The candidates further shortlisted had a HR interview. Questions were general, like "tell me abt yourself" and the other questions were on the same lines too.

They start with the general ice-breaking questions and gradually moved onto a few technical questions and finally ended with them asking me to speak about any city and computer engineering. They check your confidence, spoken English abilities and interest in computers .

Interviewed Aug 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 5 days)
I posted my online application and I was emailed the very next day with a letter of interest form their recruiting office. I was given a return email address to speak with their recruiter that had been assigned to me, mostly just give information about when 'I' would be available to speak with them. When I sent my available times, which were spread throughout the week, then recruiter got right back to me with another email asking if there was any time sooner that I could handle because if all went well, then would like to have Skill/IQ test within the next day and the final interview at the end of the week. I agreed to have the phone interview right there and then (6 a.m.-normally asleep). The phone interview lasted just about 15 minutes and mostly it was just background questions and what kind of company I would like to work for. This was closer to a personality test and if you would be a good fit with the company itself. After the recruiter was done with her questions she said that she would like to send me the Skill/IQ test and would appreciate if I could take it as soon as possible because if I passed the final interview was to be scheduled two days from then.
The IQ test was 40 logic questions that you have 60 minutes to answer. These questions didn't have much to do with coding itself, mostly just logic that most people could solve by thinking through a problem involving colors, shapes, truth tables, and robot path logic. The question were wordy though, most of your time can be wasted just trying to read the explanation of a question rather than just trying to think of the question itself. You don't have to answer all of the questions, but the ones you don't answer will be counted against your score.
After the test you will be called in for a final interview with a group of other candidates. First there is a PowerPoint presentation that describes the company’s overall culture, benefits, and what your possible job description will be. Each candidate will be called for two separate one on one interviews. One interview is a Technical interview and the other is a Human Resource interview. While you are waiting for either of your interviews you are left in a room with everyone else that is waiting and there is one representative in the room as well to answer any questions you might have. There is was also some beagles and orange juice provided. After all that is done and everyone is sent home, you will receive a call about whether or not you did or did not get the job.
Every step of the interview process was done very smoothly and kindly. The main recruiter was a pleasure to work with and everyone I met at the final interview was very nice to everyone and was respectful of everyone's questions. Overall I would have to say that for such a large and powerful company, they treated even the hiring candidates a real people, not as pieces of meat and they were just selecting the best cut.
On a side note, I was lucky enough to be in the waiting room when the Accenture representative said something very important to me. Accenture does want to know you have the ability to know and learn new technically skills, but what is more important to them... is they want to hire good 'people', they can always teach you the technical skills 'they' need you to know later. Be who you are and show them what you can already do, then they will teach you what else you need to know.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Mumbai (India) (took 2 days)
Accenture had hired a third party company to handle the recruitment drive but amongst all the other companies, accenture's recruitment drive was the most organised and their presentation brilliant. Level of aptitude test was tough and quality of interview was decent. Less number of students higher but no compromise on quality.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
The 1 day campus recruitment process was divided into 4 sessions.
1. Pre-Placement Talk
2. General Aptitude Test
3. Technical Interview
4. HR Interview
1. Pre-Placement Talk
The PPT was delivered by a senior HR executive at Accenture India. The talk was mainly about Accenture and the position, remuneration and benefits they were offering.
2. General Aptitude Test
The GA Test was a 3 part online test - Quantitative Aptitude, English and Logical Reasoning. Each section had 25 questions to be solved in 30 minutes. To move on to the next question, the current question had to be answered. You cannot review your answers once you move to the next question or section. 5 minutes break between each section.
3. Technical Interview
The technical interview consisted mainly questions based on programming (C/C++, Java, Object oriented programming) and database (DBMS, Oracle, PL/SQL) concepts. Also questions regarding projects undertaken were also asked.
4. HR Interview
The HR interview is a test of communication skills, personality test, knowledge about company and flexibility. This interview requires you to be calm, smart, energetic and outspoken. Its a general conversation and the interviewer asked for introduction, strengths and weaknesses. He tested my knowledge about the company. Where do I see myself in the next 3 to 5 years? How will I be able to adjust to a new environment?
At the end of the day, selected candidates (30 out of 300) were given Letter of Intent.
My take on the Interview process:
The complete interview process was very well handled and organized. The Corporate Team did a fantastic job of handing our IDs to candidates, escorting them to labs for online test, and quickly displaying the results of interview part. The HR Executive delivering the PPT was very professional. He was clear and understandable.
The quantitative aptitude section and English section in the GA Test were tough. No wonder only 39 cleared the GA Test out of 300. The eligibility criteria for sitting for the test was 6.0CGPA or 60% throughout in academic career.
Once I cleared the GA Test, both the interview sessions were of medium difficulty. Technical questions were oriented towards testing the basic concepts of programming and database. HR questions were designed to understand my personality, smartness and general awareness.
