ACCENTURE PAPER 23rd MAY 2008
Hi friends, ACCENTURE visited our college on 23rd May 2008, it was my b'day. Lets not waste time.....
There were FOUR rounds in all:
1) Written test:
The written test was conducted by MERITRACK, so go through their papers. Many questions were repeated. It had THREE sections and consisted of 55 questions in all. The written test was damn easy. The 3 sections were:
SECTION 1-> VERBAL:: There were 20 questions in this section.5 questions on reading comprehension, 5 on sentence completion, 5 synonyms and 5 anatonyms...The questions were simple and no need of going through any GRE books for this section...
SECTION 2-> APTITUDE:: 20 questions. I believe R.S.Aggarwal is more than enough for this section. Questions were asked ratio and proportion, percentage, profit and loss, sequence completion, venn diagrams, and questions like:* means +, / means *, + means - and - means /;Then what's the value of 2/9*1+10-8
SECTION 3-> LOGICAL REASONING:: There were 15 questions in this section. This section also was simple, questions were blindly picked from R.S.Aggarwal. There was no negative marking.
Around 625 candidates attended the written test and 255 were short listed.
2) Group Discussion:
There were 12 members in our group. The topic given to us was:
Should Hockey still be the national game of
6 of us were short listed.
Some of the topics given to other groups were:
-GD is a waste of time.
-Usage of IT.
-Effect of cinema on youth. etc...
Totally, around 130 of us were short listed for the next round.
After this round, we were given a form to fill. Fill the form clearly, coz based on the details u fill, the questions will be posed
in the interviews. Remember, people having year gaps have very less chances to be selected. They almost selected none who had year gaps.
3) Technical Interview:
The interviewer was a very cool guy. Mainly he asked me about my project. So be thorough with your project. They may go deep into your project. Be ready with your project. They need a clear cut description about your project. Database used, type of connection used, problems faced while developing the project and connections and so on....
He didn't ask me much technical questions. Some of the questions were:
Explain Binary search, normalization, paging, swapping and a few small querries...
Right after my technical round, I was taken for the HR round, people who didn't get through technical round were told
on the spot.
4) HR interview:
The lady who took my HR interview was not so friendly. Some of the questions she asked me were:
-Tell me about yourself.
-Are you happy to be short listed to the final round? (I said of course I am, and today's my b'day and this is
the first interview of my life, so this added to my happiness. She wished me for my b'day).
-Why did you score less marks in your 12th standard?
-Asked me why wasn't I selected in the first 3 companies that visited our college. (I told that I wasn't eligible to
attend any of those three interviews).
-Do you have any year gap in your academics?
-Achievements, strengths, weakness.
-Extracurricular activities.
-Why Accenture?
-Willingness to work in any region in India. bla bla bla.........
I finished my HR round at around 4.30pm. I was asked to wait until 6pm for my results. The interviews went on until 11.30 at night.
We had to wait until 12 at night for our results. Finally the results were announced at 12. And yepp, I was one of the 75 selected students. So, totally 75 (out of 625 who attended) were selected.
Remember- The only mantra for getting through in any campus interview is:
BE CONFIDENT!!!
I wish all you guys reading this blog:= ALL THE VERY BEST!!!!!

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the 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

Interview
Two interviews
First HR then Technical
HR questions are based on the form mentiond above it is very cool and do very very carefully be aware of the things whatever you say
Technical interview comprices basic questions in every subject and the projects done in your curriculum
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 process consisted of:
1. Written Test
2. GD
3. HR Interview
4. Tech Interview
5. Final Interview

1. The written was purel technical (as it was for exp people). Consisted of 30 ques. in 30 min. Qoes. from EJB (5-6 ques), JSP/servelts (3-4 ques), UML (2 ques),sql/database(2-3ques) and rest core java. Be prepared as the test is tough. Prepare the basics well......
2. GD was coool. They from groups of 12 people. Topics are common like shud internet chatting in IT companies be allowed, Shud ragging be banned etc... No need o shout, just make sure that your point gets noticed by the group.
3. This one is real hard. You gotta have ur basics of JAVA and J2EE crystal clear. The person was though cool and gave u ample time to answer. Asked tricky questions related to basics of EJB, servlets etc.
4. The HR interview is a breeze. They just ask usual questions like your career objectives, why u want to change, why Accenture, weakness, strengths etc... Speak well and with confidence.
5. The final interview is with a manager. Have no idea about it as i'm still waiting for it to be held. Though the process was supposed to be completed on Sunday itself, too many people turned up.... and the process got delayed.
