Company Name : Accel Frontline
Type : Job Interview, Fresher

Dear Friends,

This is Akshat Jain currently pursuing B.Tech. from IIMT Engg. College, Meerut. Accel Frontline visited our campus two times for a complete campus recruitment process. I could not remember the date but interview date was 23rd of May`2008 firstly,

It took Written Exam: Written exam consist of 50 questions in which, 10 ques. consists of Maths and other 40 ques. consists of  Language, Harware, Operating System.

Questions are very hard for a software engineer if one does not have any hardware knowledge. Only software, language and other theoritical subject are not enough, one should have good knowledge. Also Accel Frontline was hiring B.Tech. Candidates first time for their some special projects and before that it recruits technical candidates from other courses not from B.Tech. Secondly, There was a Personal Interview One-to-One. It was just a formal HR.

They require that a candidate must have habbit of learning and a willingness to do something for a company and for others too. He should be keen to learn and good attitude. Ques they ask from me is that: Actually, I have a gold medal, which i pin up on my colour, then they ask me, U are also a gold medalist(before me one goldmedlist have attended a interview ) I answered that, Sir actually i am not a gold medalist but I have written a book of Mathmatics for a college(It was my dream which could not have completed till yet) thats why colg awarded me, this medal. Then lady HR. ask me that which type of book you have written, I answered that Ma’am i have just provide some basics of Mathematics to crack a problem in maths of many many steps.

For Example i eliminte the use of many steps in solving a integration and give how to use gama function for that same integration, with minimum steps just two or three instead of 10-20 initially. There were two HR’s and GM of the company. They accepted my answere and GM give some indiacation to one lady HR. I think this answere was my key for the selection. then they ask me about my family background, and ask me about bond that my parents will be ready to sign a bond and i too. I answered that yes, sir then they ask that why? I answered that sir my parents will not stop me to go forward on any right path.

Then GM ask how do you analyse that which company is right or wrong for u? Suddenly he ask that Accel Frontline is right company for me or not. I replied Yes sir, Then they ask me that Are u ready to work all over india.? I replied that sir, yes i am ready to work any where in india and all over world too. They give a quite smile and say thank you. After half an hour of completion of interview they announced tha result and we were 11 students got selected in Accel Frontline, seven to them of EC branch and four of them my branch.(Ankit Vidyarthi, Arun Kumar, Shashankh Gupta, Akshat Jain). Selection procedure may be changed because it was the first time of their selection of B.Tech candidated, for further recruitment they can change the procedure.

Be prepare for that also be prepare of good hardware knowledge. okk thank you, meet in the company. Er.Akshat Jain

+ GROUP DISCUSSIONS By Premium Blogger 11 November 2008 at 4:50 pm and have No Comments

Group Discussions (GD):

Many companies and institutes are making Group Discussion as the first criteria for screening the candidates for face-to-face interviews.

Group Discussion: Defined
“Group Discussion, as the name itself indicates, is a group activity carried out by participating individuals. It is an exchange of ideas among the individuals of a group on a specific topic.”

Do’s and Don’ts of Group Discussion::

1) Keep an eye contact while talking:
While having a Group Discussion:, keep an eye contact with every participant of the team. Do not look only at the evaluator.

2) Initiate the GD:
It is gathering a great points if you initiate the GD. But while initiating the GD keep in mind that you have some matter knowledge. Without having knowledge and initiating the topic in scoring negative points in GD and is bad intuition.

3) Allow others members to speak as well:
Interrupting any body while he/she is talking is against rule of good GD, even if you don’t agree with his/her point of view. Instead make some resume and distinct the points when it’s your turn.

4) Speak clearly:
Speak loud and clear but it doesn’t mean that loud. Politeness is their in your voice. Use simple and understandable words. Express your feelings calmly and politely without being aggressive if you are disagreeing with someone.

5) Make sure to bring the discussion on track:
In GD what people do is to take GD out of track of the topic. So if by any such means, group is distracting from the topic or goal then simply take initiative to bring the discussion on the track. Make all group members aware that you all need to come to some conclusion at the end of the discussion. So stick to the topic.

6) Positive attitude:
Have Positive attitude, confidence and positive body language. Do not try to be aggressive and dominate anyone. Show your interest in discussion.

7) Speak sensibly:
People usually do one think that whether they know or not about the topic just they speak and speak insensibly. Do not speak as this just to increase your speaking time. Your thoughts should be sensible and relevant instead of irrelevant speech. Don’t worry even if you speak less.

8 ) Listen carefully to others:
Our great scholars said that – “Speak less and listen more!”. So, Pay attention while others are speaking. This will make coherent discussion and you will get involved in the group positively. With properlistening you came to know what the negative points other say and at your turn you point at those points. You point will surely make people agree with you.

9) No need to go into much details:
Some basic subject analysis is sufficient. No need to mention exact figures while giving any reference. You have limited time so be precise and convey your thoughts in short and simple language.

10) Formal dressing:
As this is the main round of GD so be in your formals. Do not take it casually. No fancy and funny dressing. You should be comfortable while speaking in group. Positive gesture and body language will make your work easy.
