PASSAGE

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from

miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit
(IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-
scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the
processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the
equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was
greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when
it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum
component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for
calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over
every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest
handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in
technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably
delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments'
TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is a
variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory,
and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a
computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is
somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?

A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.

A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?

A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:

A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage.

Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs)
that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or
saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app
sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is
known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows
COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save,
Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will
need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in
COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the
dialog box's Filename text box.

The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL
to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may
expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the
responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return
information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by
the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs
all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with
the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into
memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL
routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells
whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the
application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation
failed, the application displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:

A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:

A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with
the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:

A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling
application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function
operation was a success

LUCK BHI BAHUT CHALTA HAI BHAI......................

c u in accenture.....!! .
 first tapped the door gently and opened it, asking for the permission to come in. After getting it,
I got in and walked upto the table and greeted the HR, who was a sober man in his 30’s. He
looked very serious, but was in fact were kind. I sat on the chair only after being told to do so.
He had my resume and copies of certificates with him which he was reading. After a while, he
fired the first salvo at me by asking me to introduce myself. The questions were as follows:
1.Tell me something about yourself.
I talked about myself and my strengths and weaknesses, my objective etc. Make sure your
introduction lasts no more than 1-1.5 minutes.
2.How can you prove that you are creative?
This question came as I had said that I had quoted ‘creativity’ as my strength. I gave the example
of my pencil shading hobby.
3.Give me an example of your perfectionist attitude.
I said that I work on my paintings and portraits for several drafts unless I am satisfied with them.
4.Do you have any of your sketches with you now
5.I said, “Sorry, I don’t.”
6.Tell me about your family background.
I stressed on the loving bond we share in our family. Try to say something about all your family
members.
7.Can you tell me a situation where your suggestion/creativity helped your team achieve some
innovation
I gave example of our 3rd semester project.
8.And a situation where your team failed in achieving its objective because of your mistake?
“I am a trekker. We have a trekking club in our town. Once we had arranged a trek to one fort
called Bhairavgad. It was quite difficult ascent and I was required to go first and tie rope for the
others. Unfortunately I could not climb the point with steep ascent and we had to abandon the
trek altogether. But the very next week, we again went there and this time we made it to the top.”
9.Who is your idol
I said, “Sachin Tendulkar. As he is a high performer and still keeps his feet firmly on ground. I
wish to perform like him and still maintain my humility.”
10.But when Sachin scores a century, our team looses, right?
“It is a team effort and everyone has to contribute his best. And the team leader has to make sure
they do.”
11.How did you come to know about Accenture
“From one of our seniors who was placed in Accenture a couple of years ago. I was very much
impressed with the global look of Accenture that he described.”
12.What do you mean by Global look?
“It is the global presence. This gives Accenture the great mix of different cultures and I like to
interact with people from diverse backgrounds. That’s one of my strengths. I will get an
opportunity to explore the same at Accenture. Hence I really admire it.”
13.Which company do you admire the most other than Accenture?
“I like Infosys.”
14.Why?
“It has done very well as a Corporate Citizen. I especially was impressed with their ‘Infosys
Foundation’ headed by Mrs. Sudha Murthy. I have read her books like ‘Wise and Otherwise’.
The foundation has been doing a lot of social work and philanthropy in various remote parts of
the country. This suits my nature of helping others in achieving their goals. Hence I admire
Infosys very much.”
15.Have you appeared for any other company’s test before?
“Yes, KPIT.”

The interview lasted for 20 minutes. I wished the HR a good day and came out. After 5 minutes I
was told that I cleared the HR.

Technical Interview:
The next round was Technical interview. After half an hour, my turn came. The interviewer was
a lady in her mid-forties. She was very cultured, soft-spoken and refined.
She was a HR and most of the questions she asked were of HR type. It went somewhat like this:
1.You said that your idol is Sachin Tendulkar, right? Why?
“That’s because he is a high achiever and perfectionist. He can deliver high performance time to
time and in spite of the reverence he gets from the world, he is so down-to-earth. I wish my
success doesn’t go to my head at any stage of my life.”
2.Tell me something about your family.
This question was a repeat. I gave similar answer.
3.Why was your score so less in 12th standard?
I explained the reasons.
4.You have done B. A.?
I said, “Yes.”
5.What was your major?
“Political Science.”
6.Why did you choose Political Science?
“It is the enveloping subject for all other subjects of the world, as it creates the framework within
which other subjects like economics and even science and technology evolve. It gives you the
opportunity to study the diverse cultures and political setups of different countries. This enables
me to understand the socio-cultural mindsets of their people. This in turn helps me in effectively
interacting with them.”
7.Then why did you not go for IAS?
“In fact, I had started preparing for Civil Services Examination. I wanted to go in the Indian
Foreign Service. But later I realized that I won’t get the kind of freedom and power to push
forward my vision and opinions or aggressive strategies. I also had a liking for technology, so I
chose MCA after B. A.”
8.Why do you love technology?
“I am a creative person. Just like canvas, brushes and color palette are tools for creativity in arts,
technology is the tool for expressing your creativity. Besides, I also love working with
machines.”
9.How did you develop interest in technology?
“When I first learnt C, I was very much impressed with its power of making the machines work
for you, according to your wishes. That fetched
me closer to technology.”
10.You said that you want to go into Systems Programming, right?
Actually I had not said so. But still I answered affirmatively. “Yah, Systems Programming is
domain that puts high demands on you for utmost creativity, supreme command over languages
and thorough understanding of the architectures and other details. So, one who has a liking for
details will surely succeed in that.”
11.And then what about Application Programming?
“I like Application Programming also as it involves interacting with people. You have to
understand their needs and preferences. The interfaces have to be user-friendly. So, if one can
understand the preferences and psychology of people, one can really develop successful
applications. The study of different cultural setups helps in this stuff. Hence I can do equally well
in this area also.”
12.What are your strengths?
“My ability of communication, soft skills, my creativity and my technical knowledge are some of
my strengths. I can work well in teams and can lead them also.”
13.Can you write a C program for 2X3 & 3X1 matrix multiplication?
I wrote the program. She asked me to explain the logic of the program. She also asked me why
the order of the matrices is important. I explained.
14.111 candidates have been short-listed from GD for interviews. What’s in you that sets you
apart from others?
“My USP is my communication skills and my ability of interacting with people from diverse
backgrounds. This will help me in dealing with our clients and I am particularly eager to work in
Accenture as it has people from all over the globe. I am really excited at the prospect of working
with the company having global look.”
15.Can you give me an example of how you can communicate across cultural backgrounds?
“Well, I have a zeal for talking to people especially from backgrounds of other than mine. For
example, I have a vast network of friends, most of whom are from different states, even from
different countries, speaking different languages. I can interact with them because of my
observing, analyzing and empathizing skills. My cross-domain experience and knowledge helps
me a lot. I am sure I will have similar success with Accenture as well.”
16.Why should I select you?
“Accenture will select me only if it thinks and is satisfied that I am the right candidate for
the job. Let’s think from Accenture’s perspective. What it will look for in a candidate is the soft
skills, strong domain knowledge, communication skills, ability of working in teams, leadership
qualities, global viewpoint, creativity, and so on. And I think I have it all in me.”
Here I again stressed on soft skills.
17.Where do you see yourself after three years from now?
I gave a diplomatic answer to this question. I said, “I don’t know exactly how fast careers grow
in Accenture, but generally speaking I see myself as at least a System Analyst. Not three years as
such, but say, five years.”
18.Any other company you appeared for before? What was the result?
“I had appeared in KPIT aptitude test on the very next day after the aptitude of Accenture. But I
could not clear the test.”

The interview lasted for 25 minutes. The last question she asked was “You want to ask me
anything?” I was a bit surprised at the timing of the question. I just said, “Well, nothing as such!”
Then she thanked me. I wished her a good day and left the room. After a while, the person
outside the door told me that I was selected and tried to shake hand with me. But I couldn’t
because my friend literally hugged and lifted me up in excitement. I was then busy receiving
calls from all my college-mates and friends. Success is really very sweet. And when it comes in
the form of placement, you suddenly feel a kind of relief from all your worries and tensions!
From almost 2000 candidates, 211 cracked the aptitude test. 111 candidates cleared the GD
round. And finally who made it to Accenture were just 33, a majority of whom were girls. There
was a sad edge to my success- I was the only student from all candidates of our D. Y. Patil
Pratishthan to get selected in Accenture. I will really miss my friends. I take this opportunity to
thank them for their support.

Tips for successful placement:

First, please work well on your soft skills. Merely having fluency is not enough; you should have
the ability of conveying your thoughts across clearly. You must have well manners and
etiquettes.

Second, do a SWOT analysis of yourself and stress on your strengths in all answers. Remember,
questions pop up from your previous answers. Hence, it is in your hands how to direct the
interview flow.

Next, gather information about the company from various sources. Try to find out what the
company wants. Also work on your GK as some of my colleagues were asked questions on it.
It is a popular myth about Accenture that it only seeks fluency in English. It also wants its
employees to give a high performance. Hence having technical knowledge is also very
important.
Believe in yourself. Be polite, but firm. Don’t get disturbed if you are cross checked. Keep your
ears open for any clues.
Develop some novel ways of answering. For example, the way I answered the question “why I
should select you?”
Just be relaxed and calm, poise. Have a great self-confidence.

39.Theory question about far pointers.

Hint: Far pointers are 4 bytes in size and local pointers are 2 bytes in size.
important: i saw in a previous question paper of accenture which is in the
chetana database, some lady wrote that size of an integer in C is 2 bytes
and for C++ it is 4 bytes. This is absurd.The size of types is entirely
dependent on the compiler used.for DOS Turbo C sizeof int is 2 and float is 4
bytes for windows borland C,C++ size of int is 4 bytes for linux gcc, size of
int is 2 bytes. All these depends on the Operating system.Please keep this in
mind.
40.

Now some questions about extern variables.

41. #include<stdio.h>

getch();
}
ans.
hhhh
eeee
llll
llll
note that str[i] and i[str] are the same.in the question paper, the original
word is "hello".

42. Which of the following is not defined in string.h

strtod,memchr,strspn,strchr
ans . strtod.(defined in STDLIB.H) it is used to convert a string to double.

43. Questions on macros with arguments .same pattern given in TEST UR C

SKILLS
eg.#define SQUARE(x) x*x
main()
{
.......
y=SQUARE(2+3);
printf("%d",y);
}
ans. when the macro expands we get 2+3*2+3 = 2+6+3 =11.11 is the
correct answer not 25.

44. Remember an inline function does type checking and so it is better than
a macro a question on this.
45. Some memory is allocated using memalloc and then realloc is called. and
now to write the size of the variable.better learn memalloc and realloc. what
it does and syntax.

KKTUJNGDFTSR KKTUJHGDFTSR KKTUJNGDFTSR

Ans: C

Another example:
1896.5738491023 1896.5783491023 1896.5738461023
Ans: D

these ques are also easy..they consume very less time and need no pen work..
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)

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 of-
8+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 … …

Important things to be remembered:

Most of the questions were easy; all you need is time management and accuracy. Try to
attempt the paper in two passes. In the first pass, solve the ques u r able to and leav others for
the last mins. 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 don’t feel low
because paper is very easy!...and paper get repeated...so search well for papers b4hand..u will
get an idea bout it..

after the test was over they gave us an essay topic which was "CARRIER IN ACCENTURE"
after this procedure results were announced after almost 30 mins...i clrd the test...cutt off was

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 29th JUNE AT PUNE

First of all a BIG THANKs to freshersworld.com for being a great platform for all reviews and
papers for placement....

Guys this was my 4th cmpy after TCS,INFY,CONGNI.... for you guys who havent got
placement for first few cmpys.....I strongly advice u to BE POSITIVE....just give your fight for
watever cmpy u r applyin.... I know how it feels lookin at peers whoz got placed.....but tell u itz
just tht u just DONT GET DEPRESSED...GIVE FIGHT and very very imp HAVE A
POSITIVE ATTITUDE..... it helps....think MAY BE u r DESTINED for a much better
cmpy.....i can say it from my exp..i m feelin really better to be placed in ACCENTURE, a truly
MNC compared to TCS....

now let me tell u the total procedure..........

ACCENTURE believes in havin a good English..so better improve yr English speakin
skills...many ppl were thrown in HR just because they werent able to speak eng properly or may
be they had done many grammatical mistakes in ESSAY writing....

they had...
1.APTITUDE TEST(55q in 1hr)
ESSAY WRITING
2.GD
3.TI
4.PI

1. APTITUDE TEST:
just dont worry.....do chk as many papers from net....n read more n more questions....so tht u get
aa proper idea abt howz paper and further prepare yrself for the same....i did the same....day
before test i used to browse thru those papers,reviews n NO RS or any stuff like tht...though
many of my frnds did refer to RS....may help...but not necessary....

APT includes da same ie verbal,quant,logic..

within verbal 2 passages(go for it atlast), further choose the correct sentence or wring one from
those 4 sentences mentioned......
then bit of fill in blanks for fillin appropriate words...(bit vocabs req here)
over n above if u have good grasp over english i dont thk u really need to put in much efforts...

as far as quant is concerned....there are some5-6 venn diag related qs

further some of data sufficiencies...
logic is easiest ....go for it at first ....u r supposed to identify same options for eg: which of these
are same
1>123.8989 2>123.8998 3>123.8998
mark 1. if 1st and 2nd are same
2. for 2nd and third same
3. 1,2,3 are same
4. none are same

so here ans 2.
der r some other qs as well in logic...but most of them r gettable.....dont worry!!!!

Now how to crack.....

see 55qs in 1 hr
2 big passages(1 gen techy other non techy)
normally cutoff 35 out off 55
so now solve all qs in paper whichever reqs less time....
but do try to solve from each section....i dont know but ya they may consider sectional
cutoff.....so better be cautious

Once APTs got over...u are supposed to write ESSAY for just 5min
I know u might gettin panicky.....but dont worry...
topics are very simple ..i got IT INDUSTRY IN INDIA...
generally topics are WHY ACCENTURE...IT GROWTH...normally reltd to IT
what they chk in essays is whether u have good english,how many grammatical, spellin
mistakes u have made....this may cost u yr job even if reached till yr HR....so better work over
your spellings and grammatical mistakes......sum of my classmates shown gates for the same......

generally ACCENTURE takes apt first then give PPT while chkg of papers take place.....after
ppt selected candidates are informed and groups for gd are formed ...gen 10 ppl in 1 grp
u better go prepared wit a topic of yr interest...may be u r lucky....and u might be asked as to
wat topic u want to discuss...
We chose....IMPACT OF MOVIES ON YOUTH
IN GD they normally select all the candidates who speak....SO just speak and make a pt....then
u r through....but still remember if u initate the discussion and summarize atlast and just make
relevant points in between then theres just no chance of u gettin dropped in GD.....i did it just
tht way....

after GD we had our TI or PI(like sum ppl were asked to go for TI first while others HR)

NOW my TI Exp.....
1.put all prjts and PPs n seminars in yr resume.....n ofcourse know enough of it so tht u can
convince the person concerned.
I had written to 2 prjts -one on C++, other in VB.....i had also mentioned of winning prize in
robotics n prize in seminar
interviewer started wit normal ""tell abt yrself" then he asked me regardin seminar....i
told...but(not quite convincinly)....then he then went over my robotics prjt....abt wat prgm,wat
lang,wat microcontroller used.....i was screwed.. i had done this in 1st sem of 2nd yr....n
actually didnt knew much abt it....i told sir i did this long back...he told arent u supposed to
remember wat u learnt for 4 years....i asked him,sir u might knowin abt engg schedule being
engg...he said i have phd in phy....i was feeelin i will be totally screwed... but just then i turned
up the page of my resume n told him abt my prjt in VB...i had prepared properly for this one..
he asked me wat part of prgm was difficult to code...fyurther abt tables used.... etc... then other
C++ prjt.....but still he wasnt quite convinced abt me.....
i told him of 1 idea abt a project i had like to make....gave him a total detailed prespective abt
it....dis went around for long(abt 10-12min)....
then i told sir i feel its goin to be a bit difficult but i ll try my best abt it....
he then gave some directions as to how to go abt it.......after tht he told me to go to HR.....i
thought tht was it...n thought tht idea made the game and tht HR wont be tht difficult. HENCE I
SUGGEST ALL U GUYS WHO AREN'T GOOD AT TECHNICAL....GO FOR SOME SOME
GOOD PRJTS....N SPECIALLY THINK ABT A NEW INNOVATIVE IDEA WHICH U
COULD TELL N IMPRESS INTERVIEWER...DIS WAY U CAN ACTUALLY GIVE THE
DIRECTION TO INTERVIEW...N ULTIMATELY INTERVIEWER DONT GET INTO
TECHY PRGMS N CONCEPTS MUCH....SO U IMPRESS HIM AS WELL AS PAVE A
WAY TO AVOID THOSE TECHY QS

HR (just the icing on cake)

 after sometime i was called for HR....a lady was there...asked me abt my mini prjt...told her abt
the prjt...then asked me a few qs abt hackin...as i had attended as i had attened a seminar on
hacking...asked whether u do hackin....i told straightly i dont but told tht im interested....
futher she asked abt my family....told her all smiled in between....was very comfortable......atlast
she offered me a biscuit....n tht was it....i knew i was selected.....

but ya some of frnds who werent tht confident were really put to stress test in hr.....one of frnds
whoz really good at c...was told how did he come to computers..u know nothin....i ll kick u offf
if i get a better candidate....so u better be calm and cool ..they check whether u can handle such
stressful situations....so dont worry just be confident in watever u speak...n be cool and dont get
panicky......sum were asked whether he would like to marry shilpa shetty...give a logical ans for
such qs...

this was it after gettin screwed in TI in TCS,HR in CONGNI, i was ultimately thru......felt relly
good to be part of ACCENTURE,$16 bn cmpy much bigger then tcs n infy or cogni....

" BEST OF LUCK " N DONT FEEL DISHEARTENED IF ARENT SELECTED .....
REMEMBER SOMETHGS GOOD DEFINATELY LEFT FOR U.....

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 (I’ll
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 didn’t
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 didn’t. 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?
I- I explained about the Gridview control and AccessDataSource contol and their properties that
are needed to be altered for the connection (He was impressed again)
He- Have you worked in Java?
I- No Sir, but I have a very good command on C, C++ (He gave a satisfactory smile)
He- Ok still can you explain the meaning of ASP
I- I explained the meaning, use and importance of ASP and Visual Studio 2005 (He was
impressed again)
He- Why didn’t you use Java? Do you know about it?
I- Yes sir, I know, like active server pages (ASP) we can also build JSP … and I compared both
of them telling the advantages of ASP (He was satisfied!)
He asked- Ok do you know about polymorphism?
I- I told him with an example of add( ) function having many forms
He- Ok, what is Inheritance?
I- I explained the whole concept with an example.
He asked (in between) - Then what is parent class?
I- I explained with the support of the same example, and elaborated my answer.
He asked- Then, do you know what do we call a class that cannot be instantiated?
I- “Abstract class” I also explained why? (He was completely impressed)

He then did some markings like he was doing throughout the interview, and happily asked me to
go.
I said “Thank You sir. Have a nice day sir”.
I was convinced I am selected for HR, but I was asked to wait for 5 minutes. After 5 mins
I called for the HR interview.

4. 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 Ma’m

She- Good afternoon
I- May I have a seat?
She- Sure, please (smiling)
I- Thank you ma’m
She said- So, Rajat. Tell me something about yourself
I did, but after 2-3 lines of introduction, I was thinking back of the mind that how should I
continue (though there was a lot of things left to be told in my introduction). So I asked her- And
mam, please you 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 don’t 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, non-
technically).
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- Since I deliver my highest performance every time, I want to be a part of the company that
demands High Performance (She was impressed)
She- So are you ready to work on any technology?
I- Yes I can…
She- Are you ready to sign the agreement with accenture?
I- Yes I am…
She- Ok Rajat, you can go
I- Thank you mam. Have a nice day mam.

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.
THE FIGURES- 55 were selected finally out of 71 who were interviewed (36 were from our
college)
