ACCENTURE PAPER ON 5th APRIL AT NOIDA

Rahulrathi

Accenture came to ur college on April 5,2008.About 800 students appeared out of which 400 cleared written,276 cleared GD and finally 176 were selected after tech and HR interviews

First round was written paper. There were 2 sets,each having three parts.

1.Verbal-20 questions

2.Quantative-20 questions

3.Analytical-15 questions

It was a 1 hr paper with sectional cutoffs and no negative marking.So,devote ur time properly on each section.

Analytical section was very easy.Try to attend it first.In verbal,there were two comprehensions.They were little bit difficult.First read questions and then comprehension. Correct use of prepositions and articles were there.I would advice u to go through verbal ability book of any MBA coaching.Quantative section was a little bit difficult. Mostly questions were from venn diagram applications,trains,distance and time,time and work,etc.

Next round was Group Discussion. Some of GD topics were as follows:

1.Impact of American elections on India

2.Single-party multiple party system

3.Media crossing limits

4.Alcohol or cigarette-which would u prefer?

5.Domestic companies and multi-national companies

6.ICL VS IPL

7.Reservation

9.Sex education

10.Education system of India

11. Impact of IT on India

12.Casteless society-possibility or myth?

13.Status of women in India

Other topics can be on inflation,economy of India and comparison it with China,and recent events. Results re announced hand to hand on ur face. There is no limit ,they can take any no. of students from a group.

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.
