What to know before you apply

Accenture publishes no company-wide marks cutoff: FACE Prep says thresholds are set per requisition, and a Jan 2026 registration had no percentage rule, while prep sites cite 60% or 65% / 6.5 CGPA. The sources conflict, so no cutoff is shown. Reported by FACE Prep and a candidate quoting the campus JD: no active backlog at the recruitment process or at onboarding; cleared backlogs reported acceptable. No source gives a gap rule. You cannot apply if you sat an Accenture assessment in the past three months. ASE about ₹4.5 LPA and Advanced ASE about ₹6.5 LPA are reported, not official. The test changed in 2025-26: see the Accenture test pattern page.
