ACCENTURE PAPER ON 7th SEPTEMBER 2007
Hi "T"anmay I am frm Indore IPS coll... Accenture had a written exam in Inodre in my coll on 7th Sept and around 2000 ppl appeared.. it was a off campus stuff so very few got selected.. hardly 200.. I was one of them... then we had our interview, GD and process in Bhopal. There was a written exam. a GD and 2 interviews.. techincal and HR.
The written had 3 section and they were the same as previoius papers so do go through as many papers u can.. and wat i did was i went thru this site that was all and i got all wat i needed.. so check everything here.
Then there was a GD first and the topic i had was "Should religion be brought in Education"... some other topics were "Cricket or hockey which shud be national game"... "E-Learning Vs. Conventional Learning".. The GD was a round where they notice u alot so be confident.. be alert and active... all u need is a bit of fluent English and confidence... talk the right thing and jus do enough so that u come in notice that shud do it. jus be confident and fluent.. thats wat i found the key point... we were 12 ppl put of which only 3 got thru including ME!!!
After the GD some ppl had HR some techincal... I had my techincal firsrt and since I am from Computers branch .. he aked me alot frm my subjects... like... Data communication (OSI)... Software Engg(SDLC)... techincal was for real and it was good... he made a Binary unsorted tree on paper and asked me to sort it with the whole procedure... then after that he wrote a matrix 3x3 ka contaning 123456789 and asked me to write the transpose of it.. i was happy at the simple Ques. but jus as i wrote it he said.. now write a C code to do the same...but fortunately i was able to do it... so have some practicle and clear approach.. thats wat they notice.. ur approach to a problem... he also asked abt OOPs concepts and its main points... then abt project and also if u have like a bit less % in ur 10th or 12th .. then be prepared to make up for it.. i had 69% in 12th and 60% in 10th so he siad "why so less in 10 12" ... i said "Sir i was young and not focused... but with time i realised the importance of education and responsibilties and so started improving myself... and so on...
After taht i had my HR which was hardly 5mins.. he asked abt me.. my background.. if i am ok with any terms and services.... and he asked me abt any year gap.. well ppl i have a Year back in my career after 2nd yr.. so i told him yes i do and gave a valid reason for it too... and it did it all.. before i was worried that a year gap mite lessen my chances.. but Accenture still took me means.. its ur personality and knowledge that matters and not marks.. provided u staisfy them.. and yes after the back my marks always went higher and i have a 70.4% degree in hand now!!... anyways don worry abt gaps and be confided!!!
Well after 5000 ppl apearing .. hardly 80 go selected and I am one of them.. :)!!!
To sum up i wud like to say.. be prepared for all kind of written exams with time management skills... be very confident alert and active in GD... have knwloedge of ur subjects... and remmber when u go to the interview... keep in mind.. its they who want a employee and not u who want a job... So be confident and show that grace in ur face,, with a smile to make them feel pleasant... so best of luck to all hope this was help and see u all there take care!!!
