Infosys hires tens of thousands of freshers yearly through campus, off-campus and the InfyTQ platform. Knowing the routes doubles your chances.
The roles and pay
- SE (Systems Engineer): ~₹3.6 LPA — standard test route
- SP (Specialist Programmer): ~₹9 LPA — harder coding test (DSA medium)
- DSE (Digital SE): ~₹6.5 LPA — between the two
The InfyTQ route (underused)
Free Infosys learning platform. Clear its certification exam (Python/Java + DBMS) → direct interview opportunities, skipping some screening. Engineering students from 3rd year can register — start early, it is genuinely the easiest door in.
Test pattern (SE/DSE screening)
- Aptitude: quant + logical, ~35 min — speed matters
- Verbal: grammar + reading comprehension
- Pseudocode: predict output of C-like snippets — practice 50 questions, they repeat patterns
- SP/DSE add real coding: 2–3 problems, arrays/strings/DP-lite
Prep priorities
- Pseudocode practice (PrepInsta bank) — highest score-per-hour
- Aptitude daily 30 min
- For SP: 50 LeetCode easy + 20 medium — our judge covers the core patterns
