Dint update this blog for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong while...
Well i am not even with accenture now.. I came out of accenture about 9 months ago and working in a captive company now..
The journey with accenture was just AWESOME!
Had loads and loads of fun.. loads and loads of WoRk(believe me, they extracted work for every penny they paid).. Lots of friends.. Few wierd ppl... Lots of unkept promises.. Lots of appreciations and awards.. Lots of opportunities to learn... Been to chennai bangalore Hyderabad offices.. .. Flied few times.. Missed my family.. Rejected long term onsite.. Attended Conferences on behalf of the company.. Cleared few certifications..
Well.. what say.. I enjoyed being an accenturian.. :D
But sure say.. I delivered my High Performance there.. God willing, may be will join back in few years.. with a different level of expertise.
All the best to the ones who are reading this blog.. I am having the earlier posts open as few says its still relavant and helpful..

6)WEEKEND spots-mumbai has got everythn..u name it & it wud b dere..frm trekkin 2 pubs & discs..ders everythn out here in mumbai so entertainment wnt b an issue at all.
Culture: Bangalore – the garden city of India is a veritable melting pot of various religions and cultures. The city has acquired a vibrant cosmopolitan environment. the city has everything to offer, starting from pubs and magical nightlife, quick getaways and big shopping malls to thriving arts and entertainment scenes from the Indian classics. In true sense we can call Bangalore the “style city” of India.
Climate and Geography : DUDE THE BEST PART .... awesome climate.. cool breeze through the year, however excessive rains can be dizzy ! The various types of rock found in the area include granites, gneiss's and migmatites.
Mode of transport:Buses .... however Metro likely to commence from 2010. The traffic is just horrible ... better to use public transport, so guys give up for ur hopes for Pulsar 220..!!
ACCOMMODATION: this will burn big hole in ur pocket. May range from 12k to 18k for a 3BHK according to location. I live in BTM, walking to Accenture's DC center and pay 14k for the house. We are 6 ppl.
WEEKEND.. Bangalore has highest number of pubs in Asia, Big Gardens and amazing tourist spots very near to city !! Almost everything to cheer about !!
Pune in the views of Mr.Vaibhav:
)Accenture centre-->Hadpasar
2)culture-->only thing I wanna say is its a good place 2 work n live...at least better dan Mumbai....
3)climate--> In summers around 40 deg..Heavy rains will be der at d tym of joinin for sure... In winters around 10 deg..
4)Mode of transport-->Byk s d best mode of transport in Pune....Otherwise Bus transport s also available...In India,only in Pune BRT[Bus Rapid Transit] system s used for transport over buses... its cool P.S.-- U need to be very good at drivin bykes if u r gona use bykes..traffic s really horrible in Pune...
5)ACCOMODATION--> It wont be a big issue....Flats r available in rent in evry area in city.... around 3K for 1BHK flat...
6)WEEKEND spots--> Few good tourist spots r der near pune....Lots of hang out places r der in city...n ya pubs n discs r also der....
Hyderabad in the views of Ms.Ramya:
1. Accenture Centre: Hi-tech city.
2. Culture: Any person can get accustomed to the city, ppl here very amicable, night life's rockin , the city is actually in a state of transition from a slow-paced to a fast life style.
3. Climate: Scorching sun in the month of May, otha than tht the weather conditions are pretty much bearable.
4. Mode of transport: Buses, Ricks and occasionally ppl go by local trains a.k.a MMTSTraffic in key parts of the city is terrible.
5.Accommodation: The lease can range from 3k-4k per head in and around the Hi-tech city (whr the accy centre is located). There are many hostels and P.G accommodations around this area.
6.Weekend spots: Banjara hills and Jubliee hills hav many hangouts and these 2 r the happening places for the weekend.That's just a gist of it and it truly ROX!!!
Gurgaon in the views of Mr.Rohit:
I guess i can write for Delhi .. coz i have spend some years there too!
Centers: Gurgaon
Culture: lol, everyone knows Delhi, a splendid mix of UP, Haryana Punjab and Rajasthan
Climate: Extremes !!! 45+ in Summers and close to 0 in Winters !
Mode of transport: the very cruel BlueLines ! However now Metro is best option ! It runs from Rohini in north to South Ex in south. Dwarka in West to Shadhara in East--> now extended to Noida! The junction is at KashmiriGate.. so virtually entire delhi is covered !
ACCOMMODATION: Cheaper then Bangalore or Mumbai
WEEKEND: Delhi is big enough to explore..!! The huge malls, fun and foods etc !However u can visit nearby places to Jaipur- 300 and Agra-200 kms
correction abt gurgaon center by Mr. Vaibhav pant: ROHIT BHAISAAB, thanx for d post, but it seems there r sum things to b corrected....it seems uv spent time in delhi, bt nt recently.....so let d DELHIITES handle this....correction1- GURGAON IS NOT IN DELHI.....Its cums under NCR(national capital region)part of haryana......correction2- mode of transport near gurgaon is mainly private cabs.. DELHI METRO is still far from hitting NCR... though it is projected to reach gurgaon smwhere arnd 2009-10.......TRANSPORT REALY SUXcorrection3- delhi is cheaper in accomodation dan bangalore n mumbai but gurgaon offers somewhat d same rates.THINGS TO NOTE1 THING IS FOR SURE,
WEEKENDS WILL BE BETTER DAN ANYWHERE IN DELHI..... THOUGH 1 REGRET U MAY HAV IS NIGHTLIFE HERE IS NON EXISTENT....
Chennai in the views of Ms.Kirthi:
i wil fill up reg chennai... centre---only one accenture office at sholinganallur on old mahabalipuram road...basically training are given in other small training centres near guindy like places...
culture---chennai is becoming like bang in culture wise...people are friendly and languags spoken are tamil,hindi,english...u can also find lots of telugu,keralites here...
climate---since chennai has marina beach, the climate is humid here...in summer the temperature soars high..but u can hav pleasent nights...
mode of transport---am not aware about the transport provided my accenture(though one of my school frnd goes to acc thru bus..)i dunno which areas the office bus covers and whether we are eligible for the transport facility durin trainin...but in general u hav lots of buses and electric trains and esp share autos which offers cheap yet easy transport facility all over chennai...but traffic kills you during peak hours
accomodation---flats are available in the city but not nearer to the office...u can get accomodation in areas like velachery,..rates range from 6000 for flats in near the city area...in the outskirts, u can get rentals for 3000
weekend---u can enjoy a lot in weekends..there are many places for hangouts ranging from multiplexes,malls,beach,temples,pubs,coffee shops etc...
Hey here are some FAQs about accenture.. I didnt answer these FAQs. I got this thru a mail. It really answers our doubts. I dunno about its Authenticity or the year these questions were answered..
Que .hello friends,wat kind of preparation should i do ??
ans- dnt u wry.. u jus ve to b thorugh in C... de remainin u can pick up as dey train u... dey ll train u up on RDBMS,SQL... 4 passing every test dey give u 3 attempts...need nt get tensed.. u can cope up... Start Readin now... or full have Sleeples Nights durin ur Training.
q. wanted to know what they will teach us during training period and should i have to take any courses before joining accenture. so plz help me.
a. wont teach u nething although they will try hard to make u know every subject within 2 days... which is not feasible at all.......... all objective questions that comes in several company offcampus test ... try to solve yesvant kanetkar's TEST UR SKILL .. that may help u... rest try to find as many online questions on c as possible........ dont learn nething u r never sure in wat platform u will be put in....
q. trng location ??
a. Accy HRs will intimate u thru mail as to when ur trainings would start. So don't bother! You must have given them a preference list as to the order of the locations u prefer. However, before this "Preference List" come a few other priorities. I'll just list them for you.1. The first priority is based on requirement. If you've opted for Banglore, but there is a requirement in Mumbai(and none in Banglore), you're preference list is gonna be chucked out through the window!2. If you're preference says Pune, but there are no fresher training facilities in Pune! So you'll be posted to a training facility(say in Mumbai as that's the closest to Pune and also if Mumbai can accomodate you). They may contemplate a transfer later in your career.Now, if you do get posted to a location you didn't actually picture yourself, you could always request for a transfer. Your trainings can be anywhere in Mumbai, Hyd, Chennai or B'lore. The location MAY also depend on ur preference sheet which u gave while u successfully cleared the interview. Once ur trainings are over, the HR MAY post u to a different location. But it depende stotally on ur luck wheter u get ur preferred location..u may or may nt
q. trng accommodation ??
a. u guys are gonna get royal accomodation during the first 2 weeks. After that u better fend for urself. And yeah...when I mean royal... i mean ROYAL!!! Enjoy while it lasts! Officially...accy wouldn't provide u any help with the accomodation. However, u could speak to the training co-ordinators here and they'll help u to get a house on RENT.. yeah... its kinda good that we become independend soon! In my case, we enjoyed the first week... come back from office and use the swimming pools and gyms of the places where we stayed, roamed around, made new friends, got dropped by the company bus right in front of our places,etc! After the first week, u'll fell comfy with a few ppl and will start hunting for houses after training! Now, these brokers here know that we're laden with money (IT industry has that kinda reputation), so they make maximum use of it! Finally most of us found houses... the trainin period is usually for 2 months...
q. in r offer lettr it's mentioned tht we'll b gettin 10,000 for relocation..??is it fixed.i mean evrybdy will get tht or do we need 2 show r expenses which we made 4 relocation n we'll get tht amount only [ofcrse up2 10000...]???
a. All ur expenses will be reimbursed subject to a MAXIMUM of 10k. If u produce bills for 8k u'll only be given 8k. However, even if u produce bills for 15k, only 10k will be reimbursed. 5k is ur own expense. I hope I've clarified this. anything which will contain ur relocation within 10k! And this could also include ur parents flight charge.
q. can we chose the techonology in th 2nd month f trainin? or we'll be allotted one based one some conditions..???? a. The HRs, at the end of the first month of training, will ask u which technology ur most comfy in. If ur comfy with Java, and they've not enough ppl for Java, they'll put u in Java rather than .NET where they've a greater requirement. If ur comfy with nothing, then they'll put u in something they feel best. streams are most of the time decided on random basis, depends upon the requirement at the moment, but chances are bright that you can choose between, three-four streams, while in training and you mite end up, getting technology of your choice,well for swappig, depends upon the hr, if she agrees thats fine.
q. wat r the sub taught in trng?? a. practicals - C, data structures, DBMStheory - SDLC etc ...
q. bench period ??
a. Now on minimum bench period... zero days. You could get locked onto a prj as soon as u exit training. How long will u be on bench if u get there??? As long as some prj needs ur services q.Weekly appraisals...??
a. i guess u meant weekly reviews of what u've done. Thats all time bound and prj specific. If the prj is into its final phases, u may have a daily review, else it could be a weekly or a monthly review. Now, if u actually did mean appraisals as in evaluating ur performance in accy... then the HRs would have no other job than to keep evaluating We've those kind of appraisals once in six months!
q. agreement ??
a. Bond is an agreement between u and the company stating that you'd work with Accy for a minimum period or else pay compensation to the company towards your training and allied expenditure. Now, in Accy... UR asked to sign a bond only when u nearly complete the training. Depending on your technology, the bond amout may vary. For example the bond amount for Java is 50,000/- whereas that for a hot skill like Peoplesoft, it's 1,00,000/-. The bond duration is for one year.Hope i've answered this?
q. hey,can u tell me the work pattern is it hectic or so?? a. Work is as hectic as the prj demands. If ur into a maintenance prj, in all probability ur work is pretty chill. If u get into development, in all probability the pressure depends on how fast u move things!
q. Will there b any medical test before joining??????? a. no…
Q. there are a lot of rumours that in india accenture only has outsourcin n consultancy...but no core technical work is undertakn....i knw it cnt be true lukin at the strature of the company...but still wantd to confirm it wid u..... A. Accenture is Technology, Outsourcing and Consulting company and can expect all types of work in India. If you in to Solution then the nature of work will be technology. Working on a outsourcing way is not easy need to come across lots of challenges. Coz you will be working on a domestic on site format and its challenging to satisfy the clients and its good experience. It also make you understand how other company works and at the same time how accenture functions its operation.As everyone knows Accenture is the No.1 Consulting company in the world. And technology in accenture is par from many other companies. Lots of scope to learn new techonology. Will scrub shoulders with many Tech savvy guys. q. I have a doubt, tell us something about on-site oppurtunities in accy, it is often said that since there is enough workspace in other counties for accy there is not enough on-site oppurtunites when compared to other indian companies which have lesser presence in other countries.
a. Oh yeah... onsite opportunities are again prj dependend. If the prj feels u've worked long enuf and that the onsite team could do with u, u'll be there! How long... maybe 1-2 yrs!Or else if there a kinda training which the prj wants u to do and if this training's only available onsite, they'll send u . Now, does accy give lesser oportunities to go onsite... well Acy has a presence of abt 1.5lac employees worlwide! Whom all will they give an onsite opportunity? Infy (at max)has only half accys strength. So u may feel they send ppl onsite more too often. This is my personal opinion. I'm not saying I'm right... but i believe i'm not wrong either
q. is the salary going to be revised before we join?? a. sal will increase after u join, confirmd, 1yr after u join dat is.. lol.cheerz..
q. test during training ??? a. well, in training, tests are taken of only those subjects,which are taught during the training, and yes if you fail, you are given two more attempts to secure 70 %, failing to achieve this, could led to termination. u'll have to take periodical exams during ur training... just like we have sessionals during our college. But the only difference is, all u need to do here is pass and this performance wouldn't be considered in ur accy career again.
Q. What will be the difficulty of the three Tests in the Greenfield Training?.Like if u rate it out of 5? A. Three tests there will be1. Technical2. Soft skills3. domain specific1. in technical, we wil learn C,C++,SQL,RDBMS,S/W engineering etc. rating can be 42. in soft skills , we wil learn communication skills, how to deal with clients and overall personality development.. rating again 43. In domain specific training, they will put us in specific domain or project , it can be java, data mining, databases, developing, ERP, SAP etc. so we wil be given specific n exclusive training for that
q. Do we get to choose the domain (technology) we want to work on ... or the HRs decide it for us ??
a. The HRs decide bro... if we were left to decide for ourself, there wouldn't be any guy in mainframes U can work broadly on Java, .NET, Peoplesoft, Testing or Mainframes. Mainframes seem to be in the obsolence mode, so I would recommend u try to avoid that. Testing is fine and experienced testers are in great demand too! Peoplesoft is an ERP and it also seems to have regular client bonuses. Microsoft is currently giving a big boost to .NET by introducing the Avanarde prj. And JAVA is evergreen and u can never go obsolete with Java (at least not so for the next 10 yrs)! So now its ur pick. Training...well... i believe training should always be domain specific. No use teaching u all the domains when u'll work just in one, right?!! However, first month of training is common for all.
q. Does our performance in the training period have anything to do with the allotment of domain and IDC (If we perform well will our HRs allow us select the domail and IDC) ?
a. really don't think ur training performance is of any importance for future prjs. Its just like once u get placed from coll ur % no longer matters at office! Once ur in, ur IN. Thats all... Why do I think so??? Bcoz, the topper of training batch as well as ppl who did below avg are posted in the same prj. So thats why i thing training performance isn't all that important. Its just impreative u pass, thats all!
Q. IS ACCENTURE HIRE N FIRE COMPANY ?? A. The answer to your question is Accenture is not a hire and fire company. The only thing accenture wont encourage is faking them and violating the policy. If they find that some of them doing then they will immediately sack them. Which is with every company. Apart from that accenture is a cool place to work and it has a very very unique working culture and also the training in accenture is second to none.
Q. GROWTH IN ACC ? A. Growth rate in accenture IS very good only if you are very good As far as growth is concerned its high at accenture if you performing beyond expectation not just in your project but other activities aswell like attending training and completing certifications on testing etc. The min hike during appraisal will be 20%. The appraisal cycle happens during the August end and the new revised salary will be given on Sept salary.
Q. SALARY HIKE ?? A. while hiring they give you less but on the subsequent yr appraisal they will put you on the industry standard (from 30-50% hike) i think thats a lot.
Q. WATS IDC ? A. its Indian Delivery Center(Solutions, Services, Enterprise etc).
q. Regarding bank guarantee, I would like to know whether we have to pay any amount initially form our pockets as bank guarantee or things of that sort. ??? a. Absolutely NO!!! All u've to do is sign a guarantee saying u wouldn't leave accy for at least one yr. This shoudl be countersigned by one blood relative and another not necessarily blood relative. The countersigning is b'coz if u dont't cough up the cash, accy would be legally entitled to extract the money from ur blood relative! There is absolutely nothing else to it!!!
q. is it compulsory to submit passport at the time of joining?is there any relaxation because it's not possible for me to get it before july. i did not get my offer letter still????
a. A passport in simple words just says ur ready to go onsite if the company wants u to. If u get an onsite opportunity and u don't have a passport then, u'll have to get one made if u want to go onsite. Thats all!!!
q. and i wanted to know how much on hand salary wil we get if our package is 2.7 pa?
a. hand sal cme to 17-18k depends hw u design ur sal..(yes we get to design our sal..)
q transport ???
a. They provide FREE EXTENSIVE Transport facilities. One of the best in the software industry. They've buses running from one corner of mumbai to the next. PS: If u use company transport, ur TA is subject to tax. However, this would just amt upto Rs.100/- per month. Thats chill, right?!!
q. Are weekends off ???
a. Hell yeah!!! But that is unless ur prj doesn't want u to specifically work on weekends. However, in my career till now, I've never worked on weekends!!! q. Dress code...??
a. Business Formals for men (without the tie) and women from Monday thru Thursday. In friday you can wear any damn thing u want provided it has a collar(for men) and it doesn't expose tooooo much skin(for women & men)!
q. work culture ??
a. Its a total fundu place and may remind u of college sometimes. The team lunching together, pulling legs, laughing out loud, running around (rarely.. but no one stops u), chatting, joking, etc!!! In fact there have also been scenes where we've organized a tug of war within a bay! Now beat that!
q. ) variable pay ??
a. You always get ur variable pay, right?!! Only thing is that it comes ones in six months or in other words is bi-annual! Its kinda ur one month salary in advance every year! Do u know anybody who hasn't received their variable pay in accy? q. ESPP ???
a. Hell yeah... accy does have ESPP (Employee Share Purchase Plans) wherein 2.5k of ur salary per month is allotted to buying shares. The good thing abt this is u incur no brokerage fees on this purchase. q. tea coffee ??
a. I personally dn't drink coffee and tea... but if u really want to carry something to ur desk... why coffee... why not the FREE HOT CHOCOLATE our machine vends for u guyz?!!
q. the email id ,i gave during our placmnt time has some problm n m not able to access it..??
a. simply write them a mail at campus.quries@accenture.comstating ur date & place & batch of recruitment...they will do the rest..hwever donot change the phonenumber u gave them...cheerz...
Q. What are the chances that accenture will sponsor you 2 to do MBA at IIM-B or XLRI ?? A. The chances are there to be part of MBA programe only for those guys whose designation are TL and above and consistently getting a good ratings
Q. After one joins the company wat r the efforts one needs to put in so as to get good ratings and b consistent??
A. The utmost criteria to be among the top to push for a good ratings are1) Good work atitude2) Visibility among the Team3) Good rapport with all the team members and most importantly with your superiors.4) Need to deliver your modules on time and also it should be a quality deliverables. Also helping your peer5) Good Communication Skill ( This simple word has got big definition). It doesnt mean just speaking ability it also means how good a communicator you are amongst the team. If you late if you on going on leave you should communicate in advance to your supervisor.etc.....
q. swapping trng or joining location ??
a. Now on Swapping, there are strings attached to the swap! The person with whom u intend to swap must be acceptable to ur prj too (huge hurdle here as the prj will have to train these ppl and this means waste of precious time)! If this is ok and ur prj mates are chill with a new person coming into it, the HRs should be able to sort it out from there! PS: Agar HRs ka bas chalta... they'd given everyone their preferred location!
q. as accy devides our CTC in net sal,var pay,LTL.... n also heard tht they allow employees to configure it. can any1 tell me wts d basic per month they provide to a fresher????? n wts the percentage they allow in PF n HRA????
a. PF% is self decided. u can put in upto 12% of ur basic sal and the company will put in the same amt too. So if u put in 5%, the company will chip in with 5% too. I guess thats how it works. I'm not really sure how muchur basic will be... however, it should be something between 9&11k. On ur HRA... I really don't know the %, but it is somewhere between 1.5-3k.
q. i can see in my Offer letter some Extension of 90 days period .. how many people get into it ... What can u talk about that extension. ?
a. Extension is something which u can avail if u will are unable to join accy on the specified date due to personal or what so ever reasons! All u gotta do is write a mail to the HR (call her up first to confirm the mail id u gotta send it to) and ask for an extension. They'll do the rest.
q. how will I get joining info ??
a. Guyz... u need a valid email id first so that the HRs can send you the jng letter. Later when u approach ur jng date, the HRs will give u a call to know if u'll join or not
q. What is the policy on use of gadgets inside the company premises? Cell, iPods, digicams, walkmans, laptops, pen drives etc?
a. ur mobile phones are exempt from policy as long as u don't take pics, record videos, listen to mp3s and allied stuff. So its quite obvious that walkmans are against policy. Digicams, pen drives and ipods are a strict NO-NO. And finally ur personal laptop will have to be approved by ur manager. If he approves it, u shouldn't have a prob. However, u can't use wi-fi or any other network to connect ur laptop!
this laptop will be monitored by the accy network. These guys can monitor ur lappy online anytime of the clock!So u store anything personal u can rest be assured of a royal screw session!
Accy does allow u to use headsets attached to ur PC, however, u need to raise a request at some place and they'll give u ur headset. And on why no mp3s??? We were told during induction that mp3 mostly contain pirated music,so... And the final part... NO ONE STICKS TO THESE POLICIES!!! ppl do personally listen to mp3s download videos, take videos & pics thru their cell cams.... But do make sure u never do this in front of an evangelic HR!!!
q. doesnt ERP need domain specialists ???
a. hmmm... yes, ERP does require domain specialists too. But you also need some ppl who will do all the very basic stuff here, right? Now these freshers will be trained gradually to match up to their seniors. Besides, if all companies start looking for experienced guyz, what'll happen when all these guys buzz off?!! You could think abt it...
q. What do I think of accy ads???
a. Well... I feel they're pretty creative, but unfortunately it fails to reach out to the common mass as to what accy does. I've heard ppl saying is accy an internationaly reknown "sports club"??? Man... that freaked me out... but can't help it, right?
our ads r a bit "tangential" to ordinary ppl.Whn i ws recruited by ACN most of my relatives said one and the same thing " Why dint u opt for Infosys? " We may make damn good ads, but i believe ACN will remain under marketed in india for some more yrs...i think its ppl like u and me who will have to do the grass root marketing!!!
q. i wanted to know that what aall recrreational facilities can b availed in offices, jaise swimming pool any sort of sports, watching cricket etc..and yes can we enjoy orkuting there ???
a. Another lack lusture stuff from accy... we've only 2TT tables, one pool table and one helluva(a-m-a-z-i-n-g) GYM, but amazingly small in size too for a 5000 strong building. I guess we do have culturals once in a while too! But the final word is, I don't think u'll like the recreation facilities they provide here.
q. What Kind of medical facilities i can expect for my parents ???
a. All Accy employees are covered by medical insurance upto Rs.3,00,000. You can cover upto 6 ppl including urself! All u gotta do is put in ur parents names as ur dependants. After this whatever medical bills they incur will be reimbursed.
bro... I guess anything which needs a doc! I believe that this is kinda similar to Mediclaim and other insurance. I recently wanted to claim for my Dad's hospital charges (he was admitted for a couple of days for chest congestion, had loads of scans done, etc). All these ppl said was, bring along the originals of all bills along with the photocopy of the scan reports and they'd reimburse the entire amount.
q.Does Accy provide cutting edge technology. ?? a.Depends on what u call cutting edge technology and what kinda job u'll do later in ur career... Now trainings depend on the trainers the most. I've come across amazingly great ppl (who know the A-Z of the topic) as well as really pathetic ppl (who're just there to get a few brownie points!).
q. whts is d avg time a JSE take to jump to d nxt higher level(dude u left ths query unanswrd in d prev post). also plz lemme knw d growth prospects fr a fresher in accen. a. 1yr. And you'll grow at the rate u perform and keep ur bosses happy.
q. whts d kind of salary hike doz a persn whu hs wrkd fr 1.5odd yrs in accen gets, while switching to another co.?? i mean i hav knwn guys makin a switch frm infy being paid royally in d new firm jus coz f d kinda trainin thoz guys r imparted. plz compare if posb. a. Ur right! If u work in accy for a couple of yrs, u'll be in real hot demand within the market. Why??? Bcoz accy is the best place to train ur fresh mind. By the time u exit accy u'll have good solid fundas and that will make u quite tempting for other softy companies. q. i wanted to know about the state of developement work ac accy. do they allocate a fresher in development. a. 1. yes they do put freshers on development.
