Infosys interview questions — technical and HR rounds

Infosys interviews lean on fundamentals, communication clarity and training-readiness. For laterals, expect scenario questions on the exact stack listed in the JD.

How the process runs

  1. 1Online assessment (reasoning, pseudocode, puzzle-solving)
  2. 2Technical interview — DBMS, OOP, one language of your choice
  3. 3Systems/stack round for experienced candidates
  4. 4HR round — background, stability, expectations

Top 5 questions, with what they're really testing

1. Which programming language are you most comfortable with, and why?

Why they ask: Your answer sets the rest of the technical round. They will go deep into whatever you name.

How to answer: Name only a language you can defend on syntax, memory model and a real project. Add one line about what you built with it.

2. What are joins in SQL? Write a query using one.

Why they ask: Almost every Infosys project touches data. They want to see you write, not recite.

How to answer: Explain inner vs left in one line each, then write a small query out loud with real table names from a project you worked on.

3. How do you handle a task you have never done before?

Why they ask: Trainability is the core hiring signal for Infosys entry roles.

How to answer: Describe a real instance: how you scoped it, who you asked, what you read, and the result. Show you unblocked yourself before escalating.

4. Where do you see yourself in three years?

Why they ask: Attrition is expensive after a paid training period. They are screening for intent.

How to answer: Tie growth to the company path — deeper technical ownership, a certification, a module lead role. Avoid 'doing my own startup' or 'higher studies'.

5. Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate.

Why they ask: They are checking whether you escalate, sulk, or resolve.

How to answer: Use STAR, keep the other person reasonable in your telling, and end with what you jointly shipped.
