How the test works

Reported

THE TEST CHANGED IN 2025-26. Accenture's own India campus portal describes four assessments: (1) a Technical assessment of 45 minutes (common applications and MS Office, pseudocode, networking, security and cloud fundamentals, and basic computer science); (2) a Coding assessment of 3 questions in 60 minutes; (3) a Behavioural and Cognitive assessment of 40 minutes, where the cognitive part is immersive and gamified (puzzles and numerical equations); (4) a Communication assessment of about 30 minutes. These minutes and topics are official. We read the portal through search-engine snippets because it is a script-only page, so re-check it yourself before the test. A short practice assessment comes first. Two 2025-26 candidates agree on the detail: about 45 MCQs in the technical part, and in coding one DSA problem, one SQL query and one HTML/CSS/JavaScript task. What changed: from 2023 to 2025 the test was one 90-question, 90-minute Cognitive and Technical MCQ (English, critical reasoning, abstract reasoning, MS Office, pseudocode, networking) plus 2 coding problems in 45 minutes. English and aptitude MCQs have been replaced by the gamified cognitive tasks. Many prep sites, including FACE Prep (Aug 2026), still show the old format; do not prepare for it alone. A 2027-batch notice (registration closed 31 Jul 2026) was seen only in search snippets.

How the interviews go

Reported

1Final interview (virtual, technical + HR mix)

Resume and project deep-dive, basic tech (e.g. HTML vs CSS vs JS), why Accenture, least favourite subject, relocation; style varies by interviewer.

Based on several candidates' reports, checked 2 Nov 2026. Interviews vary by drive and interviewer.

Reported by, Accenture On-Campus (takeUforward), Accenture ASE / Advanced ASE (GfG), Accenture ASE and AASE (GfG)

What to prep

Pseudocode output and logic: loops, operators, recursion, arrays, OOP basics
MS Office and common applications, especially Excel functions
Networking, security and cloud fundamentals, plus basic computer science and programming concepts
Coding in 60 minutes across three kinds of task: a DSA problem (arrays, strings, sliding window), an SQL query with joins, and a small HTML/CSS/JavaScript task
Quick mental arithmetic and puzzle practice for the gamified cognitive part (it cannot be simulated exactly)
Answer the behavioural statements honestly and consistently
Spoken English: reading aloud, repeating sentences, retelling a short story, speaking freely on a topic

Cut-offs and eligibility (indicative)

Reported

Accenture publishes no cutoff for any assessment. Whether each one eliminates is reported, not official: the gamified cognitive part is reported as eliminating and the behavioural part as not (one 2025-26 candidate); reports on the communication test disagree. The ASE and Advanced ASE tracks are decided in the same assessment by performance; a 2024 candidate linked passing all coding test cases to the Advanced ASE track (old 2-problem format, a single report). No source reports negative marking for coding; for the technical MCQ, no current source says either way. Any percentage cutoff seen online is unofficial.
