The Aptitude test paper is divided into 3 sections:

Questions 1 - 10 : These are very easy. These are completely based on prepositions and fill in the blanks with correct articles. This pattern is just like other accenture (IT Companies) placement papers.

questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from questions 16 - 20

Do not read the whole paragraph. Just do skimming. (Study the reading techniques. You did it in Communication skills subject in B.tech any engineering brach)

It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagrams ,time and work,percentage,time and distance, directions,blood relations and the most important topic LOGIC (syllogism) which is the first chapter of the second part of R.S.AGGARWAL (verbal & non-verbal

Q.46-Q.49 were based on the Puzzle-type question

Following was the criteria decided by the selection committee of Indian Cricket Board:
1) Player's age should be 18-28 years.
2) He must be the captain of any cricket team for at least 2 years.
3) He must be a Ranji Player for at least 2 years.

If 1st condition is not fulfilled. Referred to chairman
If 2nd condition is not fulfilled. He must be an all rounder with at least 500 runs and 15 wickets
If 4th condition is not fulfilled. Referred to VP

Questions were like the following example:

a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient
Ans: a

Q.50- Q.55 were quite easy:
Example of type 1:
If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-
8+4-9*7/12+3

Example of type 2:
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true:
a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. ..

(These are easy but can be time consuming if u did not practise these questions from RS Aggarwal)

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.
