Candidate-Experiences

Hi Guys,

I am Roshan Tiwari from Anand Engineering College, Agra got placed in Accenture drive on 17th and 18th Sep 2010 in SJBIT,Bangalore one of my dream company it was a great day for me and that was my day.
 
There were 3000+ students after aptitude and GD there were 250 (Huge cut here).

Finally selected 150

There were 4 rounds

Aptitude test conducted by meritrack people(Elimination Round):

Questions = 55 ; time limit = 60 minutes along with that an essay to write in the same sheet in another 10 minutes. No sectional cut off, no negative marking. Offline (paper & pen) test

3 Questions on fill in the blank  preposition.

4 Questions on Articles

3 Questions on synonym

2 Questions of antonym

10-15 Questions on Maths aptitude

10 Questions Attention on details etc.

Or * is +, + is /,/is+ and – is * then what is the value of 16*2+5-7

Write essay carefully bcoz in HR round they will read your views.

My topic was “Indian education system”.

GD (Elimination Round):

There were 12 in my group HR told us to choose the topic within 1 min then he gave us 1 min to note down your view.

Then he told to Start. Our Topic was “Uniform should be there in professional colleges or not”.

One guy started the GD but he just spoke 2-3 point with low confidence and somewhat irrelevant or very normal only that guy was not selected so only 1 rejection in my group.

In other groups there were more rejections.

So please if you are gonna start the GD please give relevent point with confidence other wise please don't start

I told 3-4 points like Uniformity, Team Spirit and about personality traits and how they are related to uniform. Every one given the same points but mine Personality traits point HR liked very much and he had been already ticked my name. 
 
On next day they told us to come with 2 photocopies of each of the original certificate and identity Proof Likes PAN card or Driving License or Voter ID or College ID etc. They give Accenture employment form please fill it correctly and carefully because HR and TR will ask question about your background like where you belong and questions about your city and all.

 

Some students got TR first and some got HR first.

I got my HR first

ME: Sir since 3 months.

TR: You didn’t get any job yet.

ME: No sir I didn’t get any job (please even if you have offer letter from other company please don’t say about that otherwise you are digging your own grave)

TR: Then he asked why?

ME: I don’t know sir may be my communication skills was not very good while I was answering he was busy in seeing my resume but I didn’t stop and told that I know sir it is bad for me but I’m working on it.

TR: Ok Roshan thank you (I was surprised no technical questions and I’m nervous that what will happen).

He told me to wait outside.

ME: Ok sir thank you sir good day sir (even your entering and walking style is checked so be careful).

After 2 minutes coordinator told me that I have cleared this round and told me to wait where all selected candidates were waiting

I was in the 7th heaven and very happy

After 2 hous when each student finished their all rounds there was a cross checking done by meritrack people about %age, GAP in Education, year of passing etc etc

They rejected 4 students in cross verification.

At that time all are afraid that may be they will reject most of us because we were 150 there

But after 10 minutes one senior HR came and told

You want your offer letters

We all screamed in unison yes sir

He told ok wait

Then they came up with a bundle of Offer letters called name one by one we filled our offer letter details (there were 2 copies 1 for us and 1 for Accenture)

And finally got offer letter. So please be confident and honest never try to bluff them they are very smart

Please be your self and success will be yours

See you in Accenture
