The Placement Drive took place in our college. Over 600 students applied for this. It consists of three rounds :Online test, Coding, Interview.
Round 1 This round was an Online test which consists of verbal reasoning(unseen paragraphs, antonyms, synonyms ), logical reasoning, quants (simple interest, percentage).There was a sectional cutoff to clear this round so you have to score marks in each section to clear this round.
Round 2 This round was a programming,
coding round and this round is optional. Like for students, choosing this round get an different role and the one with out clearing this round or with out giving this round get another role. It consists of two coding questions and level of questions is quite easy. The Questions that I got is: Write a program to find the factorial of a number. Write a program to find the sum of odd numbers between 100 and 1000.
Round 3 Its an Interview Round. Out of 600, 300 students selected for this round. This round seems to be Technical but it was more of HR. This round was a group interview which consists of panel of 2 interviewers and a group of 5 students. It was totally based on your communication and attitude. They also asked situation based questions. They asked questions like: 1.Tell me something about yourself. 2.what are your achievements? 3.what will you do if your client is not satisfied with you? 4.What are your interests apart from academics and what did you do to improve it? Remember whatever Introduction you will give about yourself they will ask questions from it so try to be honest. Don't say too much just to put an impression because if they ask cross question and you are not able to answer, it will ruin your interview. At the end, I got finally placed in Accenture. All the Best.

About Accenture Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Accenture. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Accenture are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Accenture interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Accenture reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Accenture Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in Accenture reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
