Accenture Interview Experience for ASE (On-Campus) 2023

Overview Of The Interview Process:-

Accenture has a pretty straightforward hiring process, First, you have to apply via their career portal If you get selected based on their criteria then you have to go through the following steps:-

• Round 1:- MCQs on Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Technical Subjects, MS Office.
• Round 2:- Coding Round.
• Round 3:- Communication Round.
• Round 4:- HR + Technical Interview.

Round 1:- MCQs on Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning Technical Subjects, MS Office.

There are 90 questions in this section and the allotted time is 90 minutes. Difficulty level would be easy to moderate. I would suggest practicing a lot of MCQs on Computer Networks, Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing, and MS Office from sites like San Foundry.

For the aptitude portion, I would recommend going through the questions on platforms like IndiaBix They also provide short crisp notes on various topics related to aptitude that will come in handy as well so go through them once.

Revise data structures, algorithms, and core programming concepts( C, C++, and Java) as well, especially for pseudocode-based questions, where you’ll either have to calculate the output or detect the error in the code.

If you clear the cutoff you’ll get the mail confirming that you’ve cleared the Round 1 and will be redirected to the Coding Round.

Note :- Round 1 and Round 2 happens on the same day.

Round 2:- Coding Round.

In this round you will have 45 minutes to solve 2 coding questions. The difficulty level varies from slot to slot but mostly the questions are fairly easy. I would suggest practice questions on Strings, Arrays and Numbers from GeeksforGeeks and InterviewBit. The questions I received were fairly easy :-

• Problem 1:- WAP to input a number and check if is a Round Number. Round Number is such a number for which the continuous sum of the squares of it’s digits lead to 1. For example :- 19 -> 1+81 = 82 -> 64+4 = 68 -> 36+64 = 100 -> 1+0+0 = 1, hence 19 is a Round Number.
• Problem 2:- WAP to input a number and check if it is an Armstrong Number using functions. Armstrong Number is such a number whose digits raised to the power of number of digits present in the number on adding up gives the original number back. For example :- 153 (number of digits = 3), 1+125+27 = 153. Hence it is an Armstrong Number.

There were 2 test cases per question. If you clear the round you will receive an email within 5 minutes confirming the same.

Round 3:- Communication Round.

This is a non elimination round but that doesn’t mean you can take this lightly because your marks in this round will be considered at the time of final selection. In this round your english speaking and listening skills would be tested. You will be tested on the following grounds:-

• They will read out a sentence, you will have to repeat the same.
• Some texts would appear on your screen, you will have to read out the same sentence aloud.
• They will read out a sentence but there will be some grammatical errors in them, you will have to read out the sentences fixing those errors.
• They will read out a passage (30 seconds long), you will have to repeat the gist of the same.
• Some random questions would be asked and you will have to answer them but you have to be very prompt whilst doing so.

Ensure that you have proper internet connection and ensure that your pronunciations are good.

Once you’re done with this round you’ll receive a mail congratulating you for successfully completing it and details regarding your interview will be shared.

Round 4:- HR + Technical Interview.

You will receive a mail to select your slot for the interview, mine was on 16th August, 3:00 PM.

The interviewer started by introducing herself then she asked me the following questions :-

• Introduce yourself.
• Why did you choose computer science engineering?
• What are the projects you have completed or are currently working on?
• Was this a solo project or a group project?
• What were the difficulties you faced while making this project?(Technical + Personal)
• How did you overcome the same?
• Why did you choose this particular project?
• How did the COVID situation affect your education and college life?
• What are your subjects of interest?
• Why are you interested in Machine Learning?
• What do you think is the future of the IT industry going forward?
• Have you ever taken part in any extra curricular activities apart from your studies?

After this she asked me if I had some questions from my side following which the interview was over.

My question was :-

Given my current skillsets how do you feel I would fit into Accenture?

My interview went on for about 20 minutes and I received the LOI on 12th September, 2023 and I’ve accepted the LOI.

Some tips :-
