For accenture emphasize more on verbal and non verbal rather than quantitative.

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL Questions for Accenture Placement Paper:
1) LOGIC (syllogism).
2) DATA SUFFICIENCY.
3) LOGIACL VENN DIAGRAM.
4) DIRECTION SENSE TEST.
5) BLOOD RELATIONS.
6) PUZZLE TEST.

QUANTITATIVE Ability Questions topics for Placement Papers:
1) TIME AND WORK.
2) TIME AND DISTANCE.
3) RATIO AND PROPORTION.
4) PERCENTAGE.
5) PROBLEMS ON TRAINS.
6) BOATS AND STREAMS.
7) PIPES AND CISTERNS.
8) PROFIT AND LOSS.

I think about 70% are from verbal & non verbal and 30% are from quantitative in comparision to these two.

After the completion of 60 minutes we were asked to write an essay in 10 minutes time and word limit was atleast 100 words and the topic was "US recession and its impact in the IT industry" There is nothing to worry about this essay. Just have few key points and it should be grammatically correct. It is rarely checked by the HR during the HR interview.

2) ACCENTURE GROUP DISCUSSION :
The topic was "liberalisation" Time limit was 10 minutes. 5 out of 12 were selected. They try to give time to everyone to speak clockwise. The group discussion round as discussed in other accenture placement papers here is not much difficult.

3) ACCENTURE HR INTERVIEW :
Questions were like: Tell me about yourself. What do you do in your leisure time. How can you prove that you have managerial skills. You have to be confident during your interview, have a smile on your face, maintain your eye contact with the HR. HR interview guide for you is here.

4) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW :
What are your favourite subjects. Gave me a program and asked whether this program will run or not. Then he told me that i am giving you 16 seconds. You have to sell yourself. ( How to sell urself: you have to be innovative in that. You cant repeat other persons's answer. You should show your confidence in yourself with good communication skills, Any reason which shows your appeal may be strengths, Your teamwork ability, Consistent work, etc.) Good self confidence and communication skills coupled with your skills are what you should tell when such a question is asked. Then he gave situation reaction test.

In situation reaction test they just want to see how good you are as a leader as well as a team member and how hard working , determined and confident you are.

Statistics: 899 total students appeared, 266 - aptitude round, 115 gd round, 41 shortlisted after technical , hr round. I am one of them.

Good luck to you. See our more detailed accenture placement papers. Prepare well, work hard and believe in yourself. Be genuine and polite. I wish you clear your test. Best of luck again.
