Mock Assessment

• You have to give a 20-minute mock test. It is required that you take a mock exam, which will check that your computer, software, and internet are up to par.

Assessment #1: Cognitive and Technical Assessment

You have 90 minutes to finish this assessment. There will be 90 questions. You can switch between questions easily. The level of questions was easy. 
50 questions are included in the cognitive and technical assessment on:
• English ability
• Critical thinking and Problem-solving
• Abstract Reasoning

40 questions are included in the technical assessment on the following topics:

• Common Application and MS Office
• Pseudocode 
• Fundamentals of Networking, Security, and Cloud

Results of the cognitive and technical assessments will be communicated to you within 5 to 10 minutes of completion. You are urged to keep sitting and wait for the outcome. Coding evaluation will start right away after the result notification. For consideration in subsequent stages, you must meet the section and subsection cutoff in our assessment.

After passing the cognitive and technical assessments, candidates are required to take the mandatory coding assessment. The process will come to an end for candidates who do not pass the cognitive and technical examinations or do not take part in them.

Assessment #2: Coding assessment

This test will take 45 minutes to complete 2 Coding Questions. One question was easy and another was of medium difficulty level. 

You will be given two questions to answer in your choice of the following languages.

C++, Dot Net, Java, and Python.

Assessment #3: Communication assessment

The assessment takes about 30 minutes to complete.

To take part in this evaluation, you will receive a separate email containing deadlines and login information.

You will be evaluated on the following criteria as part of the communication assessment.

• Sentence Mastery - You will be given jumbled sentences and you have to place them in the correct order.
  
• Vocabulary - We have to read the sentence which is currently showing on the screen. This is to test your non-verbal skills like pronunciation.
• Fluency - You will be given 2 questions like "Are Arts and Music important in education? Why?", "Should it be necessary to play sports in school? Why?", etc. You will have 30 seconds to frame your story in mind and after that, the recording starts.
• Pronunciation - You will be given only 1 chance to listen to a sentence and have to repeat it exactly. Be sure to pronounce the words exactly as you have listened.

Interview

There was only 1 interview in the ASE role which lasted 20-25 minutes. It was not a technical interview (Not even a single question asked from OOPs, DBMS, DSA, etc.). It was a typical managerial round. You should prepare the managerial questions like what would you do in a particular situation. The panelist was very friendly and nice and made me comfortable like I was talking to my friend. This was my easiest interview so far.

The panelist started with my introduction followed by the project I worked on in my college. Also asked if I have worked or led a team, how do you handle disputes in a team?, Who is your mentor, and tell how he/she helped you in any challenge? , Describe a project you are proud of. There were several questions and ultimately the panelist asked if I had any questions.

My interview was on 1 August and I got the interview result after 1 month. 

So that's my Accenture Interview Experience. I will be sharing more interview experiences in the future. So keep an eye out and don't forget to share this and help your friends. I love to hear from your side if this post helps you in any way.
