Hi Friends

I m K.J.Somaiya, a student of Mumbai University. The placement by Accenture was held on 25th June  07 in our campus......

First of all v have a aptitude test.. it consist of three section.. first is "verbal ability". this section is very easy. it has fill in the blanks, complete the sentence and 2 comprehensions whic r really easy... then v have maths section. I suggest u 2 do RS agrawal and only main chprs like.. percentage, profitloss, prblms on trains and boats. then there r prblms on codes...eg. if*means-,+means/,-means+ and +means/ then wht is the ans of 12+9-85/7.....

Maths section is very easy...then u have to write an essay...time duration for essay is 10min.. the topic for us was "wht do u expect from organisation"...

Once u get cleared in apti then they give their seminar...pls pls pls concetrate on wht all they say in seminar...note it down...they ask in HR interview for sure.....

After apti u have GD...GD is for 10  min.....the topic for us was "how can protect ur environment"... luckily the batch in which i was there was too co-operative... they were allowin everyone to spk... thts y out of 15 only 3 were rejected....else in other batch the rejection rate was more... I clrd the GD.....

After clrin GD I immediately went for technical interview... In accenture HR and technical interview goes simultaneously.. u can b called for ne interview first... if u pass ne of the interview then u r made to sit for the next interview....

The question asked in tehcnical interviw:-

The HR interview was for abt 20min......

There was suppose to b one more interview which is the "final interiveiw".. for tht the results of first thirty student who cleared both the tests were delared... I was one of them...but due to time limit and more number of students to b interviewed... the accenture panel cancelled the final interview and v got selected.....

out of 700 student frm 3 diff college... only 140 clrd apti.. out of them only 117 clrd GD and finally out of 117 students 64 were selected.....

All they check is ur confidence and honesty... I was lucky tht i didnt get C or C++ related questions.....but u must b thorough with atlst c and c++...if u r a non IT student then they ask question on basics of ur core subjects or may b they ask question on ur favourite sub...so b prepared.
