Loading... Born a day after the American Independence in Jalandhar, Punjab, India, I've spent most part of my life there. Studied till 5th standard in St. Joseph's Convent School, Jalandhar, and later had to join Apeejay School, Jalandhar as, perhaps, the former school decided boys could be troublesome in a girls' school after 5th. After completing schooling in APJ (till 12th), joined National Institute of Technology [NITJ] (again, in Jalandhar) as a Computer Science & Engineering student in 2005. During the worst period of downtime (recession), got an on-campus placement in Accenture in 2008. Graduating from college took another year after that, and finally joined Accenture in mid-2009. This is my story so far... Btw, you can find me at: facebook twitter last.fm digg librarything granular

Since I landed in Bangalore, my schedule has been extremely busy. Yeah, I had heard in the past that the training period in an IT company, especially Accenture, is very tough, I am experiencing it only now. I have yet to take out some time to go out and explore that grand city that is Bangalore. Most of my time everyday is spent preparing for in-training tests. But anyway, the first phase of my training ends today, the last test of first phase being on 28th Sept.

A ray of hope in my frustrating daily schedule has to be me getting .NET stream, that is, I would be doing my second (and final) phase of training on Microsoft .NET technologies, and eventually be getting projects based on it. I am curious to begin my stream training, more because my stream is more web-development oriented (yippie!). By the way, it would be ASP.NET + C#.

That’s all for now. I’ll try to keep my blog as updated as possible.

    Hey, even i’d be joining accenture soon … can you tell me what to expect as you land in bangalore? accommodation? etc? and what about the place where you will be placed? and how long is the training period?

  2. Maaz says:

    and yeah they pay you to travel to bang? or you’ve to arrange your own accommodation?

  3. Maaz,

    If you are a campus hire (recruited from college), Accenture will provide you with accommodation for a first few days (usually 10-14 days), after which you’ll have to find your own, which in turn should not be difficult as Bangalore is full of PGs and flats.

    As for travel expense, they usually reimburse your expenses subject to conditions in your offer letter. The training is around 2-3 months long.

    Hi, I got placed in Accenture last month from my university and I have to do internship from January 2012. So, Can you please tell me what programming languages should I develop to work in Accenture? What kind of tests are taken while doing the internship?

  5. @Md Munna
    First off, congrats :) . I don’t think they take any tests during internship. An internship is meant to be a learning experience. So, chill. :D

    Dude ,what was taught in .net training and what sort of projects are you currrently working on.I ask because i was told .net today at accenture….

  7. sampath says:

    and good blog by the way :)

  8. @Sampath
    During your .NET training, you’ll essentially be taught C# in .NET 2.0, just enough basics to get you going. The course will conclude with a project in ASP.NET, and the exit test.

    Thanks Anurag………what are you doing now in accenture…benched or in a project. Do you have .Net dumps? If so please paste the link here. Is it true that .Net training is very tough…..is it true many fail in it?Once again thanks for replying.

  10. @sampath
    I don’t have the dumps right now; perhaps you can ask your immediate seniors for that. Also, don’t worry about getting pass or fail. Just concentrate on your studying, and you’ll surely clear it. :)
