Interview questions by company and role
What each panel actually asks, why they ask it, and the answer approach that works — for India's biggest employers and the roles people apply to most.
By company
TCS
TCS hires at scale through NQT, campus and lateral drives. The technical round stays close to fundamentals and your final-year project, while the HR round tests relocation, service agreement comfort and long-term intent.

Infosys
Infosys interviews lean on fundamentals, communication clarity and training-readiness. For laterals, expect scenario questions on the exact stack listed in the JD.
24 questions · 4 rounds
Accenture
Accenture weighs client-facing communication as heavily as technical depth. Expect a communication assessment, then scenario questions about deadlines, clients and ambiguity.
23 questions · 4 rounds
Wipro
Wipro's Elite NTH process is fundamentals-first, with a written communication test that trips up many otherwise strong candidates. Laterals face a project and domain deep dive.

Cognizant
Cognizant GenC interviews are heavy on coding fundamentals and project ownership. Experienced roles add a client-account and domain layer.

By role and round
Software Engineer
Product and services companies both test data structures, system design basics and how you reason under uncertainty. The behavioural half decides between two technically equal candidates.

Data Analyst
Analyst interviews are SQL-first, then a business case where they check whether you can turn a number into a decision.
25 questions · 4 rounds
HR Round
The HR round rarely wins you the job, but it loses jobs every day — on salary, notice period, relocation and one careless sentence about your last manager.

Reading questions is not practising them
Interview Copilot builds a question set from your own resume and the job you're applying to, listens to your spoken answer, scores it on structure, relevance and specificity, and rewrites a stronger version you can actually say out loud.
Common questions
Are these the actual questions asked in interviews?
They are the questions reported most often by candidates for each company and role in India, grouped by round. Wording varies between panels, but the intent behind each question stays the same — which is why every question here explains what the interviewer is really testing.
How should I prepare for an interview in one day?
Read the round structure for your company, prepare your 'tell me about yourself' and two STAR stories you can adapt, revise the top five technical questions for your stack, and rehearse your salary and notice-period answers out loud.
Is this free?
Yes. Every question, the reasoning and the answer approach are free with no signup. Practising your spoken answers with AI scoring is part of the paid Interview Copilot, which new accounts can try with free credits.
