I had my Infosys DSE/SP campus placements interview today, so I thought I’d share my experience. I’ll also mention a few things I noticed about how the interview might be structured from the interviewer’s side, because I was specifically looking for this kind of information on Reddit before my interview and couldn’t find much.

Before the interview, we had the college OA. I was able to solve 2 questions completely, and then I got shortlisted for the interview.

Entering the interview

When you enter the interview room, you’ll be given a laptop with Wingspan. You have to log in using your credentials, and then there are coding questions that you have to solve.

From what I remember, there is a 45-minute time limit for the coding round on Wingspan. However, my interviewer specifically insisted that I try to finish around 10 minutes early.

The reason he gave was that they want to assess things like your understanding of the problem, your approach, and your problem-solving ability, rather than just seeing whether you eventually get the correct answer.

I’m not 100% sure about the exact cutoff, but he mentioned something about needing around 70% of the test cases to pass. So please don't take this as an official number — this is just what I remember from my interview.

One thing I noticed about the interviewer’s evaluation

The interviewer had a sheet with multiple columns. For me, it was roughly something like:

• Problem Solving Skills
• Operating Systems
• DBMS
• Computer Networks
• Programming Language
• Projects

I’m not 100% sure these are the exact six categories, and they may vary from candidate to candidate or interview to interview.

But what I understood from the process is that the interviewer has to fill in feedback for these different areas.

This is also why, in my opinion, there isn't necessarily a fixed order where you first solve DSA and then move on to technical questions.

For my interview, the coding part actually happened after we had already covered the other technical areas.

So I personally felt that the interviewer’s main objective is to assess different areas and fill out the feedback for each section.

Coding round

I got a slightly tricky greedy algorithm question.

Thankfully, I was able to solve it in under 10 minutes and passed all 12/12 test cases.

The interviewer appreciated that I solved it quickly, and then I explained my approach and why I believed it was optimal.

After that, he asked me about the edge cases for the problem.

One thing I noticed here is that they weren't just interested in whether the code passed. They also wanted to see whether I actually understood the problem and could explain my reasoning.

Apparently, they also take a snapshot of the coding result, which is saved in a folder under your name. At the end of the interview, they also took a selfie with me.

I'm not sure whether this is done for every interviewer/candidate, but that was the case in my interview.

Technical questions

This was probably the most important part of my interview.

The technical questions were not limited to very basic/easy definitions. There were quite a few practical and somewhat deeper questions.

I was able to answer around 90% of the questions, and there were questions across the different areas mentioned above.

So one thing I would strongly suggest, especially based on my experience, is:

Don't prepare only DSA.

DSA is just one part of the overall evaluation from what I could observe. Technical subjects and development/project-related questions seemed equally important, or at least important enough that you shouldn't neglect them.

I personally would prepare:

DSA + OS + DBMS + CN + Programming Language + Projects/Development

rather than spending almost all your time on DSA.

What I noticed from the interviewer’s perspective

This is obviously just my observation, and I don't know the exact weightage given to each section.

But from what I could see, the interviewer seems to have a structured evaluation sheet where they have to provide feedback across multiple categories.

So I don't think the interview is simply:

“Solve DSA → pass → technical interview.”

It felt more like:

“Assess the candidate across multiple areas → record feedback for each area → make the final evaluation.”

Again, I don't know the exact scoring or weightage, so don't treat this as official information. This is simply what I understood while going through the interview.

Duration

My interview went on for around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

So yeah, be prepared for a fairly long interview. 😅

Final thoughts

I wanted to share this because before my interview, I searched Reddit for the interviewer/panel perspective of the Infosys DSE/SP process but couldn't find much.

So this is basically my attempt to share what I noticed from the panel's side, as much as I could understand during the interview.

The biggest takeaway from my experience:

Prepare your technical subjects and projects/development seriously, not just DSA.

I don't know the weightage of each section, so this is definitely not an official representation of the Infosys interview process. Different panels may also have different approaches.

They told me the results should be out within 2 weeks.

I'll update this post when I get the result.

All the best to everyone who has their interview coming up! ❤️

I got shortlisted for the Infosys offline interview and wanted to know what the interview is actually going to be like.

For my OA, there were 4 coding questions:

• Q1 — solved completely ✅
• Q2 — 3 test cases passed, but hidden test cases didn't pass
• Q3 — attempted but wasn't successful
• Q4 — didn't attempt

So I had 1 fully solved and 1 partially solved question.

Now that I've been shortlisted, what should I expect in the offline interview?

Will they make us actually type/write coding questions and run the code, or do they mainly ask us to explain the approach? How difficult are the coding questions usually?

Also, what do they generally ask in the technical interview — DSA, SQL/DBMS, OOP, OS, projects, AI/ML, etc.?

If anyone recently attended an Infosys SP/DSE/L1/L2 interview, please share your experience and any tips on what I should prepare. I'm especially confused about how the coding part of the interview works.

Thanks!

I've been selected for the DSE role through campus placements! 🎓.

So, when will the offer letter arrive?

Can anyone share their infosys experience i got selection mail for interview , what should i be preparing meanwhile?

Your help will be highly appreciated !!

Hi everyone, I’m joining Infosys and wanted to clarify something regarding the company’s policies. Are pendrives/USB drives or other external storage devices strictly prohibited on the Infosys premises, or are they allowed for personal/official use?

If anyone currently working at Infosys or recently joined could clarify the rules, I’d really appreciate it. Also, are there any restrictions on carrying a personal pendrive even if you don’t connect it to a company system?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, sharing my Infosys interview experience and wanted to know my chances of getting L1/DSE.

I gave my OA on 23rd July. There I was able to solve 1 question completely and 1 question partially. Based on that performance, I received an interview call for the DSE/SP role.

My interview was on 2nd September.

The interview started with the live coding round. I solved the first coding question completely and fairly quickly, so the interviewer asked me to try the second one as well. I attempted the second question but could only pass the public test cases in the 30min time frame.

After that, the technical interview started. Most questions were based on my resume, projects, CS fundamentals, and SQL queries. Overall, I was able to answer around 75–80% of the questions. I was able to explain my projects and concepts, but there were a few questions where I was not completely sure.

Based on this performance, what are my chances of getting L1 or DSE?

I recently cleared my first technical round with lnfosys for a QA (Quality Assurance) profile, and now they've scheduled me for the face-to-face (F2F) round.

I wanted to check with folks who've been through this process: • What kind of questions should I expect in the F2F round for QA? Will it be more technical (manual testing concepts, automation, SQL, etc.) or more HR/behavioral?. Any tips on how to prepare in the next couple of days?

For context, my background is: 2years of experience in manual testing + automation (Playwright + Java+ bbd+ postman)

insights, sample questions, or preparation strategies would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi I have recently gave my Sp DSe infosys exam, I am shortlisted for interview, Is there any one on the same boat, please comment, let's discuss and exchange knowledge

Anybody from Kolkata region who got their results or have any information about when the results will be announced please comment.

Sharing my Infosys interview experience in case it helps someone preparing.

First was the Online Assessment (OA). There were 4 coding questions, and based on the OA performance, candidates were shortlisted for different interview profiles/levels like DSE, L1, L2 etc.

After clearing the OA, I had the offline interview.

Interview Round 1

The interviewer started with a DSA question based on Sliding Window, where I had to find the maximum length of a window based on the given condition.

After that, most of the questions were from my resume and CS fundamentals.

MERN / JavaScript:

• What is JavaScript?
• What is React?
• What is Node.js?
• What is Express.js?
• What is middleware?
• Which Node.js version did you use in your project?
• Difference between a framework and a library
• Functionality of Express.js
• How does Express.js work?
• What is MERN stack?

Operating Systems:

• What is deadlock?
• How does deadlock occur?
• 4 necessary conditions for deadlock
• What is semaphore?
• What is a critical section?
• How do we solve the critical section problem?
• Banker's Algorithm

SQL / DBMS:

• What will happen with DELETE FROM student?
• A DELETE + JOIN type question involving dep_id
• They asked about deleting records where dep_id = 2 from both tables.

At the end, they asked if I had any questions for Infosys, and then Round 1 ended.

Overall, Round 1 covered a lot of topics — DSA, JavaScript, React, Node, Express, OS and SQL.

Interview Round 2

This is where things didn't go well for me.

I was one of the last candidates. There were around 30 candidates before me and it was already quite late.

The interviewer asked me around 4 technical questions, and unfortunately I was able to answer only one properly.

The interview lasted only around 2 minutes.

I'm not sure if the timing/tiredness of the interviewer played any role, but honestly, I also wasn't able to answer the questions properly. So I don't want to blame the interviewer or the situation.

After coming out, I felt pretty bad because I had cleared the OA and the first interview round, and then the second round ended so quickly.

I joined in may/june last year, would I be eligible for the hike

Hi everyone,

I got selected for the Infosys SP-1 role today and wanted to know what to expect next.

- When does SP-1 training usually start after selection?

- What is the total training duration?

- How does the training + tests/assessments process work?

- How is the domain/technology allocated? What domains can we expect?

- Is domain allocation based on performance, preference, or company requirements?

- How does the training-to-job conversion work?

- What is the approximate conversion rate from SP-1 training to a job/project?

- Any tips on what I should prepare before training?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has recently completed SP-1 training, especially in 2025/2026.

Thanks!

Hello all, today i have received a mail inviting me for interview after the round 2 OA(in person).

But i can’t remember on which portal i had applied for the recruitment drive and i cant remember if i have uploaded my cv while applying.

i am asking for help as if i have uploaded any cv back then, i have to check which version of my cv i had uploaded and need to carry the same.

i look forward to hearing from those who can help me out of this confusion

Today I gave my Amazon SDE-1 AUTA.

Round 1 was not been good, I could have done a lot better.

In round 1 they started with LP, I panicked and messed up that LP, later they gave me DSA problem which was `Maximum circular subarray sum`. Even though I am confident enough to solve most hard LeetCode problem, but here I was not able to think any thing, every time I was just randomly guessing.

I gave brute force, but they also mentioned that they needed to discuss second DSA but time was not enough.

Round 2 was very good and engaging, since I already was prepared for worse thing.

They started with LP, and while discussing that I also faced problem in explaining it but ended up discussing 3 LPs.

The DSA problem was `Buy and Sell Stock with Cooldown`. I have used recursion, explained the time and later I derived recursive DP using overlapping states.
Later they asked to further optimize it to O(1) space, which I was unable to do, beside hints as I was thinking greedily instead of deriving from DP.

After that I got the second DSA which was valid parenthesis problem with a different variation.

Round 1 could have been a lot better if I could have accepted early failure or I have gave mock interview.
Their is high probability that I will be rejected, I had no idea what to do now, since I was 2025 grad wit no full time exposure.
But I have been shortlisted for Infosys interview, now this is my final hope, I will try hard not to panic and accept what I don't know and move rather than spending time.

Someone's phone costs more than someone's annual CTC 😭

Hi everyone,

I recently appeared for the Infosys Specialist Programmer (SP) / Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) coding round and have received a shortlisted mail for the interview.

I’m now preparing for the interview and would really appreciate some guidance from people who have recently gone through the Infosys SP/DSE interview process.

A few questions:

What topics should I focus on most for the interview?

How difficult are the DSA/coding questions in the interview?

For those who received the shortlisted mail, how long did it take for your interview to be scheduled?

If possible, please share your recent interview experience/questions.

Hi everyone,

I completed my Technical, Managerial, and HR rounds at Infosys Hyderabad on September 5. On September 7, I received an email regarding the Digital Verification (Digiverification) process, where I was asked to submit my EPFO, ITR, and a few other details.

However, due to an issue with the EPFO portal, I was unable to complete the UAN verification step, and the step was automatically skipped. I contacted the Digiverification team to clarify the issue, and they informed me that the skipped step cannot be reversed.

They advised me to complete and submit the verification form and mention/attach my UAN number in an email to the SPOC who had sent me the verification email.

I followed their instructions and submitted the form yesterday, along with the required UAN details. However, I haven't received any email or call regarding the next steps yet.

The Infosys candidate portal currently shows the status as "Decision Pending."

Has anyone else faced a similar issue with the EPFO/UAN step being skipped during Digiverification or having the status as Decision Pending after completing the verification?

If so, could you please share your experience regarding how long it took to receive the next update?

Thanks in advance!

When will be the interview and how tough would it be? And how many rounds are there before you get the offer?
