Technical: This assessment includes 40 questions on the following:

The result of the above assessment is commenced in the next 10 minutes and if we clear the section cut-off marks then we are redirected to coding assessment which is scheduled immediately after this assessment.
2. Coding Assessment: This assessment has 2 coding questions that need to be solved in 45 minutes. This programming language is allowed to use C, C++, Java, Python, and Dot Net. The coding question was of medium difficulty level based on stack and array fundamentals.
If you clear the coding round after 2-5 working days, you will get mail for the communication round.
3. Communication Round: This round was of approximately 30 minutes, and you are assessed on the following topics:
- Sentence Mastery
- Vocabulary
- Fluency
- Pronunciation
Tip: You need to sit in a completely vacant, completely lighted, and noise-free room to avoid any type of disturbance because Accenture has very strict proctoring system which is seen by someone and if you failed to follow rules, you can be banned from Accenture for a lifetime even after clearing every round of recruitment.
4. Interview Round
I got the mail of the interview after 3-4 working days of my communication round and also, they gave options to choose the favorable time slot.
The interview consisted of the following questions:
- Introduction
- A brief explanation of projects

That’s all about my interview at Accenture and after 10-12 working days I got mail for getting selected for this role.
Tip: Be prepared for some managerial and behavioral questions along with the concepts of technical skills that you used in your projects.
