Accenture Interview Experience (On-Campus)

Admit Card Received: Dec 04, 2023

I received the admit card for the Accenture on-campus drive on December 4, 2023. A total of 556 students applied and slots were assigned for the test.

Test Date: Dec 5, 2023

Round I: Cognitive and Technical Round

There were questions on verbal ability, syllogisms, coding-decoding (very easy questions were given just like adding +1 to decode), blood relations, directions, pseudocodes, MS Office and computer network questions.

After submitting this there might be some cutoffs,

based on that 2 coding questions will open or else you will be rejected here.

For me the coding questions were

• A person performs chest, biceps , and back three types of exercises. (in this sequence only) we should return the max exercise name. (Unfortunately, the testcases for this question were given wrong, and I don’t know where to raise the question, similarly, there was an issue with testcases for my friend who applied off-campus. So there can be issues with test cases)

sample input

6

1 2 3 4 5 6

so here chest biceps back chest biceps back

here 6+3 = 9 which is max so ans is back, but according to testcases it is chest…

(I contacted a few employees of Accenture regarding this on Linked – they said you cannot raise and there is no use for it)

• Return the next smallest number with distinct digits

Ex
Input 2012

output 2013 next number with distinct digits

1988

2013.

I did this using recursion.

But my code output was 2015. But it was correct on my laptop when I checked it again.

You can also check my code

import java. util.*;

public class nextDistinct {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

int num = sc.nextInt();

System. out.println(“Next Greater No. with distinct digits “+find(num));

}

private static int find(int num)

{

int temp = num+1;

int[] digitsCount = new int[10];

int result = temp;

while(temp>0)

{

int digit = temp%10;

temp = temp/10;

digitsCount[digit]++;

}

for(int i = 0;i<10;i++)

{

if(digitsCount[i]>1)

{

return find(result+1);

}

}

return result;

}

}

The test was on the hirepro platform may be an issue with the platform. As a few testcases passed, I was selected for the next communication round.

For the next round, 240 students were selected out of 556.

I reached out to Accenture employees on LinkedIn regarding the test case issues, but they indicated that raising the issue is not possible & would not be beneficial.

Round – II Communication Round: Dec 7-9, 2023

Out of 556 students, 240 were selected for the communication round on the Pearson platform. Open questions in my round were

1. Should parents control children’s habits on diet?
2. If a guest visits your home would you prefer to serve him homemade food or would take him to any restaurant?

You can refer to YouTube videos regarding this round to get clarity. Some questions may be repeated as well.

Interview Slot Selection

We were asked to choose interview slots on 11th December we got a link on our registered email as well as on WhatsApp. I recommend selecting morning slots for a smoother connection & you may be among the early candidates to give the interview, & interviewers may not be exhausted so might ask good questions. My interview was scheduled for 12:00 PM on Dec 13th.

Interview Experience: Dec 13, 2023

The interviewer, Peter Godwin from Chennai, had 10 years of experience at Accenture. He gave his brief intro. Due to an internet issue, the first attempt was disconnected, but the interview resumed after reconnecting. He asked me to go through my profile. Nothing much. I asked him why he was not asking me any technical questions, he said it was not a technical interview. I asked him a few questions. The interview was just around 15 minutes for everyone. It depends on the interviewer. Few asked good questions, HR questions, about projects etc and few didn’t ask much(other students’ experience on the day of the interview)
A few students were unable to give the interviews due to some technical issues. For them, the interviews were rescheduled for Dec 18th.

After the interview, we got an email stating the results would be declared after 10-15 working days.

Results: Jan 8, 2024

Out of 240 candidates, 113 were selected, with the majority being female candidates. Only two students secured the AASE role (6.5 LPA), while the remaining 111 were offered the ASE role (4.5 LPA). Unfortunately, I was not selected.

Candidates who were selected received a letter of intent to accept or reject the role, followed by a document verification process.

All the best guys the recruitment process will be easy only. I think I lost due to the issue with the testcases…it was my bad luck…

Anyway, prepare well. You can clear it.

Thanks for reading.
