Journey
My growth has been shaped by consistency and a strong sense of curiosity. For the past year and a half, I’ve been coding almost daily, focusing not just on completing tasks but on truly understanding the underlying concepts. I enjoy building impactful projects, and my participation in hackathons and ideathons has enhanced my teamwork, creativity, and ability to perform well under pressure. Along with maintaining solid academic performance, I’ve actively worked on strengthening my communication and collaboration skills, enabling me to contribute effectively in teams and face interviews with confidence.
Application story
I applied for Accenture’s 2026 campus hiring through the Accenture Careers page as part of my college’s on-campus placement process. After completing my application and selecting the relevant role, I received regular updates regarding the assessment schedule. All stages of the selection process, from the initial cognitive assessment to the final technical interviews, were conducted online. The process was well coordinated, with clear instructions and timely notifications shared via email and the Accenture portal. Overall, the hiring process was well structured and effectively evaluated both technical competencies and soft skills.
Why selected/rejected for the role?

I also articulated my thought process well and showcased my knowledge of areas such as databases and operating systems. Overall, my consistent preparation, confidence, and clear communication helped me make a strong impression throughout the selection process.

1. Decode Ways

Asked in companies
Given a string ‘strNum’ which represents a number, your task is to find the ways to decode the given string ‘strNum’.
The format of encoding is as follows: ‘A’ - 1, ‘B’ - 2, ‘C’ - 3, ‘D’ - 4, ……………, ‘Z’ - 26.
Encoding is possible in letters from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. There is an encoding between character and number.
Example :
‘n = 226’ so we can decode ‘226’ in such a way-
‘BZ = 2-26’, as B maps to 2 and Z maps to 26.
‘BBF = 2-2-6’
‘VF = 22-6’
‘226; can be decoded in three ‘BZ’, ‘BBF’, ‘VF’ possible ways.
Point to be noticed we can’t decode ‘226’ as ‘226’ because we have no character which can directly map with ‘226’ we can only decode numbers from ‘1’ to ‘26’ only.
Problem approach
Step 1: I understood that digits from 1–9 map to letters and two consecutive digits can also form a letter if the value is ≤ 26.
Step 2: I observed that at each index, there are two choices: decode one digit or decode two digits (if valid), which makes the problem dependent on previous results.
Step 3: I applied Dynamic Programming to avoid repeated calculations, where each state stores the number of valid mappings up to that position.
Step 4: By handling edge cases like '0' and invalid two-digit numbers, I iteratively built the solution and returned the final DP value as the answer.
2. SQL
Write an SQL query to display the product id and product name of the product(s) whose status are in the transit hub.
Problem approach
Step 1: First, I understood that I needed to consider only those products whose delivery status is in the transit hub, so I filtered the order_delivery table by status = 'In Transit Hub'.
Step 2: Then, I joined the order_delivery table with order_item using ORDER_DELIVERY_ID to identify the products included in those deliveries.
Step 3: Next, I joined the result with the product table using PRODUCT_ID to fetch the required product details.
Step 4: Finally, I selected only the product_id and product name as specified in the output format.
3. Web Development
This was a web-based question. There was a message box displayed on the page along with a few buttons containing text. I was required to add additional buttons using HTML and adjust the padding using CSS to meet the layout requirements. I was also required to use JavaScript to implement functionality such that when a button is clicked, the text inside the button is moved and displayed inside the message box.
Problem approach
Step 1: I structured the UI using HTML DOM elements, adding the required buttons and identifying the message box using IDs and class selectors.
Step 2: I styled the components using CSS, mainly adjusting padding to meet the design requirements.
Step 3: I implemented JavaScript event handling by attaching click event listeners, capturing the button text using the DOM API, and dynamically updating the message box content.
