Accenture Associate Software Engineer interview questions

The entire process was dead easy consisting of two rounds: aptitude and PI. Aptitude was hosted by AMCAT - Inspiring Minds and results were announced within 5 hours. Out of 538 appeared for aptitude, 433 were selected for PI and at the end 270 were selected. Round Aptitude : 3 sections - verbal , quants , logical. Verbal - Standard questions of medium difficulty with time-consuming passages, so better be quick. Quants- Sightly difficult. Questions ranged from Logarithmic, HCF LCM, Time Work, Probability and permutation combination. I would strongly recommend RS Agarwal for this. Logical- Simple presence of mind but time-consuming towards end . Round PI: They had to complete all the 443 interviews in a day so, 1 panel consisted of 2 interviewers and 5 candidates on the same table and the were like 10 panels. So at a given point of time, 20 interviewers were handling 50 candidates.*chills* Your group matters a lot, so make sure to be the best candidate in your group of 5. In my group,3 were selected. A lot depends on your interviewer, they don't collaborate with each other like one panel may select a least deserving person and some other may reject the best deserving. So, don't be surprised if you are rejected and a person you think is least deserving gets selected. During the interview, just be yourself and don't fake. They are no fools. Most of them will have at least 10+ years of experience in Accenture itself. Be prepared with the following set of questions: 1)About yourself: The first and the decider question. Say your name and class and them quickly jump to your projects and explain more about them. Then if asked, jump to your strengths and weaknesses. Don't mug up any script and vomit. Just be ready with strong hooks and expand them in your own words. When asked about weaknesses, don't fake it, it's a trap . Just say a genuine weakness and explain about it. If you can't explain a genuine weakness then prepare a funny one and just laugh about it. 2)Why Accenture? 3)What if we give you a testing role rather than a developer? 4)Relocation issues? 5)Why should we hire you? Finally, stay calm and stay yourself. Don't try to cheaply sell yourself only for the sake of getting selected like one guy in the end asked - "Should I personally improve on something?" and hence was not selected. So, keep it professional and be confident. All the best.
