Salary (Package): Rs. *******..(weird figure! I guess numerological reasons!! )
There were 4 rounds for me, like everybody.

Round 1 : Aptitude test A simple logic, a bit of quant n verbal based test.. If u r preparing for entrance exams like MBA, etc its a piece of cake..! No wonder more than 100 ppl sailed thru!

Round 2 : GD Now here was a catch.. Group discussion topic depended from group to group.. Some had abstract ones like black, while some had general ones like media.. I got controversial- “Should capital punishment be made mandatory in India?” ..Trust me.. GDs are all about group dynamics.. A group of 15 ppl.. Since all were charged up, all wanted to make a point.. There was a moment when all spoke.. So catch lied, in being loud but simultaneously calm , audible n so valid that no one interrupted.. Being a controversial GD, there was no silence…I spoke thrice.. and all the three times spoke some valid points supported with real life examples and statistics…At the end, everyone was asked to sum up the discussion n later a feedback was given…I was happy to get a nice feedback…which meant I was qualified for next round..

Round 3: HR InterviewThe first question I was asked was to tell about myself. I just told about my hobbies. Having prepared “how to answer HR questions”, I thought his next question wud b about strengths and weaknesses…I was wrong.. After I finished my short answer, he waited n looked unsatisfied.. He asked me about my choice of place for work..y had I chosen Mumbai, why the second option that I gave was Delhi, y was Chennai the last option, wat if I wud b sent to Chennai ? He told me about service agreement, was I ready to sign..( It meant bond..had to say yes!!!) I answered all in monosyllables ..At last, he asked me about my outhouse final year project..I told him and in volumes about it.. Finally cud impress him!

Round 4: Technical Interview The same person who had come for GD. .Greeted me with a smile n said he had only taken my GD..(Hello Sir, waiting for similar feedback!!) He asked me about a basic C C++ program, whether I had ever wrote a program for myself..to which I said yes.. He asked me bit of database, not in detail n then switched over to final year project.. He later asked why accenture, why not coca cola which is a No1 brand. He asked me how I wud see myself after 5 yrs..He ended with saying that he wished to see me at accenture..(Thankyou.. I m comin!!!) I guess I cant call it completely a technical interview, it was mix of tech n HR…

Final Verdict: I was one of 80+ ppl part of accenture family…

Overall Experience: High Performance Delivered!
