Accenture Early Onboarding Experience 2026 | AASE | MCQs + Hands-on + Capstone | Training Journey

Complete Timeline (Nov 2025 – Aug 2026)

Hi everyone,

Many students have questions about Accenture's Early Onboarding process and complete Training Process, so I wanted to share my experience. This is my journey till 7 July 2026.

Phase 1: Primer Training

Training Start Date: 20 April 2026

The first phase was the Primer Training. We were assigned learning modules, where 4 modules were mandatory and we had to choose 3 additional modules.

Mandatory Modules

• Web Development
• Software Fundamentals
• Generative AI
• Agile & DevOps

Modules I Chose

• Java
• MySQL
• AWS

We were given 20 days to complete all the learning modules.

Primer Assessment

After completing the modules, there was an MCQ assessment.

• 20 Questions
• Questions were a mix of all the assigned modules.
• Minimum passing score: 12/20

Phase 2: Delivery Learning

Duration: 20 May 2026 – 30 May 2026

After clearing the primer assessment, the Delivery Learning phase started.

At the end of this phase, Accenture gave us two options:

1. Stream Training (minimum 2 months)
2. Pre-Onboarding Assessment

My assigned stream was Java Full Stack + Generative AI, and I chose the Pre-Onboarding Assessment option.

Pre-Onboarding Assessment

To clear the pre-onboarding process, it was mandatory to pass all three stages.

Round 1: MCQ Assessment

Date: 2 June 2026

• Topic: Java Full Stack + Generative AI
• 50 Questions
• Duration: 75 Minutes
• Minimum Qualifying Score: 60%

---

Round 2: Practical Assessment + Viva Voce

Practical Assessment Date: 9 June 2026

• Duration: 120 Minutes
• Included a hands‑on coding assessment.
• Minimum Qualifying Score: 60%

Viva Voce

Date: 11 June 2026

• Duration: 20 Minutes

The interviewer mainly discussed my hands‑on project and asked a few Spring Boot questions, including:

• Explain your project.
• What does @RequestParam do?
• What is @RestController?
• What is @Transactional?
• A few other basic Java and Spring Boot questions.

---

Round 3: Capstone Project + Viva Voce

Project Duration: 24 June – 30 June 2026 (5 Working Days)

For the Capstone Project:

• A Java backend project was already provided.
• I had to complete the missing backend functionality.
• Develop the complete frontend from scratch using React.
• Integrate the frontend with three microservices.
• Ensure the complete application worked correctly.

Capstone Viva

Date: 7 July 2026

• Duration: 15 Minutes

The interviewer first asked me to enter custom data into the application and verify that everything worked correctly without generating any errors.

Then I was asked the following questions:

1. How do you create an object to demonstrate runtime polymorphism?
2. What are the different types of @Autowired injection?
3. Why do we use Spring Data JPA when JPA already exists?
4. What is the @Modifying annotation?

Current Status

This is my journey till 7 July 2026.

One interesting thing I noticed is that stream training has already started for everyone, including students who chose the Pre‑Onboarding Assessment option. So even if someone doesn't clear a particular assessment, they can still continue with the stream training while completing the remaining mandatory stages.

As of now, clearing every Pre‑Onboarding stage is mandatory to successfully complete the Early Onboarding process.

I hope this post helps future candidates understand the complete Early Onboarding process. I'll update this post whenever I receive further updates.

Update

11 July 2026: Received the Gear Up Day email.
