@BVR You really need to talk with your manager and see how they see it. Do not make excuses or explain just ask them to tell you what they have to say about the project. Because that is what your interviewers will know. And they are always going to believe that even if it is untrue and you can prove it, they are not going to give you the time to do so

@BVR Because when you say that you are at the very minimum implying that the problem lies elsewhere. That is blaming. When you say directly that some one else had ___ happen that is directly blaming them. Realise that your management already has the details. They do not even want your side of the story. What they want is to know that you can get past it, learn from your mistakes, and accept your responsibility for the failure.

@Chad: There is no mistake from my side. I can not simply accept it as my mistake since management feel it as blaming. Do you suggest accept it as my mistake even if there is no my mistake?
And also most of the times one account management doesn't have failure related details of other account. Most of the time my manager wants to hear my part of the story so that he can help me. This is my practical experience. But your statement is directly conflicting about my experience. I can not deny my experience. I am afraid your comments and answers missing relevance to my situation.

@BVR Yes. If you want to have a future at that company then yes accept it, embrace it, figure out why someone else sees it that way, figure out how to prevent that from happening in the future.
I suggest you ask the direct question on the site. "My management wants me to accept responsibility for a project failure that I do not think is my fault. What should I do?" Maybe that will explain it better to you. I would try to include what your manager thinks is your fault and what they say you did wrong.
@BVR You can tell your manager what happened from your side. This is not telling you manager this is telling a potential future manager. They are not looking for what happened so much as to see that you have grown and learned from it.
In this case I am asking you to get your managers feedback with out arguing with them. If you argue you will not get the full feedback. You are not trying to save yourself from this project you are trying to save your career. You need to understand how other people perceive this. And you should have an open mind that they could be right.
