I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Neu-Delhi) in Feb 2008
Interview
multiple rounds
1) Written Exam
This is where most of the people are chucked out. more than 50% are rejected.
easy exam and more emphasis on the english language and very low on technical skills
2) Group Discussion
Groups of 10-12. Everybody gets a chance to speak. Do not debate or fight, nor keep your mouth shut. You get one shot make a very valid and impressive statement on the topic.
Additional marks for those who start, summarize, conduct and take charge, different viewpoint but justified
3) Technical Round
Simple questions.
Depending on which stream some questions will be from your own subjects.
Logical ability and problem solving tested.
4) HR Round
Checks confidence, soft skills, interactiveness
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a program to put an input number in a list of numbers already in an order without doing multiple swaps using linked list.
Not that you cant compare with numbers but the it should straight be placed in the correct position.
Interview was nice but it was much technical heavy and the interviewer had asked both the technical and HR related questions and also some general knowledge and current affairs questions.

Question 1
Tell me about your college projects and what is your and other team members role in the project
After assessment, Interview is Initial screening only, nothing technical. Consists of common questions so you should practice. I think most candidates get the job. Overall a good experience and would recommend to others.
Had long aptitude rounds followed by 3 coding questions. All were pretty easy. Followed by a 10 minute interview held online, not technical, just asked personal questions. The coding questions had web design (HTML & CSS), basic DSA (python, C# or java)
