Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: It is a general topic . As I had habit of reading newspapers and magazines almost on daily basis . So it helped me a lot and I was initiator in my group . Try to start early and get involved in discussion.
Tips: - If you don't have knowledge of such topics think in an emotional manner like suppose you are a US citizen then what will you think , suppose you are a citizen of a country that US is going to invade and you can also think as a person from international community that has nothing to do with it.
-In my interview there were 3 members . They will divide candidates in such way that they each one will observe only one candidate and he will make notes on you.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: The answer for non core is one of the best at least that's what my friends said . I said suppose if I'm getting placed in a core company then it will take 10-15 years to become expert in a plant (I'm a chemical engineer ) and suppose I'm working with your organization i will be working with a pharma company , petrochemical company , FMCG etc. I will be working in multiple dimension . As you have 89 clients in fortune 100 and 75% in fortune 500 . So it will be a major boost for my career .
Where do you see yourself after 3 years - It should be based on profile . My answer was I would like to see myself in cost estimation , supply chain management if I'm getting placed in a core company.
My interview was very short it took hardly 5- 10 minutes.

I said ma'am its a very big complex and their were number of reactors .But the most fascinating was crude oil importing software as it used to predict future demand with close accuracy . Now Sir said suppose you are a software what parameters would you take into account for importing crude . i gave them 7 to 8 parameters with logic's why it should be present and how it should be implemented . After my each and every logic they were saying good very good and I was like they must be making fun of me as I was giving them genuine responses.

- I said sorry Sir but I used to do programming in my 12th class but after that i was not able to continue . But i would love to do it again . then he ask how much time do you need to learn a language . In response to this I said it depends upon mentors . then he said we don't have mentors in Accenture . In reply i said it is easily to learn from a friend than mentor. And he laughed.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The first section tested basic aptitude mainly logic and interpretation. It tests your timing and approach to solve a question.
The second consisted of Data Interpretation mainly pie charts and tables having data around bank deposits and dues. This section has enough time but can sometimes turn out tricky.
Now comes Economics. I had no idea prior to the test that this would be asked. So literally knew nothing beforehand. But questions can be answered if given a little thought into it. Most of them are from our personal experiences of banking excluding a select few which needs in depth knowledge of finance.
Tips: Just be patient and try and answer all questions. After all there is nothing to lose because no negative. I was kinda confident because the first two sections went pretty well. Don't think they gave much weight-age for the Economics section.
Duration: 60 minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Shortlist after the first round was announced at night. So group discussion and interviews followed the next day. Always been not a fan of group discussions. This time around I tried to keep in pace with the current affairs and most likely topics.
In my panel there were 10 members. It started well, I managed to chip in with a few valid points. Remember the key here is to be different and mention points that can carry the gd forward.
Tips: Make sure you are audible and straight to the point. People are waiting to barge in and speak, so any small pause might rip you off your chance.
