Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?

I see where you’re coming from in terms of why you’d want to do this but if people are hiring it typically means that they’re currently under-staffed. This means they have more workload and less time. Wasting that time with a dead end interview when they could spend it getting work done or interviewing a viable candidate seems inconsiderate to me.
Yes. It’s a good way to learn what’s out there. I also recently started working at a place months after I had the initial interview, at which time I was not interested. Learned enough to change my mind and met my GCD who seemed like a cool person to work under.
The only time I decline now is if it’s a company that I have zero interest in working at ever. Otherwise, I actually have regrets over declining an interview years ago. If there is even a sliver of interest or you just don’t know, take the damn interview. You can decline in your follow up email.
Yes. It's good practice and let's you gauge how the market is. Just don't string companies along.
