ACCENTURE-04
Accenture has five selection rounds, all are elimination rounds
Round I
This is an aptitude round, there are 3 sections,
Section I: English (Vocab, Comprehension etc)
Section II: Aptitude (R.S. Agarwal should be suffecient)
Section III: Reasoning, pickup any GRE book , it should be sufficient
The aptitude round is pretty much simple
Round II
THis is a GD round, this is also elimination, SO don't forget to make a
point, they don't normally see how relevant you speak, its just that you
should speak something and make yourself heard.
Round III
This is an HR round, this is also an elimination round, it will be a
casual
talk, for god sake
don't say any thing contoversial and don't contradict
yourself.
Round IV
This is a technical round, they will normally ask you questions
pertaining
your field of interest and will focus on the projects that you have done,
you should be able to talk about your projects with confidence.
Round V
This is a combination of hr and technical , again the same stuff is
repeated,you need to just hold on , coz you are almost there.
The bottom line is that you should be a good communicator and show
confidence,

the test was easy. there were
60 questions( 60 mins). Can anyone of you tell me what
are we expected to study for the interview.
The pattern: (for the JAVA
people. There was separate process for .Net and Mainframe people).
The process consisted of:

2. GD
3. HR Interview
4. Tech Interview
5. Final Interview

ques. in 30 min. Qoes. from EJB (5-6 ques), JSP/servelts (3-4 ques), UML (2

internet chatting in IT companies be allowed, Shud ragging be banned etc... No
