What are turnaround time and response time? Answer: Turnaround time is the interval between the submission of a job and its completion. Response time is the interval between submission of a request, and the first response to that request. What is data structure? Answer: A data structure is a way of organizing data that considers not only the items stored, but also their relationship to each other. Advance knowledge about the relationship between data items allows designing of efficient algorithms for the manipulation of data. List out the areas in which data structures are applied extensively? Answer: The name of areas are: Compiler Design, Operating System, Database Management System, Statistical analysis package, Numerical Analysis, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Simulation What are the major data structures used in the following areas : RDBMS, Network data model & Hierarchical data model.

Answer: The major data structures used are as follows: RDBMS - Array (i.e. Array of structures) Network data model - Graph Hierarchical data model - Trees What is the data structures used to perform recursion? Answer: Stack. Because of its LIFO (Last In First Out) property it remembers its 'caller' so knows whom to return when the function has to return. Recursion makes use of system stack for storing the return addresses of the function calls. Every recursive function has its equivalent iterative (non-recursive) function. Even when such equivalent iterative procedures are written, explicit stack is to be used. Predict the output or error(s) for the following: void main() { int const * p=5; printf("%d",++(*p)); } Answer: Compiler error: Cannot modify a constant value. Explanation: p is a pointer to a "constant integer". But we tried to change the value of the "constant integer". main() { char s[ ]="man"; int i; for(i=0;s[ i ];i++) printf("\n%c%c%c%c",s[ i ],*(s+i),*(i+s),i[s]); } Answer: mmmm aaaa nnnn Explanation:s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea. Generally array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i]. main() { float me = 1.1; double you = 1.1; if(me==you) printf("I love U"); else printf("I hate U"); } Answer: I hate U Explanation: For floating point numbers (float, double, long double) the values cannot be predicted exactly. Depending on the number of bytes, the precession with of the value represented varies. Float

takes 4 bytes and long double takes 10 bytes. So float stores 0.9 with less precision than long double. Rule of Thumb: Never compare or at-least be cautious when using floating point numbers with relational operators (== , >, <, <=, >=,!= ). List out few of the Application of tree data-structure? Answer: The list is as follows: The manipulation of Arithmetic expression, Symbol Table construction, Syntax analysis. List out few of the applications that make use of Multi linked Structures? Answer: The applications are listed below: Sparse matrix, Index generation. In tree construction which is the suitable efficient data structure? Answer: Linked list is the efficient data structure. What is the type of the algorithm used in solving the 8 Queens problem? Answer: Backtracking In RDBMS, what is the efficient data structure used in the internal storage representation? Answer: B+ tree. Because in B+ tree, all the data is stored only in leaf nodes, that makes searching easier. This corresponds to the records that shall be stored in leaf nodes. Whether Linked List is linear or Non-linear data structure? Answer: According to Access strategies Linked list is a linear one. According to Storage Linked List is a Non-linear one.

Top HR - Interview Questions and Answer for Accenture new Campus Recruitment 2012 | Download free HR interview Questions with Answers Sample HR Interview Questions From Experienced Candidate | Accenture Previous year interview Questions Don't just read these questions--practice and rehearse the answers. Don't let the company interview be the first time you have actually formulated an answer in spoken words. It is not enough to think about them in your head--practice! Sit down with a friend, a significant other, or your roommate (an especially effective critic, given the amount of preparation to date) and go through all of the questions. Make the most of every single interview opportunity by being fully prepared! Here are some of the standard questions that you can expect in the Interview!!! Tell me about yourself. This is the first question, you can expect during any interview you face. This usually is a question to start the communication and set the ball rolling for the interview. You can answer this question by providing

some information about your work experience, technologies you have worked upon, educational qualifications. If you are a fresh graduate, you can provide some information about your family also. The trick is to put the full stop at the right place to provoke the next question you want. For e.g. Recently I developed a website using Drupal. It was quite an interesting but challenging job which I enjoyed. What do you want to do with your life? Do you have any actual work experience? How would you describe your ideal job? Why did you choose this career? When did you decide on this career? What goals do you have in your career? How do you plan to achieve these goals? If you have never lead in the past, how would you do it in this role? If you know how to do the work and you have the right attitude, you can lead. Many times you will find yourself leading unofficially in the current role - it is more important to have the leadership traits. So, you can say that, I know the job well and I have the qualities which need me to lead here. So, I think I am ready to move on to a more challenging and responsible positions like this. If you face a problem with your own performance, what would you do? The purpose here is to see if you are able to identify the problems with your own performance and take corrective measures. To answer this question, you can say something like, "If I face a problem with my own performance, I will try to estimate how big is the problem, what is causing the problem and then take action on each of the listed things." How do you evaluate success? Describe a situation in which you were successful. What do you think it takes to be successful in this career? What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life? If you had to live your life over again, what would you change? Would you rather work with information or with people? Are you a team player? What motivates you? Why should I hire you? Are you a goal-oriented person? Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them. What are your short-term goals? What is your long-range objective? What do you see yourself doing five years from now? Where do you want to be ten years from now? Do you handle conflict well? What major problem have you had to deal with recently? Do you handle pressure well? What is your greatest strength? What is your greatest weakness? If I were to ask one of your professors to describe you, what would he or she say? Why did you choose to attend your college? What changes would you make at your college? How has your education prepared you for your career? What were your favorite classes? Why?

The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Paleocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental capacity, and special adaptations for different modes of life, during the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with reference to variety and size. The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees

(sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air (bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions. Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolutional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle becoming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth, plastic spread in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a characteristic of the evolution of life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life. 11. From the following, choose the most appropriate title for the above passage? From Dinosaur to Man Adaptation and Extinction The Superior Mammals The Geologic Life Span Man, the Vanquisher of the Physical World. Answer : B 12. According to the passage the chronological order of the geologic periods is: Paleocene, Miocene, Triassic, Mesozoic Paleocene, Triassic, Mesozoic, Miocene Miocene, Paleocene, Triassic, Mesozoic Mesozoic, Oligocene, Paleocene, Miocene Mesozoic, Paleocene, Eocene, Miocene Answer : E 13. From the above passage, we can infer that, the pterosaur resembled the bat was a Mesozoic mammal was a flying reptile inhabited the seas evolved during the Miocene period Answer : C 14. As inferred from the passage, the largest number of mammals were found in which of the following periods? Triassic period Eocene period Oligocene epoch Pliocene period Miocene period Answer : E 15. Among the following statements, which statement, if true, would weaken the argument put forth in the first sentence of Paragraph 1? It has been found that the tryannosaur had a larger brain, than was previously known. Within the next thousand years, mammals will become extinct. Recently certain forms of flying ichthyosaurs have been discovered. It has now been proved, that the tiger is more powerful than the carnivorous reptiles. It is now possible to double human mental capacity, by the use of certain recently developed computers. Answer : A

The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time. The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in the oldest Paleocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental capacity, and special adaptations for different modes of life, during the Eocene time. Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their peak with reference to variety and size. The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms. Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse, deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver), inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air (bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions. Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure. This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that early in its evolutional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal progresses in its cycle becoming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-certainly not from any specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth, plastic spread in

many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a characteristic of the evolutionof life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life. 11. From the following, choose the most appropriate title for the above passage? From Dinosaur to Man Adaptation and Extinction The Superior Mammals The Geologic Life Span Man, the Vanquisher of the Physical World. Answer : B 12. According to the passage the chronological order of the geologic periods is: Paleocene, Miocene, Triassic, Mesozoic Paleocene, Triassic, Mesozoic, Miocene Miocene, Paleocene, Triassic, Mesozoic Mesozoic, Oligocene, Paleocene, Miocene Mesozoic, Paleocene, Eocene, Miocene Answer : E 13. From the above passage, we can infer that, the pterosaur resembled the bat was a Mesozoic mammal was a flying reptile inhabited the seas evolved during the Miocene period Answer : C 14. As inferred from the passage, the largest number of mammals were found in which of the following periods? Triassic period Eocene period Oligocene epoch Pliocene period Miocene period Answer : E 15. Among the following statements, which statement, if true, would weaken the argument put forth in the first sentence of Paragraph 1? It has been found that the tryannosaur had a larger brain, than was previously known. Within the next thousand years, mammals will become extinct.

No sectional cut off , no negative marking.. questions were easy..all u need to do is planning which questions to attempt first and which one to attempt at last...and yeah 1 more thing ..you have to be very fast and u can achieve dat only through

regular practice..all u have to do is to solve few chapters from R.S.AGGARWAL ( verbal & Non-verbal as well as quantitaive)..i will suggest you some chapters ...you jus do those chapters properly and it will be more than sufficient for you... The Aptitude test paper is divided into 3 sections: 1st section :consist of 20 questions which is completely based on english... Questions 1 - 10 : These are very easy..its completly based on prepositions and fill in the blanks with correct articles...if u have a gud command in english then do it in the begining else do it some time later on after solving some easier questions which will mention later on... Questions 11 - 20 : questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from ques 16 - 20... I will suggest you all to do the comprehensions at last.. and attempt the first comprehension before than the second one...coz according to my experience first comprehensions are always easier than the second one... TIPS : DO THE COMPREHENSIONS AT LAST AND ALWAYS READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE PASSAGE...NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME IN READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE.. 2nd section : consists of 20 questions which is based on quantitative as well as verbal and non-verbal... It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagram,time and work,percentage,time and distance,directions,blood relations,and the most important topic LOGIC (syllogism) which is the first chapter of the second part of R.S.AGGARWAL (verbal & non-verbal)...prepare these chapters very nicely... 3rd section : consists of 15 questions which is v.v.v.easy, only a difficult portion can be of puzzle types.. questions are like : Q.41- Q.45 Mark the answers according to the following: A- If all the three options match B- If FIRST and SECOND options match C- If FIRST and THIRD options match D- If none of the three match Example: KKTUJNGDFTSR Ans: C

Another example: 1896.5738491023 1896.5783491023 1896.5738461023 Ans: D Q.46-Q.49 were based on the Puzzle-type question. It said: Following was the criteria decided by the selection committee of Indian Cricket Board: 1) Player's age should be 18-28 years 2) He must be the captain of any cricket team for at least 2 years 3) He must be a Ranji Player for at least 2 years 4) He must have taken at least 20 wickets or made 1000 runs in a calendar year in Ranji If 1st condition is not fulfilled .. referred to chairman If 2nd condition is not fulfilled .. he must be an all rounder with at least 500 runs and 15 wickets If 4th condition is not fulfilled .. referred to VP Questions were like following example:

Rahul was born on Dec.10,1979 and is a captain of Ranji team since Feb 2005. He won man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is: a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient Ans: a (These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not) Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types: Example of type 1: If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of8+4-9*7/12+3 Example of type 2: If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true: a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. .. (The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two).. NOTE: Friends i will suggest you all to start with this section...first do the question 41 - 45 and then do the questions from 50 - 52...and then do whatever u like....coz these questions are v.v.v.v.easy..and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8 questions..if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very much time consuming... IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST: FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN QUANTITAVE... VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL : 1) LOGIC (syllogism). 2) DATA SUFFICIENCY. 3) LOGIACL VENN DIAGRAM. 4) DIRECTION SENSE TEST. 5) BLOOD RELATIONS. 6) PUZZLE TEST. QUANTITATIVE : 1) TIME AND WORK. 2) TIME AND DISTANCE. 3) RATIO AND PROPORTION. 4) PERCENTAGE. 5) PROBLEMS ON TRAINS. 6) BOATS AND STREAMS. 7) PIPES AND CISTERNS. 8) PROFIT AND LOSS. Do only these chapters which i have mentioned ....its more than sufficient...and yaeh once again emphasize more on verbal and non-verbal rather than quantitative...coz 70% are from verb&non-verb and 30% are from quanti....in comparision to these two... After the completion of 60 minutes we were asked to write an essay in 10 minutes time and word limit was atleast 100 words and the topic was "US recession and its impact in the IT industry"....dont bother about the essay much, just make it sure that u have to fill that page with correct grammatical statements...it does not play an role in clearing ur aptitude...it is checked by the HR usually during ur HR interview and it may happen that no one bother to check it also...

2) GROUP DISCUSSION : The topic which was given to us was "liberalisation"... time limit was 10 minutes...12 students were there in a group, a topic was thrown and you all have to share your views regarding that given topic...they selected only 5 students from each group of 12...so you can see that you have to give ur best effort and you wont get much chance to speak also coz it so happens sometimes that they make the GD go by person to person clockwise.. TIPS : Initially they may ask you to introduce urself...and u have to hit in this very moment only ..ur introduction shud be very strong...then u will 2 - 3 chances to speak on the topic.....friends u have to be louder and clear during your GD...with full of passions... 3) HR INTERVIEW : Questions were like: Tell me sumthing about yourself which is not there in the CV...then what do u do in your leisure time...then how can you prove that you have managerial skills...and then few questions were asked which was related to my answers...i m not writng all those things coz answers vary from person to person...all i wanna say is dat u need to be very much confident during your interview,there should be smile on your face,eyes contact with the HR is a must... 4) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW : First of all HR asked me to introduce myself...then he asked me what do u do in your leisure time..then he asked me what are your favourite subjects...then he gave me a program and asked me 2 answer hm whether this program will run or not...then he told me dat i m giving u 16 seconds..u have to sell urself...then he gav me some situation reaction test which i answered wonderfully... In situation reaction test they just want to see how good you are as a leader as well as a team member and how hard working , determined and confident you are... FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL U THE STATISTICS....899 STUDENTS APPEARED.....266 CLEARED THE APTITUDE...115 CLEARED THE GD....AND AT LAST ONLY 41 WERE SHORTLISTED AFTER THE TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW....AND I M REALLY GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM AMONG ONE OF THEM...................FRIENDS!!!! ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF ACCENTURE....... THAT " YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT ".......WISH U AL DA VERY BEST AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AT ACCENTURE... ACCENTURE PAPER ON 28th APRIL AT INDORE Hello Friends, Im Rajat Dixit, now a part of accenture family. I got selected on April 28, 2008 . The campus was held at my college, Medicaps Institute of Technology and Management, Indore (M.P.). There were five colleges in all, 2 from Ujjain 3 from Indore . A total of 900 people were there out of which 55 were selected finally. I was one of them. It was my first try for the placement and I was placed!!! There were four rounds: Written Test Group Discussion Technical Interview HR Interview MY XP-RIENCE: 1. WRITTEN TEST First the written test was scheduled to take place on Apr. 27, 2008 in the evening, at 4pm . Well it was quite a wonderful experience to give a written test in the evening. We were studying for the paper in our college library since 8.30 am and reporting time was 2.45pm . We were seated in the classrooms at 3.30pm and the paper was started at 4.30 pm . There were about 18-20 rooms for 900 students for the written test. The paper was of 1 hour and 10 minutes. The topic for essay for our classroom was:

Challenges for IT industry in India . Paper was easy (Ill tell you about the paper later). Then we were told to wait for the result. They were about to declare result at 7.30 pm but it was finally declared at 8:45 pm. The students names were declared according to their sitting arrangement and variable numbers of students (somewhere 3 and somewhere 18) were selected from each class room. Our college has a beautiful campus, so it was looking more beautiful in the evening While we were waiting for the result, there was also power cut twice. We really enjoyed waiting for the result of the Test Paper. THE FIGURES: Around 150 were short-listed out of 900 people 2. GROUP DISCUSSION Next morning, on April 28, 2007 , we (150 students) were called at 8.00 a.m. for the presentation. I was right on the time. But the presentation started at about 10.15 am because of flight delay and late arrival of the delegates. Since it was my college, while waiting for the delegates, we accessed the website on the internet on the laptop that was connected to the projector for the students sitting in the auditorium. After sometime few delegates arrived in the auditorium, but were waiting for others to arrive. Meanwhile, delegates interacted with the students sitting in the auditorium. When the waiting became too long, they started the presentation. The presentation was good and full of important information. (Watch the presentation attentively it is important to collect the information about the company). The presentation ended at 12 pm . At the end of the presentation there was a small quiz of 5 questions. I was lucky I won a cool water jar for answering a question quickly! There were 8 GD rooms and 15 teams of 9, 10 or 11 in 1 team. Teams were declared in the auditorium (according to the list of students which was made during the selection in the written test, so luckily 5 people out of 10 in our team were classmates and 3 were MCA students of our college only). Our team was 12th or 13th, so we were seated in the waiting room for 10-15 minutes and then were called for the GD. First we were asked to give a topic. We gave the topic Downfall of India in Cricket WC 2007. But the delegate refused to discuss upon that. Then he gave us a topic, Are Indians loosing their culture with the growing economy? I was not giving too many points, but still I made 4 -5 important entries. More importantly, I was listening quite nicely. During the GD, when two people were saying simultaneously, I asked the less loud person to listen to the louder person first, once. I was also confident through out the GD. Two out of the group of 10 were asked to summarize the topic. 5 out of the group of 10 were selected. I was one of them. Remember, in GD, personality and confidence matter a lot. 5 of us were told to wait in the room and others were asked to leave. From there we were taken to another room where we were seated and asked to fill up a form. After that there was a lunch break ( 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm ). THE FIGURES: 71 were selected out of 150 for the interviews 3. TECHNICAL INTERVIEW We were asked to return to the same room after lunch and we did. It was now 2:45 pm and we were then asked to give the forms that we had filled. When they started calling the names of the people from whom they want the form, I found I was the first one of them! I didnt understand why they were asking for the form but then I came to know 10 of us were taken near the interview rooms, and asked to wait outside, I, being at the top of the list of 10! I then thought I cannot prepare for the interview now and then I didnt. After 5-10 minutes, we came to know 2 people were sent for the technical interview and 2 for the HR simultaneously. So, I and one of my classmate were sent for technical interview, and our another classmate and one more person was sent for the HR. Since I was the first person, as soon as I entered: He said- Hi (he was sounding cool, and he aged about 35-40) I paused for 3-4 seconds and said (with a cool smile that I came to a nice person) - Good Afternoon Sir!

He- Had your lunch? I- Yes sir! May I have a seat? He said (with a smile)- Oh yes, you are supposed to! I- Thank you Sir! He- Tell me something about you I- I did He asked (interrupting after about 20 seconds) - Have you done any project? I- Yes sir, I have recently completed my minor project in ASP.net, shall I tell something about it? He- Yes please go ahead! I- I have build up a portal website, so I explained everything along with the problems we faced and key learning. We were three members in a team and I explained the role of each and every one. I told him we are using Visual Studio 2005 with MS Access. I was the main designer in my team and others were handling the database entries. (He was impressed) He then asked- How did you connected with the database?

HR INTERVIEW As soon as I entered the room I found that it was the same lady who handed me the gift in the auditorium. Approaching her, I gave her a pleasant smile and I got the acknowledgment that she remember me, as soon as she also smiled. I- Good afternoon Mam She- Good afternoon I- May I have a seat? She- Sure, please (smiling) I- Thank you mam She said- So, Rajat.

tell what would you like to know more about me? She- Tell me about your hobbies (With a smile) I- I told her I play music and I have done a course in meditation and had learned about therapy as well. She- Can you please tell me about the therapy course (With a question mark on her face) I- I did She said- Ok! So, have you done any project? (She was evaluating all the time so rapidly as if she dont need to interview me. And I think, since the evaluation paper was same that was in TI, she read about my performance in the TI. That is why she was evaluating me fast and asked this question) I- I explained mentioning the technology, key learning and importance (but in 2 sentences, nontechnically). She- Why do you want to join accenture? I- I want to work with leaders She- There are leaders in every fields, so why accenture then?

I was convinced I am selected but they sent me in a control room and asked me to wait till the END. Since I was the 1st person to be interviewed, I waited alone in that room for 10 mins and then others started to join me. From there we were sent to another room where we waited upto about 7.00 pm and then result was declared in that classroom only.

Apply the same trick for answering the questions of the very long passage!!!

In the first pass, do all the less time consuming questions and leave the others. Then start the paper again to do the remaining questions. Doing this you may find that you have attempted 35-38 questions in half the time (in 30-33 mins). So dont feel low because paper is very easy! ESSAY-

FLUENCY- English must be fluent. If you face TI first, you should be fluent there as well because results are forwarded to HR and you get the advantage. SMART and GOOD LOOKING people They want you to be smart in your answers. And as per my experience, they prefer to choose good looking boy/girl. ALL THE BEST to all the accenture aspirants. Hope to meet you in accenture. Have a wonderful campus drive and get selected in just first chance!!!
