Student Interview

I am a computer science student and wanted to join Accenture. Last year when our placement cell informed us about the Accenture on-campus drive in our college, I applied immediately for it. We have shared a link on our email to get registered with the company and apply for the first round. The first round was communication assessment test, and others were online test, technical interview round, and HR interview round. Further we were provided the information about the eligibility criteria, which stated that only those students who have scored 60% marks throughout the year and who have no current backlog could apply for the interview. I took help from my seniors and professors to crack the interview, and they suggested me to prepare from PrepInsta’s material for the same. After doing the registration, we received a link for the Communication Assessment.

Round 1: Communication Assessment Test

The communication assessment round was divided into 6 sections, which were, Reading, Repeating Sentences, Jumbled sentence, Question Answer, Story Telling, and Open questions. We were asked to give the test online on webcam on our PC or laptop or at any cyber café. These 6 sections included the question such as,

• Reading- In the reading section we were given a sentence to read. Total 8 sentences are there to read one after another. Your voice is recorded in the computer, and through this round they check your accent sharpness and pronunciation of the word.
• Repeating Sentences- In this round, an audio clip is there that asks you to repeat the sentence. And you have to the sentence in the same way the computer said.
• Question Answer- Here you will listen to a simple question being asked by the system, and you have to understand the question properly and speak the answer for recording. Around 24 questions will be there.
• Jumbled sentences - Here a sentence is divided into different parts and spoken to you in a jumbled way. You have to listen to it, and speak out the corrected form of the sentence. The length of the sentences increases after every sentence, and there are around 12 sentences.
• Story Telling- Here you will be listening a short story TWICE, and then you will repeat what you remember or a summary of it in 30 seconds.
• Open Questions- In this round, you will be asked simple questions about yourself. It is somewhat similar to the HR round.

Round 2: Accenture Online Test

The second round of Accenture was made up of two sections. The first one was cognitive test and second one was a technical test. The cognitive test included questions like:

The questions asked were of time & work, profit & loss, number, decimal fraction, time, speed & distance, geometry, coordinate geometry, and blood relations.

Logical Reasoning: This section included logical questions and . These questions had topics of coding, seating arrangement, blood relation, directional sense, and data sufficiency. 20 minutes were given to solve 20 questions.

Verbal - Finally verbal also had 20 questions and Reading comprehension, para jumbles etc were the most important topic in this.

Pseudo Code and Coding Test

The second round in the online test was technical test. This round included technical questions on Fundamentals of Programming and Pseudocode. The time given to complete this round was 30 minutes, and there were 30 questions. I cleared the paper with good percentile and was selected for the technical interview round.

Round 3: Technical Interview Round

I was confident for the technical round as I had gone through two interviews earlier and knew what type of questions were asked in it. Therefore, I prepared myself accordingly. The interviewer who took my interview was IT Software Engineer of the company. Some of the questions asked were:

• What are your preferred programming languages, and why?
• Properties of intrinsic semiconductor?
• What do you mean by multiple inheritances?
• What is the concept of Oops?
• Different types of modulation?
• Difference between C and C++?
• What is operator overloading
• What is the highest precision Datatype?
• Why do I want to go to an IT job?
• What is default constructor?

The interview got over in 1 hour, and I was informed that I cracked the technical interview and was selected for the HR round.

Round 4: HR Interview Round

When I entered the room the HR was seated there. I gave him my resume, and he asked me to sit. He began with the interview and asked me to tell something about me, which was not mentioned in the resume. He further asked me some questions about:

• Your most significant accomplishment.
• What most of people like you?
• Your hobbies and interest?
• What do you know about the company Accenture and its services?
• For how long you will work in the company?
• What are your goals and future plans?
• What was your final year project, and your role in it?

Finally, he asked me about my queries related to the company, its procedures, and norms. So, I asked him about the training procedure. One month after the interview, the results were announced, and I was selected.
