450 people cleared the written test out of 3000 people. On 25th August we had our GD & Interview. We reached our centre at 10AM. Firstly we had a 40-45mins PPT (Pre-Placement Talk). Listen carefully as it will help you in HR interview also.

2) GD-
Firstly the coordinator asked us to suggest some topics but he gave us the following topic: "IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA AFTER 10 YEARS."

In GD you must put your points confidently & speak something. If you put your points confidently they will select you. In our group 6 people were selected from 12. In GD 150 students were selected from 450.

3) HR-
· Tell me about yourself?
· Why your 12th % was low?
· Do you know C?
· What is linked list?
· What is stack pointer? (I didn’t know the answer & I simply said" I don’t know." Remember if you don’t know the answer tell them. It will be beneficial.)
· What is a register?
· What is the difference between LAN & WAN? (As I have asked her to ask from Computer Networks.)
· What is the difference between Routers & Switches?
· What is OSI?
· Name all the 7 layers of OSI.

Then the interviewer asked me if I was having any questions. I asked her that I want to pursue my MBA, how will Accenture help me out?

The HR interview carried out for about 10-15 mins. After my interview the interviewer told me to wait outside. I was told that I had cleared my HR & be ready for my Technical interview. After 10mins I was called for my technical interview.

4) TECHNICAL-
It was carried out for about 15-20mins.

· Why should I hire you?
· Why your 12th% was low?

The interviewer told me to wait for the results. At around 9:30PM our results were announced. My name was also there. 34 students were selected on that day & some of the students were having there interviews the next day as it was very late.

We were given the offer letter. The package is Rs.3,10,003.
