Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that

follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

No effort is made to understand the reasons for these recurring disasters. Nobody has or the time or the inclination to understand the reasons. Unless and until we make an effort to understand these disasters will continue year after year with ever-increasing intensity.

The paramount need of day is “information, education, and planning”. Information would mean gathering data from all over the world about environmental degradation, loss of forest cover or mangroves, and pollution of all kinds. Education would mean informing the rules the mankind the reasons for these distressed. People must be made aware of the phenomenon of global warming. The vaporous by products of human activities create gas, like carbon dioxide-CO2 – which traps vast amount of heat resulting in the increase of earth’s temperature, which boosts sea-level, shifts seasons. Unseasonal floods, rains, droughts etc. are the direct pattern of seasons but not so under E1 Nino. Increase of two degrees in global warming can cause a havoc. Greenhouse effect is another phenomenon, which haunts us, incoming sunlight has an energy equivalent to about 3,100 watts bulbs per sq yard. Lower air layers, which contain a number of gases, water vapour , CO2 and many others, trap the heat when these gases warm up, some of the heat is radiated back to earth ‘s surface. This is broadly known as green effect. CO2 emission accounts for 60 percent of warming and has a life span of about 100 years in the atmosphere. Water vapour in contrast has a life span of eight days only. Ozone-level depletion is another cause of series concern as it causes killer cancer for which as yet there is no cure. Once we understand the causes, it is easy to take to remedial measures. This brings us to planning. Effluent management planning is the dire need of the day. There should be steering committee of governmental ministers, scientists, industries, NGOs, to devise means to develop and install machineries to prevent major cause of polluting effluents mentioned earlier. Within a time-bound framework, these devices must be installed, failing which the erring industries must be closed down. No new industries

Page 16: accenture

should be permitted without efficient effluent management and treatment. Chemical pesticides should be phased out gradually. Indian farmer for centuries depended upon organic fertilizers. Let us opt for them again. Recently, studies showed that mother ‘s milk has DDT contents, obviously from consuming food having agrochemicals or pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticides kills both predatory and beneficial insects also. Let us bring back use of Neem for pesticides, which kills only predatory insects, or Tulsi for cleaning the atmosphere from suffocating pollution. Planting these trees on war footing in the urgent need of the day. A country needs more than 30 percent forest cover. Trees retain water in soil and act as buffers against the waves. They are necessary for maintaining the regular cycle of seasons. India has less than 20 percent of forest cover. All this is possible if we opt for information technology. Vast sources of information are available. Let us use them to bring the knowledge to the doorstep of a common man, the executive, the politicians and the judiciary. Environment is a finely-tuned and extremely well –balanced ecological mechanism. Flora and fauna, birds, animals and, of course, humans play a vital role. Touch one adversely and all suffer. We are courting irreversible disaster. We have turned our back on Nature. Let us go back to Nature- at least for our survival.

Directions for Questions 17-20:

One recent example of industrial hyper growth has taken place in the recycling industry, led by the rapid expansion of the recycled paper market. Though many laws were enacted in the late 1980s to encourage (and in some cases require) the collection of waste paper for recycling, there were not, at that time, companies with sufficient capacity to recycle it all. Consequently the collected paper accumulated in storage, usually at the expense of the recycling companies, thereby adding to their overhead and squeezing their already thin profit margins. Today a different situation exists. Fifty-seven new paper mills have been built since 1991, and of these, at least twenty-nine use recycled fiber. This surge in capacity has resulted in a concurrent rise in profits. The price per Ton of waste paper has quadrupled in the past year, as have the prices of corrugated cardboard and used newsprint. Trash haulers have benefited from these conditions by combining their trash hauling and recycling operations. Recycling centers are connected both to the clients to whom they sell endproducts and to those from whom they collect refuse; thus, the company gets paid twice for the same trash, once for hauling the waste and once for selling the usable material. Industry profits have increased more than tenfold during this period.

Page 18: accenture

As the industry has become more competitive, some haulers have chosen to rebate a portion of this money to their clients in the hopes of ensuring their loyalty.

17. According to the passage, which of the following is a reason for the increase in profits in the trash hauling business?

A Haulers' ability to sell both services and products.

B Money offered by haulers to preferred customers.

C Foresight exhibited by the leaders of the industry.

D Haulers' willingness to adapt technology to a changing industry.

E Passage of stricter environmental legislation.

18. It can be inferred from the passage that the price of waste paper

A will increase steadily over the next few years

B will increase as more companies get involved in the industry

C is closely related to the availability of trash haulers

D is not as important to trash haulers as the price they charge for hauling waste

E is sometimes set by the weight of the product

19. The author of the passage would most likely agree with which of the following?

A. Competition between trash haulers and recyclers will prevent the recycled paper industry from reaching its full economic potential.

B. Pressure from anti-environmental groups has increased pressure on the government to oppose recycled paper initiatives.

C. The recycled paper industry may continue to grow at its present rate as long as the industry remains profitable.

D. The profit-seeking of recyclers have overshadowed environmental concerns in the recycled paper industry.

E. Government negligence prevented the recycled paper industry from becoming successful until the early 1990’s.

20. According to the passage, all of the following are results of the increase in the number of new mills using

Page 19: accenture

recycled finer except

A. The price of waste paper has risen dramatically.

B. Trash haulers are earning increased revenues.

C. Profits at recycling centers have increased more than tenfold.

D. The price of corrugated cardboard has risen.

E. Trash haulers have been forced to compete with recyclers.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller. 11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor? A) Electronic computer B) Central Processing Unit C) Memory disk D) A single integrated chip circuit. 12) Select the TRUE statement from the following. A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other. B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper. C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs. D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor? A) Microsoft B) Intel C) Texas Instruments D) Garret 14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors? A) Drivers for calculators B) Core for large mainframes C) Advanced mobile phones D) Used for small handheld computers 15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a: A) 11icro-controller B) Micro-computer C) Micro-processor D) Micro-transistor Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.

A) Just the name of the routine B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned 19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application: A) Waits for the routine to execute B) Continues with other tasks C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory 20) The DLL function after execution returns: A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success Section 2 -Analytical Ability No. of Questions: 20 Duration in Minutes: 20 21) 70 students are required to paint a picture. 52 use green color and some children use red, 38 students use both the colors.

Every Time N U'll B Through Out Definately... 825/5000 were shortlisted for GD and

450/825 for interviews and finally 214/450 are selected. So means their selection

rate is quite fair.

1 APTITUDE TEST:-

and U will be through

QUESTIONS WERE THESE TYPES

Q.1 to Q.3 Prepositions

One of the questions was-

__ his vacation, Ram went __ the forest and also walked __ the river.

Ans: During, to, along (other options may confuse you, like you would think it can be

'across the river', but choose the one in which all three are fitting)

There was 1 question that had only 1 blank as well.

Q.4 to Q.6- Choose the closest meaning to the words in Italics:

One of the questions was-

Due to his versatile qualities, Mohan was able to do all types of jobs quite easily.

Ans: The, the, the

(These type of questions were quite easy and there were 1-2 questions that had only

1 blank as well)

Q.11- Q.15 were based on a passage that was related to operating system (OS 2 and

its newer versions. It was compared to other operating systems and its advantages

and disadvantages were discussed)

The answers of the 3 questions were within the passage and answers of 2 questions

had to be given by interpreting the passage. So I would suggest, since the passage

was long and time consuming, better have a glance on the questions before starting

the reading.

Q.16- Q.20 were based on another passage on PLM (Process Life cycle Management)

This passage was very long so I left it for the end.

Apply the same trick for answering the questions of the very long passage!!!

SECTION II- Q.21 to Q.40

Q.21- Q.26 These were the questions based on Venn diagram.

Example:

If in a class 80 people speak English, 42 speak French, 65 speak Hindi, 12 speak

both English and Hindi, 17 speak both French and Hindi, 13 speak both English and

French and 6 speak all three languages, how many people are there in all?

Page 43: accenture

Q.27- Q.30 A variety of questions were there:

Example:

1 question on Blood relation-

Example:

Pointing to a man Carl said, "He is the son of brother of my mother's husband." How

are Carl and the man related?

Ans: Paternal Cousin

1 question on Directions-

A man walked 2 km east, then he turned NE and walked 5 km. Then he walked 2 km

west. How much and in which direction should he move to reach the initial point?

Ans: 5 km South-West

31-35 were of following type:

Two sentences are given below. Mark the answer according to the following:

A- If only FIRST sentence is required to verify the sentence

B- If only SECOND sentence is required to verify the sentence

C- If both FIRST and SECOND sentence are required to verify the sentence

D- Cannot be verified even if both sentences are considered

Example:

Two trains are traveling towards each other. When will the two trains meet? If -

1. Train A is coming at a speed of 20km/hr

2. Train B is coming at a speed of 30km/hr

Ans: D

36-40 were based on:

If 1 is written as $, and 0 is written as *. Then answer the following:

(e.g. 4 is written as $** and 3 is written as $$)

Example:

3*5-12+10-9/3

The solution of the above expression can be represented as?

Page 44: accenture

Ans: $*$* (1010 in binary i.e. ten in decimal)

SECTION III- Q.41 to Q.55

Q.41- Q.45 Mark the answers according to the following:

A- If all the three options match

B- If FIRST and SECOND options match

C- If FIRST and THIRD options match

D- If none of the three match

Example:

KKTUJNGDFTSR KKTUJHGDFTSR KKTUJNGDFTSR

Ans: C

Another example:

1896.5738491023 1896.5783491023 1896.5738461023

Ans: D

Q.46-Q.49 were based on the Puzzle-type question. It said:

Following was the criteria decided by the selection committee of Indian Cricket

Board:

1) Player's age should be 18-28 years

2) He must be the captain of any cricket team for at least 2 years

3) He must be a Ranji Player for at least 2 years

4) He must have taken at least 20 wickets or made 1000 runs in a calendar year in

Ranji

If 1st condition is not fulfilled .. referred to chairman

If 2nd condition is not fulfilled .. he must be an all rounder with at least 500 runs and

15 wickets

If 4th condition is not fulfilled .. referred to VP

Questions were like following example:

Rahul was born on Dec.10,1979 and is a captain of Ranji team since Feb 2005. He

won man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is:

Page 45: accenture

a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient

Ans: a

(These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows

and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not)

Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types:

Example of type 1:

If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-

8+4-9*7/12+3

Example of type 2:

If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is

true:

a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. ..

(The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming

but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two)

Note: The Examples that I have given are almost the same questions that were

asked to us. Few examples are given by me to just make you understand the type pf

question since I don't exactly remember the question.

2ND Round:- GD (very difficult) keep in mind they r going to recuit those people who

have good communication skills

Posted: 04Feb2008 at 5:23pm 1. Written Test round (Aptitude + Logical reasoning + English(verbal) + focus on the shorter ones to clear first and then the composition) that is plan n give the paper As for us it was composed of 54 questions most of them were really easy and the remaining few were also easy but a bit time consuming focus on topics like (Venn Diagram, Coding and Decoding and English section) Some questions which I remember are like: a) $ represents 1 and * represents 0 in some code and using that if we want to write 3 we can write it as $$ and for 4 we can use $** and so all nearly five questions

Page 49: accenture

from the same pattern!! b) Few questions from the Venn diagram (5 questions) c) Sitting arrangement http://www.coolinterview.com d) Simple English and comprehension (comprehensions on computer science topics like IBM OS and second one on process and multi processing (nt exactly remember the second one but it was related to multiprocessing). Once the written exam was finished it was all panic situation although I was confident about clearing the round but finally the result was declared and I was shortlisted along with 1600 other students and it was a great no. of rejections keeping in mind the total no. of 8000 students) from our college their were 119 students shortlisted so it was a great number of students from a single college, 2) GROUP DISCUSSION This is the main round (Rejection The Maximum) in which all students are short listed to the pick best ones. For the GD We were divided into groups of 15. In my group, and all of them looked confident when I looked at them as we were there in the room. The moderator said he will select on the basis of communications skills, flow of the thought, and audibility of voice and the most important of all Grammar. Topics given to other students along with our groups were spontaneous like "Women Hockey", "Black And White", "Is China a Threat to India in IT". After our topic was told to us he told us to think for a minute as he told the topic I was really confident so I decided to become the moderator and so I started speaking for the topics but after speaking some key points it was like panic and every one latched on the topic and it became a horrible situation so then we were slowly and gradually asked to put our views individually, After that the result came there were four students shortlisted from our group of students two of them were my classmates and one student of my college engg branch I exactly don't remember which one, So the key point u need to keep in mind when u are in the GD is that don't u look at the HR just look at urs subordinates while u speak, be attentive and try to be initiator or concluder if u think u can speak all relevant points and that's work done , After this round nearly 350 students(approx) were left from the first slot of 1000 students and then it was the turn of the Technical and the hr round!! 4) (i) HR INTERVIEW This Interview was purely HR taken by a lady HR. and it Is better to take a chill pill and remain calm n it is really cool round so don't worry and it would be cleared if u spoke to her confidently QUESTIONS WERE: 1.Introduce urself. 2.Top 3 IT companies in India 3.Why accenture? 4.Ur hobbie 5)About the Gap which I had in my academics (II) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW This Interview is a bit of works just need to have a good knowledge of basics of programming, databases (SQL), OS(unix) only few questions put and asked to make

Page 50: accenture

programs like (sorting a Tree, use of recursion, Data Structures, maintaining the bill of the departmental store, and string handling and few others) just brush up ur programming they would ask u to make a single program (for CS and MCA) and once u have written that its job done Finally we were asked to gather in the conference room of the college and the students gathered there and slowly they started calling the names of the placed students along with their date of birth, when I heard my name it was like the sweetest dream we can dream of in our student life coming true and I got the job. So buddies just chill don't panic and be prepared with ur basics and I wish u all best of luck.

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 29th JUNE AT PUNE

First of all a BIG THANKs to being a great platform for all reviews and papers for placement....

Guys this was my 4th cmpy after TCS,INFY,CONGNI.... for you guys who havent got placement for first few cmpys.....I strongly advice u to BE POSITIVE....just give your fight for watever cmpy u r applyin.... I know how it feels lookin at peers whoz got placed.....but tell u itz just tht u just DONT GET DEPRESSED...GIVE FIGHT and very very imp HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE..... it helps....think MAY BE u r DESTINED for a much better cmpy.....i can say it from my exp..i m feelin really better to be placed in ACCENTURE, a truly MNC compared to TCS....

now let me tell u the total procedure.......... ACCENTURE believes in havin a good English..so better improve yr English speakin skills...many ppl were thrown in HR just because they werent able to speak eng properly or may be they had done many grammatical mistakes in ESSAY writing....

they had... 1.APTITUDE TEST(55q in 1hr) ESSAY WRITING 2.GD 3.TI 4.PI

1. APTITUDE TEST: just dont worry.....do chk as many papers from net....n read more n more questions....so tht u get aa proper idea abt howz paper and further prepare yrself for the same....i did the same....day before test i used to browse thru those papers,reviews n NO RS or any stuff like tht...though many of my frnds did refer to RS....may help...but not necessary....

Page 51: accenture

APT includes da same ie verbal,quant,logic..

within verbal 2 passages(go for it atlast), further choose the correct sentence or wring one from those 4 sentences mentioned...... then bit of fill in blanks for fillin appropriate words...(bit vocabs req here) over n above if u have good grasp over english i dont thk u really need to put in much efforts...

as far as quant is concerned....there are some5-6 venn diag related qs further some of data sufficiencies... logic is easiest ....go for it at first ....u r supposed to identify same options for eg: which of these are same 1>123.8989 2>123.8998 3>123.8998 mark 1. if 1st and 2nd are same 2. for 2nd and third same 3. 1,2,3 are same 4. none are same

so here ans 2. der r some other qs as well in logic...but most of them r gettable.....dont worry!!!!

Now how to crack..... see 55qs in 1 hr 2 big passages(1 gen techy other non techy) normally cutoff 35 out off 55 so now solve all qs in paper whichever reqs less time.... but do try to solve from each section....i dont know but ya they may consider sectional cutoff.....so better be cautious

Once APTs got over...u are supposed to write ESSAY for just 5min I know u might gettin panicky.....but dont worry... topics are very simple ..i got IT INDUSTRY IN INDIA... generally topics are WHY ACCENTURE...IT GROWTH...normally reltd to IT what they chk in essays is whether u have good english,how many grammatical, spellin mistakes u have made....this may cost u yr job even if reached till yr HR....so better work over your spellings and grammatical mistakes......sum of my classmates shown gates for the same......

generally ACCENTURE takes apt first then give PPT while chkg of papers take place.....after ppt selected candidates are informed and groups for gd are formed ...gen 10 ppl in 1 grp u better go prepared wit a topic of yr interest...may be u r lucky....and u might be asked as to wat topic u want to discuss... We chose....IMPACT OF MOVIES ON YOUTH IN GD they normally select all the candidates who speak....SO just speak and make a pt....then u r through....but still remember if u initate the discussion and summarize atlast

Page 52: accenture

and just make relevant points in between then theres just no chance of u gettin dropped in GD.....i did it just tht way....

after GD we had our TI or PI(like sum ppl were asked to go for TI first while others HR)

NOW my TI Exp..... 1.put all prjts and PPs n seminars in yr resume.....n ofcourse know enough of it so tht u can convince the person concerned. I had written to 2 prjts -one on C++, other in VB.....i had also mentioned of winning prize in robotics n prize in seminar interviewer started wit normal ""tell abt yrself" then he asked me regardin seminar....i told...but(not quite convincinly)....then he then went over my robotics prjt....abt wat prgm,wat lang,wat microcontroller used.....i was screwed.. i had done this in 1st sem of 2nd yr....n actually didnt knew much abt it....i told sir i did this long back...he told arent u supposed to remember wat u learnt for 4 years....i asked him,sir u might knowin abt engg schedule being engg...he said i have phd in phy....i was feeelin i will be totally screwed... but just then i turned up the page of my resume n told him abt my prjt in VB...i had prepared properly for this one.. he asked me wat part of prgm was difficult to code...fyurther abt tables used.... etc... then other C++ prjt.....but still he wasnt quite convinced abt me..... i told him of 1 idea abt a project i had like to make....gave him a total detailed prespective abt it....dis went around for long(abt 10-12min).... then i told sir i feel its goin to be a bit difficult but i ll try my best abt it.... he then gave some directions as to how to go abt it.......after tht he told me to go to HR.....i thought tht was it...n thought tht idea made the game and tht HR wont be tht difficult. HENCE I SUGGEST ALL U GUYS WHO AREN'T GOOD AT TECHNICAL....GO FOR SOME SOME GOOD PRJTS....N SPECIALLY THINK ABT A NEW INNOVATIVE IDEA WHICH U COULD TELL N IMPRESS INTERVIEWER...DIS WAY U CAN ACTUALLY GIVE THE DIRECTION TO INTERVIEW...N ULTIMATELY INTERVIEWER DONT GET INTO TECHY PRGMS N CONCEPTS MUCH....SO U IMPRESS HIM AS WELL AS PAVE A WAY TO AVOID THOSE TECHY QS

HR (just the icing on cake) after sometime i was called for HR....a lady was there...asked me abt my mini prjt...told her abt the prjt...then asked me a few qs abt hackin...as i had attended as i had attened a seminar on hacking...asked whether u do hackin....i told straightly i dont but told tht im interested.... futher she asked abt my family....told her all smiled in between....was very comfortable......atlast she offered me a biscuit....n tht was it....i knew i was selected.....

but ya some of frnds who werent tht confident were really put to stress test in hr.....one of frnds whoz really good at c...was told how did he come to computers..u know nothin....i ll kick u offf if i get a better candidate....so u better be calm and cool ..they check whether u can handle such stressful situations....so dont worry just be confident in watever u
