Placement Papers - Accenture

Hi Friends

Let me tell u about the whole procedure & hurdles u gotto overcome to get thru all the rounds & get recruited in ACCENTURE !!!

Although I didnot go thru any of the previous papers but later as I saw they were just true copy. So I suggest jst take an overview of what the pattern is even though it was very easy!!

SO, beginning with the recruitment drive of ACCENTURE... first was:

I. WRITTEN APTITUDE TEST: This had been divided into 3 sections:

i.Verbal Ability- comprising of fill up blanks with appropriate words, prepositions, conjunctions.... -2 passages: non-technical & technical.

ii.Quantitative & LR:- ques based on Venn diagram
BLOOD RELATIONS
Data Sufficiency

iii.Accuracy check : There was hardly anything u had to put brain into... just has 2 b done with concentration n carefully!!

This test was followed by an essay writting in 5 minutes on topic - "MY LAST 3 YEARS OF COLLEGE LIFE". Just keep ur fingers crossed as they wont take more than 15-20 minutes 2 declare the results. Though it was an easy round but elimination for many. only 156 cleared out of more than 1500-1800 students.

It was on next day that we were supposed to report at 11;30 a.m & the drive had to continue with PPT (Pre Placement Talk) but did not kickstart as per the schedule!!!

II.GROUP DISCUSSION: We were divided into 13 groups of 12 students each. It was a very properly & well-conducted round-table G.D.
Topic: "STING OPERATIONS- FORAGAINST" other topics given to group were: "India as a superpower". "Booming IT sector in India."

People at once tried speaking up all together making it a fish market but we were stopped n ever1 was given chance 2 speak. its better not 2 speak until ur not clear & comfortable with the topic n better listen 4 a while n then start speaking n if very comfortable just give it a bashful start & clinge 2 students olready done away with!!!!!

I spoke just 3-4 lines explaining what it is?????do not just start abruptly being in favour & against. RESULTS being declared as we came out of the room.

III.HR ROUND: Interviewer read my essay n cleared her queries wth explanation. Asked lot about company..
