Interview Experience

Accenture Interview Experience 2024

Based on experiences shared by recent candidates, the Accenture interview process for freshers in 2024 includes multiple rounds to evaluate both technical and soft skills, with Accenture questions covering cognitive abilities, coding, and communication.

Round 1: Cognitive and Technical Assessment

This stage included multiple sections covering:

  • English Ability
  • Logical Reasoning
  • Numerical Ability
  • Technical Test (focusing on pseudo-code, flow charts, networking, and MS Office tools)
    Some students noted that only English ability, logical reasoning, and numerical ability tests were present, with no technical questions, potentially due to the role or academic background, as pure Arts students might not get the technical test. This is an elimination round, and candidates must meet cutoffs in all areas to advance. The difficulty level was easy to medium, with more focus on reasoning and verbal ability than quantitative aptitude.
Note: This round is for both Arts, Science, and Engineering students.

Sample Questions for Cognitive and Technical Assessment

The assessment is divided into three sections: Verbal Ability, Reasoning Ability, and Numerical Ability.

Round 2: Coding Round

The coding round involved solving 2-3 problems in languages such as C, C++, Java, or Python. The problems were of moderate difficulty, testing problem-solving abilities with tasks like finding patterns or working with algorithms (e.g., determining the maximum exponent of a number within a range).

Note: This round is generally for engineering students.

Sample Problems for Coding Round

  1. Find the maximum exponent of a number in a given range.
  2. Write a code to sort a list in descending order.
  3. Implement a function to detect a palindrome in a string.

Round 3: Communication Skills Assessment
