Hi everyone,

I recently got selected for Accenture's summer internship program for 2025, and I wanted to share my interview experience to help those preparing for similar opportunities. The selection process had four stages, and here’s a breakdown of each:

1. Aptitude and Cognitive Test:

• Duration: 90 minutes

• Format: 90 MCQs

• Topics Covered:

  • English ability (grammar, comprehension)

  • Critical thinking

  • Abstract reasoning

  • Basic MS Office skills

  • Network security

• Tip: Time management is crucial. Make sure to practice aptitude questions regularly, especially those related to reasoning and verbal ability.

2. Coding Round:

• Duration: 45-60 minutes

• Questions: 2 questions, easy to medium difficulty (similar to LeetCode).

• Topics: Arrays, strings, dynamic programming, and basic data structures.

• Tip: Focus on problem-solving patterns, especially from platforms like LeetCode. The problems weren't too tough, but understanding optimal solutions can help save time.

3. Communication Assessment:

• This round tested my listening and speaking skills. It felt like an automated assessment where I had to listen to audio clips and respond accordingly.

• Tip: Practice speaking clearly and concisely. Listening exercises and practicing mock interviews might help here.

4. Final Interview:

• Format: Technical + HR

• Focus Areas:

  • Discussion of my projects (I talked about my text summarizer and other web-based projects).

  • General HR questions (strengths, weaknesses, etc.).

  • Tip: Be thorough with the projects you've worked on. They asked about the tech stack, challenges faced, and improvements made. For HR questions, just be honest and confident.

Overall, it was a smooth experience, and preparation on platforms like LeetCode and GFG really helped me. I hope this gives you some insight into the process. Good luck to everyone preparing!
