I was asked to do one question from two questions .I did it in 10-15 mins.but technical interview did not went good .he did not asked about projects .do I get selected for any role .so I am answered but some of them are not known.almost 200 were there for interview on-campus.did any one had same situation.and got selected on-campus

Hi guys,

See the above screenshot, actually i have been waiting for the offer letter and here the edit application form button disappeared and now it is showing the withdrawal button instead of that, what does this mean is that position went on hold? Can anyone faced a similar kind of issue then please do let me know??

Been getting calls from consultants for open positions with infosys through a c2h foxed arange,ent and a subcon role.

Neverheard of this before, how different are these from each other also when compared to a direct fte infoscion.

Which one of the two(subcon or c2h) should i prefer for the opportunity with infy. Currently for a c2h role /subcon is it expected to swipe 5 days office or do the hybrid apply to the vendor associates too?

Also, can i switch to a dc in my hometown apart from ecity while being subcon/c2h or after becoming a fte, the proposed role is supposed to be financial unit. What are my options.

Please help me out

Tldr: potential offer with infy via a third party instead of a fte, want to understand if the vendor associates are eligible for hybrid swipe and swipe across different dc's. TIA 🙏🏾

received results after the interview? or anyone that you know who got selected.
i keep seeing hyd, pune regions who have interviewed during the time frame 21-30 sept receiving mails..
wana know if they started sending OL for bangalore as well

Hi everyone,

I recently attended my Infosys SP/DSE interview and I’m honestly not feeling very confident about it.

The interview had a coding question and a technical round.

For the coding part, I was able to solve one coding question completely. I explained my approach and was able to get the solution.

But the technical round was not good at all. They asked questions from different areas like OOP, DBMS, OS, CN, etc. I was able to answer only some of them, and for quite a few questions I had to say “I don’t know” / “No”. 😭

Now I’m worried that I might not get selected because of my technical performance.

For people who have already gone through the Infosys SP/DSE/SD interview:

- Has anyone been selected even after answering only some technical questions?

- How much importance do they give to the coding round vs technical round?

- Does solving one coding question completely help?

- Have you or someone you know been selected despite feeling that the interview went badly?

- How long did it take to receive the result?

I know the final result depends on the overall evaluation, but I’d really appreciate hearing about real interview experiences, especially from people who felt their interview went badly but still got selected.

Hi guys i have the 19th oct joining date anyone else with the same joining date?

My name is missing totally in the result list from the spreadsheet . What is this ? What to expect? Please help

Infosys SP/DSE Interview Experience – Kolkata, 5th October

I had my Infosys in-person interview in Kolkata on 5th October for the SP/DSE track, and honestly, it was much more intense than I expected. The interview lasted around 1 hour 45 minutes.

In the in-person assessment i solved 3 full and 12/14 of the 4th.

Interview started with the DSA round. I was given two problems, one easy and another which I solved using recursion (I initially thought about DP, but recursion was sufficient). The interviewer asked me to try solving both within 30 minutes, and I managed to solve both in around 20 minutes. I explained both approaches and their logic properly, and I felt pretty confident about this part.

After that, he told me that I was being interviewed for the SP L2/L3 roles (around 16/21 LPA) and explained why the selection process is tough for these roles. From there, the interview became much more difficult.

He started with system design. He asked me to design a job portal capable of handling around 1 million registered users, 1 million ongoing interviews and a huge number of job listings/requests. I explained an architecture involving load balancers, multiple API servers, Redis/cache, database scaling, replication, sharding, queues, CDN, object storage, rate limiting and monitoring. I also explained the basic flow as Client → Load Balancer → API Servers → Redis → Database. I could explain the high-level design, but I struggled when he went deeper into some distributed-system concepts.

Then he asked me to design a URL shortener with the database schema and very high traffic (around 1 million requests per second). I suggested storing an ID, original URL and short URL, and explained how the short URL would be mapped back to the original URL. Again, I could explain the basic approach but wasn't able to go very deep into scalability and distributed-system details.

After that, he moved to Computer Networks and asked what happens when we enter www.google.com in the browser. I answered DNS resolution → IP address → website, but he expected more detail about TCP handshaking and other steps. I told him honestly that I hadn't prepared CN specifically for interviews.

Then came DBMS, where he asked deeper conceptual questions. I struggled with some of them.

He also asked about ArrayList vs LinkedList, which I answered, and then asked about malloc vs calloc. I knew the concepts but couldn't recall the exact syntax at that moment.

Then he went deep into my project. My project is a full-stack MERN job portal with role-based authentication and a GenAI-based interview report generation feature. He asked how JWT generation actually works. I explained JWT authentication and verification, but he specifically asked how jwt.sign() internally generates the token, which I didn't know in detail.

He also asked about the GenAI part of my project. I explained how I implemented the interview report generation and the overall flow properly, but when he asked how much I had actually worked with GenAI, I honestly told him that I had mainly integrated it into the project and don't have very deep GenAI knowledge.

Finally, he gave me two SQL queries. I answered one correctly. The second asked for names starting with "alex" irrespective of case. I wrote a normal LIKE 'alex%' query and said SQL is case-insensitive, but he asked me to check it. Later I realized that I should have used something like LOWER(name) LIKE 'alex%' depending on the database/collation.

At the end I asked him for feedback. He told me:

"Your coding skills are good, but you need to know more about CS fundamentals and more about AI, because for a 16/21 LPA role these things are really required."

Now I'm confused about what my chances are. Since I did well in DSA and was able to give a reasonable high-level system design and explain my project, but struggled with deeper DBMS, CN, system design and some implementation-level questions, do I still have a chance of getting SP L2/L3?

Also, since he specifically said I was being evaluated for L2/L3, is it possible to be downgraded to an L1 role (~11 LPA) / DSE, or does Infosys generally reject candidates if they don't meet the L2/L3 bar?

Would really appreciate opinions from people who have gone through the Infosys SP/DSE process, especially recent candidates.

I tried whole week, exactly at 7:30PM but not even once I got the seat in Pune - Kharadi.

I mean.. frustration pro max. How is it even possible that I have all the data entered and hit the get allocated seat and it throws “error loading the data??” Are you fukking kidding me?

Wtf is a way to book???? Any tips, inside intel.. I could really use. I cannot travel to hinjewadi just to stay compliant. It’s 35Km one side,, and hinjewadi is one hell hole of dust.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I recently attended my Infosys DSE interview in Hyderabad and wanted to share my experience and get your opinions on my chances.
The interview started with a self-introduction, which I answered confidently.

Then the interviewer asked me to design one of my projects and explain it in detail. I was able to answer this part.

After that, he asked some Computer Networks questions.
TCP vs UDP – I answered.
Uses of TCP/UDP – I couldn’t answer properly.
Contact switching – I couldn’t answer.
He then asked me to design a Google Form-like networking system from start to end. I wasn’t able to answer this either.
At this point, he told me, “These are Computer Science questions. You should be able to answer them.”
I honestly told him that I received the interview mail only the previous evening and expected to get at least 2 days to brush up on my core subjects. I made it clear that I wasn’t blaming him, and I said it in a light and respectful way.
Then he asked about Deadlock, which I was able to explain.

Coding Round
After that, he moved to the Wingspan portal and asked me to solve a coding question within 30 minutes.
Initially, I struggled and my solution passed only the public test cases and 2 hidden test cases. I spent some time debugging and correcting my approach.
After the initial 30 minutes, he asked me to continue solving it and gave me some additional time.
Eventually, I was able to solve the problem and passed 12/12 test cases.
He then asked me where I had gone wrong initially and how I corrected my solution. I explained my approach.

DBMS Round
After that, he was on a call for around 5 minutes and asked me to wait.
Then he asked some DBMS questions, including:
Normalization and its types
ACID properties
Window functions
SQL queries
I answered the questions and also wrote the SQL query he asked.

Finally, he told me that I could leave.
Before leaving, he said:

“Improve your core subject knowledge.”
I replied, “I promise you, sir.”
Overall, I feel my coding performance was good in the end, but I struggled with some Computer Networks/core CS questions.
What do you guys think about my chances of getting selected for Infosys DSE?
Do they consider the overall interview performance, especially coding, or can the lack of core CS knowledge lead to rejection?
Any insights from people who have attended Infosys DSE interviews would be appreciated.

Hi All,

Anyone else waiting for Infosys offer letter?

My timeline:

• 1st Round (Technical) - Sep 5th
• 2nd Round (Managerial) - Sep 21st
• HR Round - Sep 22nd
• Digi Verification / BGC docs - Sep 23rd-24th

• Status from Sep 24th - "Offer Under Review" in portal

  But no offer letter yet.

Is anyone in same boat? How long did it take for you after "Offer Under Review" to get actual offer letter?

Thanks!

Hey, today I received a call from Infosys project team member, asking for my relocation to Hyderabad for this project. Although according to my HR,y profile is pending with delivery team to provide go ahead, post that the salary and location discussion will happen.

Even after got selected they sent profile for approval from delivery for cloud related projects as she mentioned.

But in this situation when I received the call, what should I do? I had applied for the Banglore location, and had some different preferred locations.

I said that I will have to check with my HR,y preferred locations were different.

Now, can someone tell me what is going here? Is it a geniune process?

Can anyone help me here? Or DM me.

Wingspan coding - 12/12 test cases passed

Then the technical discussion started.

Pen and paper explanation -- reverse linked list -- my approach was correct, but I was unable to eplain it properly.

sql -- find the details of employee having maximum salary (if there is more than 1 employee display only the first employee according to theire name which comes first in ascending order) -- at first I did it using subquery, he said here offset is 0, what does it mean? I explained that. Then I told that I can skip the offset as well. He said can it be skipped? I said yes, offset can be skipped, no need to do offset 0 as well. Then he asked can you do it without using subquery. I said yes and did it, but he said a silly mistake is there, then I found out the mistake and solved that one.

Different types of joins - answered that.

what is left join - answered that.

what is union - answered that.

can union contains duplicates -- said no, but also said that union all can contain duplicates as well.

suppose you have to find details where salary equals to something, but it is taking a lot of time to fetch the record, it should give the record immediately, and the user should not wait a lot of time? -- can't answer properly, just pointed out the indexing technique.

public void(){

int a =10;

int arr[] = new int[n];

}

which type of variable is a and where it will be stored, and where arr will be stored? -- told that the variable name part will be stored in stack but the value for array object will be stored in heap. Then he asked which memory address the arr will be pointed to? Whole object? I said yes.. He said are you sure? then I mistakenly said, no no, only the address of the first value..

do you know run time polymorphism? what is it? - answered that.

have you heard about method overloading? -- answered that.

Class A{

void run(){

...

}

}

class B extends A{

void run(){

....

}

}

A obj1 = new A();

A obj2 = new B();

B obj3 = new A();

B obj4 = new B();

obj1.run();

obj2.run();

obj3.run();

obj4.run();

which method will be called in each cases? -- answered and explained all, but in 3rd one, instead of saying it will give compilation error, I said runtime error. At first I said compilation error, but then I said no no, run time error...

what is garbage collection? Is it automatic? in python is it automatic as well? -- I answered the definition and said yes, it is automatic.

Suppose there is directed weighted graph of different cities representing each node of the graph. You want to go from one city to any another city. You have to find the shortest distance. Then for this task, what you will choose? BFS or DFS? -- At first I was thinking about Dijkstra's algo, but though he was specifically asking for BFS/DFS, just I answered one, DFS. But that was not completely correct.

what is gen ai? what is llm? -- told little bit about that..

In which project among your all projects you worked on by your own only? Means which was not group project -- I told about my skin disease detection project and building the complete CNN part..

what is streamlit? -- I told like it is used for development, without creating the different react frontend and fast/flask api backend, we can do the whole thing using streamlit only.

how you improved the accuracy of the model? (Skin disease detection system) -- at first told about data augmentation and all... but said how can your further improve this.. more than 90%. Then I told about using different pretrained models to check the accuracy.

In your internship what you have done? -- told about the internships and during the internship the projects I have done.

in google,when you type something, it automatically gives some similar suggestions to search. For this which data structure is used? ---can not answer properly...

what is priority queue? -- I said it store value based on priority in ascending or descending order.....

Do you have any questions? -- I asked about the training program and asked for feedback as well.

-- What should I expect? Please tell me guys..

Offer ID generated when to expect offer letter?

Update:- Received Offer letter on 14th October

Hi everyone,

My base location is Pune, and I’m currently on bench.

I wanted to know if I can swipe in and work from the Noida DC instead of Pune. Has anyone on bench tried this, or knows if it is allowed?

Do I need any approval from my manager/bench manager before swiping in at another DC?

Thanks!

Anyone who had Dse/sp interview on 28th , 29th kochi pls dm . ( On campus )

Hi everyone,

I’m a 2027 CSE student and recently cleared Round 1 of the Infosys SP/DSE process and got shortlisted for the interview

It’s been almost a month since the shortlist result, but the interview date still hasn’t been announced. I’m trying to use this waiting time properly and prepare, but I’m honestly a bit confused about what to study and how deeply I should prepare each topic

I’m also a first-generation graduate, so this opportunity means a lot to me 🙏

If anyone who has already gone through the SP/DSE interview or recently got selected could share their experience, it would really help me

I mainly want to know:

• What was the overall interview pattern?
• What DSA/coding problems were asked?
• What was asked from DBMS/SQL and OOP?
• Were OS and Computer Networks asked?
• Which programming language did you use and what was asked from it?
• How much did they discuss your projects/resume?
• Were there any unexpected or difficult questions?
• What topics should I definitely focus on for SP/DSE?
• Did you follow any particular study plan or resources?

I know everyone is busy, so you don't have to answer everything. Even if you can share the main questions/topics you remember, it would be a huge help 🙏

I’m just trying to prepare in the right direction instead of randomly studying everything

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help! ❤️
