Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I had the opportunity to sit for Accenture's campus placement. I started my journey by finding online resources related to Accenture interviews and speaking with a few seniors. I prepared for aptitude questions and refreshed my DSA concepts by revising them. I knew that Accenture was a great company for freshers. It provides the opportunity to learn our preferred tech stack and makes us both job-ready and industry-ready.
Application story
Initially, our college shared the portal link. We applied on Accenture's website and filled in the basic details.
PS: It is essential to have a PAN card. You can't apply to Accenture without it.
Communication for further rounds was done through email by Accenture.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
After clearing the aptitude and coding rounds, during my interview, I was mainly tested on my leadership qualities and ability to learn. The HR asked me many questions related to my internship experiences, and I was able to answer all of them to their expectations. You should be honest during your interviews and provide as many real-life examples as possible for the situations they present. Explain how you overcame similar challenges during your previous internships or any college-related events.

The first round was an aptitude test that lasted about 45 minutes. Upon clearing the first round, the second round, the coding round, began (only if you cleared the first round). There were proctors present from Accenture, and online proctors were also monitoring. The test was held in my college lab.

Asked in companies
You are given an integer ‘N’. You have to print the value of Factorial of ‘N’. The Factorial of a number ‘N’ is defined as the product of all numbers from 1 to ‘N’.
For Example:
Consider if ‘N’ = 4, the Factorial of 4 will be the product of all numbers from 1 to 4, which is 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 = 24. Hence, the answer is 24.

It was an online round that I completed from home, scheduled for 10 AM. Please make sure you're seated in a quiet environment and dressed in formal attire.
The interview began with my introduction and then moved on to my previous internship experiences. No technical questions were asked; instead, they focused on HR-related questions such as:
- What was my role during the internship?
- How did I deal with clients?
- How do you handle negative feedback?
It was a very easy round. The HR was very friendly, and at the end, we discussed Accenture. I also asked a few questions about the company.
