I’ll try to keep this one short because I have an OOAD exam tomorrow and I haven’t really done anything.

Abhiyaan is Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering’s (Navi Mumbai) Technical cum Cultural Festival. I’ve not been attending for the past 2 years for different reasons but this year I had to, considering I was the event head of LAN gaming. We had over 165 entries for our event and that’s quite a lot considering not even the Technical Paper Presentation event, which is supposed to be the crown jewel of Abhiyaan drew that many entries despite what I believe was a Rs. 10,000 prize for each branch’s winner in that event (and there were 5 such branches I believe. Comps/IT, Electronics and Telecommunication, Instrumentation, Mechanical and Chemical). It was indeed hectic with 47 entries for NFS (an event I was in charge of).

Ever heard this before? If you haven’t its probably good. Read on.
The whole thing started last Thursday, the 21st of February when I was late to a practical. I spent my time in the library doing my work and one of my class mates comes and tells me that Accenture is coming to Pillais this Saturday (23rd of February, 2008) and we (our college’s students) are invited!
The requirement was to have a mere 55%+ aggregate up until your 4th semester. The reporting time was 8AM. So we leave college 3 hours early telling our professors that most students want to prepare their resumes and all of them need to study for the tests.
If you don’t know this already, companies have an aptitude test, group discussion (GD), a HR (Human Resources) interview and a Technical Interview (hence forth referred to as Techni or TR).

I must warn you. This is going to be long post explaining the entire process. If in case you’re interested, do read on. This is written for freshers (students) who want to give Accenture interviews, know about their Aptitude test, GD, HR and Technical Interview rounds. I’m going to try to keep the 2 day ordeal as short as possible, yet informative.

Excuse the insanely ghastly time but I just completed my first resume about 10 minutes back. I just thought that if I can stay awake till 3:15 AM in the morning writing a resume, I can surely write a blog note to remind myself about this a few years down the line. This is where it all started. Your first resume is exactly 2 pages long, consists of 2 fonts in 3 different sizes using 3 styles of writing and is a 18,548 byte long docx file having 671 words (or so says Microsoft Office 2007 :P)

Just a note to future me reading this one, you didn’t have a crazy flash urge to write a resume 1 AM in the morning. You needed to have one for your mock interview scheduled at your college on Friday. Even though its only a mock interview, hope the mock panel doesn’t mock you and hope it actually gives you the mock job

Time to sleep and pull a rabbit out of the hat when I (hopefully miraculously) get up at 7AM in the morning for a 9:30 AM Microprocessors lecture. Thanks for wasting one and a half minute of your time that you’re probably never going to get back Be sure to waste another precious 30 seconds writing a bitching comment about this Round numbers are so much better than fractions
