Type of interview: ON-campus Interview

Accenture is a multinational company for professional services, which conducted its pool campus drive in our college last year. I was very excited when our training and placement officer informed us about the same. We were asked us to assemble in the auditorium a fewdays prior to the interview process, and he gave us a brief overview of the company, its eligibility criteria, and interview process. Also, he shared the link to apply for the exam. I started my preparation for the exam as soon as I received my exam details. I also started looking for previous questions to get an idea of how to get selected for the exam, where I
came to know about the Prepinsta material. I immediately bought the material online and started my preparation as it covered almost everything I needed. The eligibility criteria informed to us was 60% marks throughout the academic career with no current backlogs. We were informed that the first round would be communication assessment, and only those students who cleared that round will be moved forward for the online test, technical interview, and HR interview.

Round 1: Communication Assessment Test
This was the first round, and it was divided into 6 sections that included Reading, Repeating, Question Answer, Sentences building, Story Telling, and Open questions. Everyone got only 20-30 seconds to answer each question orally. The following are thequestions asked in those 6 rounds.

Reading- In this round we were supposed to speak a sentence for recording whose text was displayed on the screen. The section had six different sentences, and I was asked to read 3 questions out of it.

Repeating Sentences- An audio clip consisting of a single sentence was played, you have to listen to that sentence and speak it for recording. The section had around twelve different audio clips.

Question Answer- Here I was given around 24 simple questions which were asked by the system, and I was asked to understand the question properly and tell the answers for recording.

Sentences building/jumbled sentences - Here, a sentence was given that was sliced into three parts, and the three parts were spoken in a jumbled way. I was required to listen to it and speak out the corrected form of the sentence. The length of the sentences was increasing with every subsequent sentence. Around 6-12 questions were asked.

Story Telling- A short story of around one minute was spoken in a stretch. I was asked to listen to the story, understand the gist, remember the characteristics, locations, happenings and tell the summary of the story in around 30-40 seconds.

Open Questions- It was like an HR round. HR question was asked and one minute was
given to answer those questions. I successfully cleared the first round and was asked to wait until I receive a mail regarding the further rounds.

Round 2 - Accenture Online Test
The round second was divided into two different sections, Cognitive Test and Technical
Test. 90 minutes were given to complete the two tests.

● Cognitive Test - This round contains 3 sections. Each section consisted of 20 questions and time given was 20 minutes. This round contained Quantitative aptitude, analytical reasoning, and written communication questions.

Quantitative aptitude section was quite tough as the time given was not sufficient. Some of the topics were directional Sense, Coding-Decoding, mensuration, ages, percentage, sentence completion, and some more verbal questions.

● Technical Assessment - This round was divided into two sections: Fundamentals of
Programming and Pseudocode. The time given to complete this round was 30
minutes. 20 questions were from Fundamental of Programming, and 10 questions
were from Pseudocode.

I managed to clear the paper with the help of Prepinsta material and was selected for the next
round that took place the very next day at the college campus. We were asked by our
placement officer to carry one copy of the updated resume, original mark sheets till 7th
semester, and 2 passport-sized photos.

Technical Interview Round
After the written test, I was selected for the face to face technical round. When I entered the
room there were 5 interviewers. The questions asked were related to their final year project
and its subject. Some of the technical questions asked to me were:

1. A brief interview about my last semester project and my role in it.
2. What is core C and C++?
3. What is polymorphism and explain Oops concept?
4. Explain at least 3 basic concepts/ features of OOPS.
5. What are recursive functions? Give three examples.
6. What can you tell us about the latest android version M and how is it different from
others?

HR Round

After the Technical interviews round the last was the HR interview. The final interview was
taken by the HR of the company. When I went inside, he asked me for my resume. He then
asked me what I know about the company and why I want to join here. He asked me more
basic questions, and some of them were:
● What was your final year project, and what was your role in it?
● Do you prefer to work on the front-end or the back-end in a project?
● Would you be okay if relocated to some other city?
● What are your salary expectations?
The interview went well, and I was pretty confident to get through it. When the interview got
over, we were told to wait for the mail concerning our results. After a week I got the mail that
I was selected for the job.
