I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Infosys (Coimbatore) in Sep 2015
Interview
People from Infosys came to our university for recruitment. Around 600 people were selected from 1700 people from across all branches and across BTech and MTech level.
I Round: Adaptive type Test. Time wasn't sufficient for Aptitude and Logical type questions although they were all pretty simple.( Aptitude: 14, Verbal: 20, Logical: 14). Off the 1700 students, 900 people were filtered and the rest 800 students went on for the further rounds.
II Round: Technical and HR Interview. He asked me about my final year project in detail. Then about the models I presented for a technical event. Then some C based questions. Also some HR questions.The Interview must have been for about 20 minutes.
Very straightforward.
Technical and polite. They look at the logic of things.
You would need to apply yourself a bit.
Everyone is very professional, polite, and considerate.
There is a behavioural round, which goes over frequent office scenarios.
Overall a good experience
I had a really good experience throughout the interview process. The panel was friendly, the questions were insightful, and it gave me an excellent opportunity to share my skills, learn, and grow.
The Infosys interview typically involves an online aptitude test covering logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and verbal ability. Successful candidates proceed to a technical interview assessing their coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and knowledge of relevant technical concepts like data structures, algorithms, and DBMS. The final round is an HR interview evaluating communication skills, cultural fit, and career aspirations. Be prepared to discuss your background, strengths, weaknesses, and why you want to join Infosys. Research the company's values and recent projects to demonstrate your interest.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question: "Describe a challenging technical problem you faced and how you approached solving it. What did you learn from this experience?"
Answer: "In my previous project, optimizing a slow database query was critical. I analyzed the execution plan, identified inefficient joins, and rewrote the query using indexing and a different join strategy. This improved performance by 40% and taught me the importance of proactive performance tuning and thorough analysis."
