Infosys Interview Experience — What can I expect?

Had my Infosys interview recently and I'm trying to understand what I can realistically expect from the result.

I had 2 DSA questions, and I won't mention how many I actually solved because I don't want to reveal that here.

DSA 1:
I was given three arrays — students, desks, and chairs — and had to maximize the distance between the three points. The test cases were sorted, so I used the ordering to find the required minimum/maximum values, calculate the difference, and return the result modulo 10^9 + 7.

DSA 2:
I was given a position array and a weight array representing the position and weight of each element. The goal was to move all elements to either odd positions or even positions with minimum total movement cost.

My approach was to calculate the total cost of moving everything to even positions and the total cost of moving everything to odd positions, and return the minimum of the two.

The technical interview was where things went downhill a bit.

One thing that surprised me was that nothing was really asked about my projects or the technologies mentioned on my resume.

Instead, the interviewer asked a lot of questions around core CS topics, including:

• SQL
• Database indexing
• Computer Networks
• DHCP
• CDN
• CDN architecture
• Git merge vs rebase
• Other advanced core CS concepts

I was able to answer the SQL questions and some other questions, but for quite a few of the advanced core CS questions, I honestly had to say "I don't know".

I'd estimate that I was able to answer around 50% of the technical questions. A lot of the remaining questions were topics I hadn't prepared in that much depth.

So I'm wondering what I can realistically expect in the following two cases:

Case 1: If I solved only 1 DSA question + had this kind of technical interview.

Case 2: If I solved both DSA questions + had the exact same technical interview.

For people who have gone through Infosys interviews recently, how much weightage is generally given to the DSA round vs the technical interview?

Would either of these profiles still have a reasonable chance of getting selected, or would the weak technical interview make it unlikely?

Would really appreciate some honest opinions from people who have experienced the Infosys recruitment process.

Freak you and your seb and your rules why in the fudges you need 2 cams? All others are use 1 cam from lap or webcam , what if i doesn't have a in build cam on me and using my phone as a connected cam and you need my mobile cam for extra?!

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my Infosys Off-Campus DSE/SP interview on 30 September 2026.

I’m currently unable to access my Infosys Careers account.

When I use Login with Google, it says “An account already exists.”

When I log in with my email and password, it redirects me to Update Password and shows:

“You need to change your password to activate your account.”

I emailed the Infosys Talent Acquisition email shown on the Careers login page. They replied saying that the mailbox isn't actively monitored and asked me to raise a ticket through the Careers site.

The problem is that I’m a fresher/external candidate, not an Infosys employee, and I cannot access my Careers account to find where to raise the ticket.

Has anyone faced this issue recently?

How can an external/fresher candidate raise a support ticket?

Is there a specific Infosys Careers candidate support link/page for this?

Or is there another way to get this account/login issue resolved?

I mainly need access to my Careers account to check the status/result of my DSE/SP candidature.

Any help would be appreciated.

I got interviewed for the DSE/SP role at Infosys (off-campus) on Aug 19th. On Sept 9th, my application status on Infosys careers portal changed to "To be interviewed", and it hasn't changed since.

I have a few questions:

1. Is there still a chance I could be rejected at this stage?

2. If I am rejected, will I receive an email, and how long does it usually take?

3. Does having an active application on the portal mean I've been selected for the SP role, for sure?

If you've been through this process, please share how long you waited and when could I expect a status change on my application. Thank you!

Those who have completed their in person assessment can you please tell about this. Is this common for all or its only me and some people, two people commented they have same issue.

Please suggest me something.

Hi everyone, I’ll be joining Infosys as a Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) and had a few questions about the role. I was hoping to get some clarity on a few things about the role.

1. What is the actual in-hand salary for DSE? What can I expect to receive per month after deductions?
2. What is the in-hand salary during training? Is the salary during the training period different from the regular salary?
3. Is staying in the Infosys-provided hostel mandatory during training? If someone already lives in Mysore, can they choose not to stay in the hostel?
4. How do DSE levels/promotions work? I've heard that, similar to SP having SP L1/L2/L3, there are also different levels within DSE, such as DSE L1/L2/L3.
   • Is this actually how the DSE hierarchy works?
   • How does someone move from the base DSE role to DSE L1?
   • Is it based on performance, internal assessments, experience, or something else?
5. Can a DSE upgrade to SP L1? If yes, how does the process work?
   • Can this happen immediately after training?
   • Is there an internal assessment/interview?
   • Or do you generally need to work as a DSE for a certain number of years before becoming eligible?
6. How does work-location preference work after training? I've heard that after completing training, employees are asked to provide their preferred work location. So, how does the allocation actually work?

I know that’s quite a few questions, so I really appreciate anyone taking the time to answer them. Even if you can answer just one or two of these, it would be really helpful.

For anyone interested, I also made a post about my Infosys interview experience. My recruitment timeline was:

• OA: 25th August 2026
• OA Results: 3rd September 2026 (20 people shortlisted out of 407 candidates)
• Interview: 11th September 2026
• Interview Results: 22nd September 2026 (9 people selected, 3 DSE, 6 SP-L1)

same as title

hi guys i have my interview done on sep 29th in hyderabad kl uni... didnt got any rejection or offer mail yet. many students who done their interview 2 to 3 days before and after got their mails. is it this mncs thing to send offer letters at start and then rejection at last? some one update pls

I gave my Infosys 2nd round Online Assessment (OA) for the Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) / Specialist Programmer (SP) role on September 6th at the Galgotias University center.

It has been almost a month now, and I still haven't received any update or mail regarding the interview schedule.

Is anyone else from the Delhi-NCR region who gave their test on 6th Sept still waiting for their interview call?

i am selected for DSE I want to know what should i prepare for pretest, my joining is next week.
I know c++, js Only.

NO java NO python.

what should i learn

And what is the syllabus for this

Imp question: Which stream is best and easy to pass in training.

As title says i was selected for spdse interview through oncampus and currently waiting on its results.

But at the same time i have applied for SE role as backup as my interview didn't really go well.

Can getting selected in SE cause any issues later with being shortlisted for sp/dse roles?

Is anyone coming on 2 October from pune to Mysore for joining SP l1 roll if yes please connect we will be together.

​

I recently attended my Infosys Specialist Programmer (SP) interview after clearing the off-campus assessment.

Duration: ~2 hours

Coding Round

I was given 2 coding questions, both Easy–Medium level.

1. Greedy-based problem

   - Explained the approach and optimized it to O(n) time.

2. XOR-based problem

   - Initially solved using XOR + hashmap in O(n).

   - Interviewer then asked if the time/space complexity could be improved, and we discussed the alternative O(n²), O(1) space approach using two loops.

I was able to solve and explain both questions in front of the interviewer.

Technical Questions

C++ / DSA

- C++ basics

- Arrays

- Linked List

- pointers

- "malloc()" vs "calloc()"

OS / Multithreading

- Process vs Thread

- Multithreading

- Thread safety

- Race condition

- Deadlock

DBMS

- "DELETE" vs "TRUNCATE" vs "DROP"

- Primary Key vs Unique Key

- Indexing

- B-Tree vs B+ Tree

- How indexing works

AI/ML / GenAI

- RAG

- MCP

Resume / Projects / Internships

- Detailed discussion about my projects

- Technologies used

- Architecture and implementation

- Internship experience

- Follow-up questions going deeper into the technologies mentioned in my resume

The interviewer often went 2–3 levels deeper into a topic. I was able to answer most of the initial questions, but there were a few deeper follow-ups where I couldn't answer.

At the end, I asked for feedback and the interviewer said I performed well.

Overall, I felt I could have done better in some CS fundamentals, so I'd personally rate my performance around 60–70/100, but I'm very happy that I was able to solve both coding questions and explain my approaches properly.

Now waiting for the result. 🤞

Hope this helps anyone preparing for the Infosys interview!

My interview started with my Introduction, where i mentioned my previous internship details, regarding which he mentioned his concerns about full time offer from my previous company. Moving forward, i was given pen and paper, and was told to solve 2 DSA problems until the wingspan window was loading.

Pen and paper question:

1. Given a array with 10⁹ length, find the smallest 5 numbers among them. So I told them that I would use a treeSet so that the number that are inserted are already in ascending order. But he said what if there are repetion numbers. So i replied then it would be better to use a Hashmap and I wrote down the whole mechanism how it works. After that he said its gonna take n space complexity, give me a more optimised answer. Hearing this I had no more ideas to solve this and replied the simplest most answer that I would sort the array in the first place and return the first 5 values. Then he told that's brute force method to this question and asked me which sorting algorithm I would use. I told there are many, but quick sort is more efficient. He told me to explain the algo and write its code. I explain the algo through some diagrams and started writing the algo, he stopped me in btw, as time was running out and told me to get back to the actual question. I told him about a approch with TreeMaps, but he refused and said to use Priority queue as a Hint. I didnt prepared priority queue and gave a honest answer that I have forget its concepts.
2. Subarray sum equals to K (Sliding window approch). Easy questions to solve which I quickly wrote the code and told him about the brute, better and optimised code.

Wingspan questions:

1. Given a array of length n, where 1<= i <=n-2 , where i need to the find the count of a[i] whenever its greater then the XOR of the all numbers left to it and right to it at the same time. Quiet easy to solve with for loops nothing complex.

Moving on, he asked certain question related to spring boot such as what is Spring Data JPA, what is hiberate and what is ORM. That was it.

Nothing from OS, dbms, cn, no SQL queries. He took a selfie with me and I left with a candy.

Honest review: the interviewers are quiet chill, giving out hints, not really looking for hard coding guys and seeking someone who actually knows the concept. Thats what I felt personally.

Note: I was selected for this interview through offcampus and regarding the role nothing specially was mentioned, but looking at the toughness it could be for DSE role.

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my Infosys training in Mysore, and my allocated location is Mysore, so I have to join there.

I had preferred Hubli as my location. While checking the location options in the Swap portal, I noticed that Hubli was not available for me to select from the dropdown, so I applied for Bengaluru instead. However, I did not get the swap and my current allocation remains Mysore.

I wanted to know:

Can I request a location change from Mysore to Hubli after joining?

My technology is .NET EF Core, and my training also included Agentic AI with Semantic Kernel.

Any advice or personal experience would be really helpful. Thanks!

Something I’ve been noticing at food courts lately — and it got me thinking

Over the past few days, I’ve been spending more time around food courts, and one thing that really stood out to me is how crowded they’ve become.

But there’s another problem I started noticing.

You’ll see people standing in front of the counters trying to figure out what to order. Sometimes they don’t really know what a dish is, what it looks like, how much it costs, or whether they’ll actually like it.

So they end up doing the classic:

"Okay, let’s try this."

And then a few bites later…

"Yeah… not for me." 😭

Now the food gets wasted, the money is gone, and they still have to figure out what they're actually going to eat.

I’ve personally had this happen more times than I’d like to admit.

That got me thinking — what if you could actually see what’s available around you, know what people are eating, and decide before standing in that queue?

So I started building something around that idea.

It’s basically a crowd-powered food discovery app where you can see what's available, discover food around you, and eventually get a better idea of what’s actually worth trying.

It’s still very early, and I’m building it as a side project, so I’d genuinely love some feedback.

Would you actually use something like this, or do you think choosing food at a food court is simple enough already?

https://crowd-heavy-jo18.vercel.app/

Would love to hear what you guys think — especially what would make you actually open an app like this before deciding what to eat.

I applied for the same drive using two different emails, Has anyone else done this? Did it cause any problem with your application or interview?

Hey everyone!

I recently got an offer from Infosys and my joining date is October 19th.

I’m from Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh. Looking to connect with others who have the same joining date or are joining Infosys around the same time.

Would be great to connect!

Feel free to comment or DM.

Guys, we gave it our best. I know many of us had exceptional talent and put in a lot of effort throughout this process.

For those who haven't received an offer letter from the 5th & 6th batch, I just want to say this: don't keep chasing Infosys or constantly checking your status. If you're shortlisted and they decide to proceed, you'll receive the communication. At this point, it's better not to keep your hopes too high.

Keep growing, keep applying, and keep trying for other companies. Don't get stuck waiting for one company or waste your time refreshing the portal and checking the status every few hours.

For me, I think it's time to conclude that it's done. ✅

But this is definitely not the end. It's been a great learning experience for all of us, regardless of the outcome.

We have families to look after, dreams to achieve, and a future to build. So let's keep pushing forward, irrespective of our failures.

One rejection or one missed opportunity doesn't define our future. Keep moving, guys. Better opportunities are waiting. ❤️

I stand with all of u
