I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Accenture (Chennai) in Sep 2024
Interview
The first round is an online test that has two levels. First is aptitude and if you cleared that it'll take you to next level which is a coding round. There will be 2 coding questions of easy to medium level. The next round is communication test which basically evaluate your communication, listening and speaking skills. The final round is one on one interview where both technical and managerial questions will be asked. Overall it is easy to crack the interview if you are strong in basics.
