus on the ground floor. It took an hour to an hour and a half but it was done. My friends saw my name on the 29th list and told me about it. I was through from the aptitude test!

GROUP DISCUSSION
The usual topics were basically current events. They were based on IPL, the Tata Nano and Sania Mirza’s decision not to play in India. Being in group 29, I had to wait till the end so the guy knew we were prepared with these. So he gave us a derivative of what a girl in my group suggested (on being asked). “Should smoking off screen be banned as well?” was my group’s topic. Here are a few things you want to know about these GDs.

1.In a group, they will select anywhere from 0-10 people. You need to make good points and be heard. Don’t make it a fish market though.
2.Follow up, be clear in what you’re saying and make sure you’re heard. Keep it short, simple and yet accurate.

An entire group got rejected because they were all shouting. Just maintain decorum . My group had 3 people selected in total.
We got a small yellow chit saying we’re invited tomorrow for the interview. It was already 9:45 PM so it had been a long day..

Day 2
They gave us a 45 minute presentation on the company; a cut short one because they were already running late. Then we were waiting for our names to be called out for our interviews. We were all sitting in a big auditorium.
There were 8 panelists. 4 for Technical and 4 for HR. All technical on one floor while all HR on another. I went for my HR first.

HR INTERVIEW
It was really good tbh. We started chatting as if we’re friends. He asked me about myself, where I was from, what my likes were and what I did in my free time. When I said I like playing football, he asked me about my favourite club and we had a brief discussion on isotopes and I answered that. He asked me for examples and I said Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium. He said “Carbon?” and I confidently said “Graphite” but realised 18 hours later that Graphite is a different molecular structure of carbon and not an isotope. Graphite was an impulse answer. Only retrospection made me realise how wrong I was. Didn’t matter then
He then asked me to explain how a cricket ball swings. I gave my explanation. He refined it adding a few technical terms like drag and asked me if he’s right. I said yes. He then asked me how new balls swung and I said it had something to do with the grip but I don’t know the exact reason since I’ve never played with season balls (leather covered cricket balls). The actual answer was the grip is such that the seam points towards the slips and the new prominent seam cuts the air to cause it to go towards the direction that the seam is pointed. Thanks Dad, for that answer
He said he was done with me and was wondering if I had any questions about the organisation. I did so he answered them. And then it was done. I stepped out and 15 seconds later the guy standing outside the class telling students when to go in told me that I cleared the interview. Of course I did
I was sent to a room where all the selectees were sent. A floor above us all the technical interview selectees were seated. It was time for a 30 min lunch break so the panel left and so did we. On coming back, we were sent to the 4th floor while the guys sitting in that room (the ones who had already cleared their Tech interviews) went to our room. Now the wait began for the Tech interview. Unlike all the rounds prior to this, I didn’t have to wait. My name was on the 3rd list. So I was outside the room which would decide my fate. The guy calls in the first girl and takes her interview for 30 mins. The next girl goes in and spends 25 mins.. Now its my turn. I want to drink water and I have none! So I’m at the cooler trying to get water but there is none! Just then the co-ordinator says the interviewer is ready for me.. oh shiz
I go in.. he is just about to ask me something when a cup of tea comes for him. He offers me a glass but I declined saying I’d rather have water. He gives me his bottle. I drink and say “Sir, there’s no water on the floor.. I was just trying to get some from the cooler..”. He calls in the co-ord and says “What’s going on? Students want water and there is none! Go get the guys waiting outside some water” ’twas funny
The interview started and he asked me to describe myself then asked me to tell him what subjects I had.
The trend in the technical interview was if you are from Comps/IT/Elex/ExTC you’d be asked one set of electronics questions and one set of coding questions
I was asked about microprocessors first. The definition and the block diagram. Then an explanation how the ADD operation would work.
Next I was asked the difference between C and C++. He then saw my resume and asked me about my testing experiences. Then he asked me to rate myself in my C skills (looking at the competitions I’ve won and projects I’ve worked on). I said I was a 4 on a 1-5 scale (didn’t want to go too high.. always leave scope for improvement). He said I should write an algorithm to find the largest number out of 100 numbers. I’m like.. err linear sequential search is an inefficient yet simplest method. I gave it 5s for better methods then said “Linear sequential search, though inefficient, is the simplest for the task at hand.” I wrote down the algorithm and he jotted down my evaluation. He asks me the number of iterations and I said n for n numbers then he asked me if I was sure and I changed it to n-1. He asked me again and I stuck with it. Next, I was asked about different test cases and he was taking tone as if to suggest I was wrong. For a second I though I might have fuxed the simplest algorithm in the world in haste.. but I didn’t. I showed him with a few example inputs. He followed up with more test cases and I provided all possibilities with explanations. He saw that I was confident of my answer and I knew that I was right. And then it was over!
He walked out of the room with me to the co-ordinator asking him for something. When I asked the co-ordinator where to go, the interviewer said “go straight and then right.. you’ll see some students there.. you’ll know which room to go from there.” I’m like “OK 8-)”
I go there and it turns out to be a room full of the people who got selected But I wasn’t told that I was so my friends told me to confirm with the co-ordinator and so I did. As it turned out, the interviewer sent me there just so that I don’t wait 2 minutes for my result sheet to be processed and me to be told, lol
So there you have it, I have a job at Accenture
Overall stats:
People for aptitude test: 1438

Test Paper : 8

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 5TH APRIL AT IICMR,PUNE

Hi, This is Swapnil Kanade from Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Management & Research, Pimpri. I was selected in Accenture on 5th April, 2008. Here are the details:
Location of Test: IICMR, Nigdi, Pune.

Selection Process:
1. Aptitude test of 55 questions having 55 marks. Date: 29th March 2008.
2. Group Discussion and HR & Technical Interviews. Date: 5th April 2008.

Candidates from MCA and Engineering Colleges around Maharashtra were invited for Campus selection.

The aptitude was conducted by MeritTrack for Accenture. It contained English section, Mathematical Aptitude and Reasoning section. A key to solving these is to download and solve previous question papers from Freshers’ world. The questions are easy. Just solve them fast as the time is just 60 minutes.
After those sixty minutes, 5 minutes are given for writing an essay. This will be evaluated in the interviews. Our topic was “Artificial Intelligence.” I finished the test in 50 minutes and utilized the remaining 10 minutes for thinking on the topic. Do not start writing essay unless you are told to do so. In fact, we were given only 3-3.5 minutes. You should write the full page for the essay.
The results of aptitude are conveyed to your TPO. Out of 36 students of our college, 11 were selected for GD’s. The overall selections at this stage were 211.
The next rounds were held at the same place one week later, on 5th April. It started at 9.20 a.m. We were given a PPT on Accenture. Listen to the PPT carefully. Remember the motto of Accenture: High Performance. Delivered.

After the PPT, we were divided into groups of 12-14 each and taken to GD halls.
My group’s topic was “Do ends justify means?” The GD conductor talks to you before the GD and explains the criteria etc. Please make sure you have great command over English and you do speak up at least a couple of times. Listening is more important and I was successful in leading the overall GD. I listened to others carefully. So guys were mostly addressing me. I also made sure that no one dominated and gave some ladies chance to put their views. This ability of handling your team is very important.
Other GD topics were “Evolution of Education System in India from 1990 onwards,” and “Globalization”.

111 candidates were selected for Interview round. From our college, 4 made it to next round.
We were then given some forms where you fill in your information, location preferences etc. Then one-by-one, we were called for interviews. I had to wait a lot as my turn came only at 3:30 p.m. The HR and Technical Interviews were conducted by two persons simultaneously in different halls. (Pipelining!) Those who would pass one kind of interview would then be sent for the other. I was first sent for HR.

HR Interview:
I first tapped the door gently and opened it, asking for the permission to come in. After getting it, I got in and walked upto the table and greeted the HR, who was a sober man in his 30’s. He looked very serious, but was in fact were kind. I sat on the chair only after being told to do so. He had my resume and copies of certificates with him which he was reading. After a while, he fired the first salvo at me by asking me to introduce myself. The questions were as follows:
1.Tell me something about yourself.
I talked about myself and my strengths and weaknesses, my objective etc. Make sure your introduction lasts no more than 1-1.5 minutes.
2.How can you prove that you are creative?
This question came as I had said that I had quoted ‘creativity’ as my strength. I gave the example of my pencil shading hobby.
3.Give me an example of your perfectionist attitude.
I said that I work on my paintings and portraits for several drafts unless I am satisfied with them.
4.Do you have any of your sketches with you now
5.I said, “Sorry, I don’t.”
6.Tell me about your family background.
I stressed on the loving bond we share in our family. Try to say something about all your family members.
7.Can you tell me a situation where your suggestion/creativity helped your team achieve some innovation
I gave example of our 3rd semester project.
8.And a situation where your team failed in achieving its objective because of your mistake?
“I am a trekker. We have a trekking club in our town. Once we had arranged a trek to one fort called Bhairavgad. It was quite difficult ascent and I was required to go first and tie rope for the others. Unfortunately I could not climb the point with steep ascent and we had to abandon the trek altogether. But the very next week, we again went there and this time we made it to the top.”
9.Who is your idol
I said, “Sachin Tendulkar. As he is a high performer and still keeps his feet firmly on ground. I wish to perform like him and still maintain my humility.”
10.But when Sachin scores a century, our team looses, right?
“It is a team effort and everyone has to contribute his best. And the team leader has to make sure they do.”
11.How did you come to know about Accenture
“From one of our seniors who was placed in Accenture a couple of years ago. I was very much impressed with the global look of Accenture that he described.”
12.What do you mean by Global look?
“It is the global presence. This gives Accenture the great mix of different cultures and I like to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. That’s one of my strengths. I will get an opportunity to explore the same at Accenture. Hence I really admire it.”
13.Which company do you admire the most other than Accenture?
“I like Infosys.”
14.Why?
“It has done very well as a Corporate Citizen. I especially was impressed with their ‘Infosys Foundation’ headed by Mrs. Sudha Murthy. I have read her books like ‘Wise and Otherwise’. The foundation has been doing a lot of social work and philanthropy in various remote parts of the country. This suits my nature of helping others in achieving their goals. Hence I admire Infosys very much.”
15.Have you appeared for any other company’s test before?
“Yes, KPIT.”

The interview lasted for 20 minutes. I wished the HR a good day and came out. After 5 minutes I was told that I cleared the HR.

Technical Interview :
The next round was Technical interview. After half an hour, my turn came. The interviewer was a lady in her mid-forties. She was very cultured, soft-spoken and refined.
She was a HR and most of the questions she asked were of HR type. It went somewhat like this:
1.You said that your idol is Sachin Tendulkar, right? Why?
“That’s because he is a high achiever and perfectionist. He can deliver high performance time to time and in spite of the reverence he gets from the world, he is so down-to-earth. I wish my success doesn’t go to my head at any stage of my life.”
2.Tell me something about your family.
This question was a repeat. I gave similar answer.
3.Why was your score so less in 12th standard?
I explained the reasons.
4.You have done B. A.?
I said, “Yes.”
5.What was your major?
“Political Science.”
6.Why did you choose Political Science?
“It is the enveloping subject for all other subjects of the world, as it creates the framework within which other subjects like economics and even science and technology evolve. It gives you the opportunity to study the diverse cultures and political setups of different countries. This enables me to understand the socio-cultural mindsets of their people. This in turn helps me in effectively interacting with them.”
7.Then why did you not go for IAS?
“In fact, I had started preparing for Civil Services Examination. I wanted to go in the Indian Foreign Service. But later I realized that I won’t get the kind of freedom and power to push forward my vision and opinions or aggressive strategies. I also had a liking for technology, so I chose MCA after B. A.”
8.Why do you love technology?
“I am a creative person. Just like canvas, brushes and color palette are tools for creativity in arts, technology is the tool for expressing your creativity. Besides, I also love working with machines.”
9.How did you develop interest in technology?
“When I first learnt C, I was very much impressed with its power of making the machines work for you, according to your wishes. That fetched
me closer to technology.”
10.You said that you want to go into Systems Programming, right?
Actually I had not said so. But still I answered affirmatively. “Yah, Systems Programming is domain that puts high demands on you for utmost creativity, supreme command over languages and thorough understanding of the architectures and other details. So, one who has a liking for details will surely succeed in that.”
11.And then what about Application Programming?
“I like Application Programming also as it involves interacting with people. You have to understand their needs and preferences. The interfaces have to be user-friendly. So, if one can understand the preferences and psychology of people, one can really develop successful applications. The study of different cultural setups helps in this stuff. Hence I can do equally well in this area also.”
12.What are your strengths?
“My ability of communication, soft skills, my creativity and my technical knowledge are some of my strengths. I can work well in teams and can lead them also.”
13.Can you write a C program for 2X3 & 3X1 matrix multiplication?
I wrote the program. She asked me to explain the logic of the program. She also asked me why the order of the matrices is important. I explained.
14.111 candidates have been short-listed from GD for interviews. What’s in you that sets you apart from others?
“My USP is my communication skills and my ability of interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. This will help me in dealing with our clients and I am particularly eager to work in Accenture as it has people from all over the globe. I am really excited at the prospect of working with the company having global look.”
15.Can you give me an example of how you can communicate across cultural backgrounds?
“Well, I have a zeal for talking to people especially from backgrounds of other than mine. For example, I have a vast network of friends, most of whom are from different states, even from different countries, speaking different languages. I can interact with them because of my observing, analyzing and empathizing skills. My cross-domain experience and knowledge helps me a lot. I am sure I will have similar success with Accenture as well.”
16.Why should I select you?
“Accenture will select me only if it thinks and is satisfied that I am the right candidate for the job. Let’s think from Accenture’s perspective. What it will look for in a candidate is the soft skills, strong domain knowledge, communication skills, ability of working in teams, leadership qualities, global viewpoint, creativity, and so on. And I think I have it all in me.”
Here I again stressed on soft skills.
17.Where do you see yourself after three years from now?
I gave a diplomatic answer to this question. I said, “I don’t know exactly how fast careers grow in Accenture, but generally speaking I see myself as at least a System Analyst. Not three years as such, but say, five years.”
18.Any other company you appeared for before? What was the result?
“I had appeared in KPIT aptitude test on the very next day after the aptitude of Accenture. But I could not clear the test.”

The interview lasted for 25 minutes. The last question she asked was “You want to ask me anything?” I was a bit surprised at the timing of the question. I just said, “Well, nothing as such!” Then she thanked me. I wished her a good day and left the room. After a while, the person outside the door told me that I was selected and tried to shake hand with me. But I couldn’t because my friend literally hugged and lifted me up in excitement. I was then busy receiving calls from all my college-mates and friends. Success is really very sweet. And when it comes in the form of placement, you suddenly feel a kind of relief from all your worries and tensions!

From almost 2000 candidates, 211 cracked the aptitude test. 111 candidates cleared the GD round. And finally who made it to Accenture were just 33, a majority of whom were girls. There was a sad edge to my success- I was the only student from all candidates of our D. Y. Patil Pratishthan to get selected in Accenture. I will really miss my friends. I take this opportunity to thank them for their support.

Tips for successful placement:
First, please work well on your soft skills. Merely having fluency is not enough; you should have the ability of conveying your thoughts across clearly. You must have well manners and etiquettes.

Second, do a SWOT analysis of yourself and stress on your strengths in all answers. Remember, questions pop up from your previous answers. Hence, it is in your hands how to direct the interview flow.

Next, gather information about the company from various sources. Try to find out what the company wants. Also work on your GK as some of my colleagues were asked questions on it.
It is a popular myth about Accenture that it only seeks fluency in English. It also wants its employees to give a high performance. Hence having technical knowledge is also very important.
Believe in yourself. Be polite, but firm. Don’t get disturbed if you are cross checked. Keep your ears open for any clues.
Develop some novel ways of answering. For example, the way I answered the question “why I should select you?”
Just be relaxed and calm, poise. Have a great self-confidence.

questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from ques 16 - 20... I will suggest you all to do the comprehensions at last.. and attempt the first comprehension before than the second one...coz according to my experience first comprehensions are always easier than the second one...

TIPS : DO THE COMPREHENSIONS AT LAST AND ALWAYS READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE PASSAGE...NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME IN READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE..

2nd section : consists of 20 questions which is based on quantitative as well as verbal and non-verbal...
It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagram,time and work,percentage,time and distance,directions,blood relations,and the most important topic LOGIC (syllogism) which is the first chapter of the second part of R.S.AGGARWAL (verbal & non-verbal)...prepare these chapters very nicely...

a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient
Ans: a
(These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not)

Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types:
Example of type 1:
If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-
8+4-9*7/12+3
Example of type 2:
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true:
a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. ..
(The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two)..

NOTE: Friends i will suggest you all to start with this section...first do the question 41 - 45 and then do the questions from 50 - 52...and then do whatever u like....coz these questions are v.v.v.v.easy.. and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8 questions.. if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very much time consuming...

IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST:

FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN QUANTITAVE...

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL :
1) LOGIC (syllogism).
2) DATA SUFFICIENCY.

Rahul was born on Dec.10,1979 and is a captain of Ranji team since Feb 2005. He won man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is:
a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient
Ans: a
(These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not)

Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types:

Example of type 1 :
If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-
8+4-9*7/12+3

Example of type 2 :
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true:
a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. ..

(The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two)..

NOTE: Friends i will suggest you all to start with this section...first do the question 41 - 45 and then do the questions from 50 - 52...and then do whatever u like....coz these questions are v.v.v.v.easy..and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8 questions..if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very much time consuming...

IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST :

FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN QUANTITAVE...

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL :
1) LOGIC (syllogism).
2) DATA SUFFICIENCY.
3) LOGIACL VENN DIAGRAM.
4) DIRECTION SENSE TEST.
5) BLOOD RELATIONS.
6) PUZZLE TEST.

QUANTITATIVE :
1) TIME AND WORK.
2) TIME AND DISTANCE.
3) RATIO AND PROPORTION.
4) PERCENTAGE.
5) PROBLEMS ON TRAINS.
6) BOATS AND STREAMS.
7) PIPES AND CISTERNS.
8) PROFIT AND LOSS.

Do only these chapters which i have mentioned ....its more than sufficient...and yaeh once again emphasize more on verbal and non-verbal rather than quantitative...coz 70% are from verb&non-verb and 30% are from quanti....in comparision to these two...

After the completion of 60 minutes we were asked to write an essay in 10 minutes time and word limit was atleast 100 words and the topic was "US recession and its impact in the IT industry"....dont bother about the essay much, just make it sure that u have to fill that page with correct grammatical statements...it does not play an role in clearing ur aptitude...it is checked by the HR usually during ur HR interview and it may happen that no one bother to check it also...

2) GROUP DISCUSSION :
The topic which was given to us was "liberalisation"... time limit was 10 minutes...12 students were there in a group, a topic was thrown and you all have to share your views regarding that given topic...they selected only 5 students from each group of 12...so you can see that you have to give ur best effort and you wont get much chance to speak also coz it so happens sometimes that they make the GD go by person to person clockwise..

TIPS : Initially they may ask you to introduce urself...and u have to hit in this very moment only ..ur introduction shud be very strong...then u will 2 - 3 chances to speak on the topic.....friends u have to be louder and clear during your GD...with full of passions...

3) HR INTERVIEW :
Questions were like: Tell me sumthing about yourself which is not there in the CV...then what do u do in your leisure time...then how can you prove that you have managerial skills...and then few questions were asked which was related to my answers...i m not writng all those things coz answers vary from person to person...all i wanna say is dat u need to be very much confident during your interview,there should be smile on your face,eyes contact with the HR is a must...

4) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW :
First of all HR asked me to introduce myself...then he asked me what do u do in your leisure time..then he asked me what are your favourite subjects...then he gave me a program and asked me 2 answer hm whether this program will run or not...then he told me dat i m giving u 16 seconds..u have to sell urself...then he gav me some situation reaction test which i answered wonderfully...

In situation reaction test they just want to see how good you are as a leader as well as a team member and how hard working , determined and confident you are...

FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL U THE STATISTICS....899 STUDENTS APPEARED.....266 CLEARED THE APTITUDE...115 CLEARED THE GD....AND AT LAST ONLY 41 WERE SHORTLISTED AFTER THE TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW....AND I M REALLY GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM AMONG ONE OF THEM...................FRIENDS!!!! ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF ACCENTURE....... THAT " YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT ".......WISH U AL DA VERY BEST AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AT ACCENTURE...

Directions for Questions 11-15 : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20 : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG. DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG. DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box.

The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success

3I-INFOTECH PAPER ON 6TH APRIL,2008
Test Date : 6 April 2008

Hi guys, This is vivek. I gave 3i-infotch written exam on 6 april-08.The written paper consisted of 3 sections. First one was English.2nd was apti,3rd was reasoning. Actually it contained all 3 section in a single paper so we had liberty to attempt any one first. About written exam I can only say that it was pretty easy but all u have to do is to pay attention on time. You will get 90 min & u will b given 150 ques .That is 50 ques from each section. I attempted 18 ques from apti,23 from reasoning and and around 25 ques from English. Actually before exam I had in mind to attempt 20 ques from each section as there was sectional cut off. But in exam i wasn’t able to manage tht. I m writing in brief about written below:

Aptitude:
Its really very easy but there u have to b little fast in calculations. Go through data Interpretation for sure. We had 3 ques from tht.2 from pie chart,1 from table. all had 5 ques in them. so 15 ques over all from DI.

REASONING :
All I can say is go through rs agrawal verbal book. I' m absolutely sure tht u ll do well in this section then.

ENGLISH:
Simple English. Although passages might consume your some time. What I did was I skipped passages. and attempted other questions b’se this was my last section & I didn’t have time. but really grammar and all were very easy so it took very less time.
They declared its result after around one month. then on 18,19,20 July -08 they called shortlisted candidates for gd & interview. We had 12 guys in our batch & the topic they gave us was: IS ETHICS REQUIRED IN BUSINESS. And ya before gd they passed a sheet to all of us and gave us 5 min time to think . They also requested us not to make it fish market. Well 5 out of 12 they selected. fortunately I was in this 5.

Then 1 by 1 they called us for interview. In this they asked very traditional interview ques. About me, weaknesses, where u wish to see yourself after 5 yrs and all. And ya finally they asked me to “do u have passport” for which i replied I don’t. so they said apply for it as it will b required and u may b asked to show it b4 training. So better u have your passport. It can b your positive point.

Well interview result will b declared in October. i just hope I'll clear this final barrier as well.
