There were about 30 questions and the difficult level was as low as 10<sup>th<\/sup> standard mathematics. Anybody with clear fundamentals can easily crack this round.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Technical test:<\/span><\/strong> This was also a written test.

My interview panelist was a well-behaved and polite. She was very patent with me and gave me ample time to solve every question, some of them on a paper with a pen, that I borrowed from her.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span style=\"color: #000000\">Round 3<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">HR Interview round \u2013 It was a very generic round. Any confident candidate can easily face this round. Questions asked were a little personal, like my family background and my personal interests. The interviewer also asked me if I had any relatives or friend working with the company. He checked his Outlook for their name to ensure I was not bluffing!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_learnings_from_the_interview_rounds\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong><u>My learnings from the interview rounds<\/u><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"><u><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Round 1<\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first round was purely a pen and paper round. Infosys HR personnel provided us with a question and answer sheet. Invigilation was very strict and nobody was allowed to talk. The first part had objective questions and second part had subjective questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Objective questions:<\/span><\/strong> This section comprised of quantitative aptitude questions, verbal reasoning questions and basic technical questions.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Subjective questions:<\/span><\/strong> This section had questions pertaining to basic coding and SQL queries<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The entire test lasted for about 2 hours.

Questions in this technical interview were somewhat easy as I explained earlier. I had practiced a lot in advance and had spoken to a few seniors. All of them said 80% of the job is done if a candidate clears the written round. These lines boosted my confidence further.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Round 3<\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Candidate names who had made it into the final round were announced after round 2. The last and final round was an HR interview. We were briefed about the terms and conditions of working with Infosys in an induction program. We were shown slides about the company culture and goals. I felt so inspired that in the HR round, I felt motivated to speak all the better. When it came down to the third and final round, I simply focused on communication skills. All my seniors had told me beforehand that Infosys HR pays a lot of attention to the way we articulate our thoughts. So, I went prepared and you must go prepared as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\"><u>Infosys technical interview questions I faced and how I answered them<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> <strong>What are your strong points in as far as technical knowledge is concerned?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> I am good at coding in Java and C++.

Inheritance enables code reusability. Hence it is important in development.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> <strong>Explain your recent project in detail? <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> In my recent project, my contribution was significant. I led the team and strategized too in terms of process, programming standards, inculcating code re-usability via inheritance concepts, and more. We were working in three shifts and deliverables were due every alternate day, which made this project more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> <strong>Explain IOT in brief.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> Internet of Things(IoT) is a network of electronic devices embedded\u00a0with\u00a0software,\u00a0sensors,\u00a0actuators, and\u00a0connectivity.\u00a0All the objects connected to this network have their individual IP addresses and all of them are capable of exchanging data. If you own one or all of these devices, you can control them remotely.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> <strong>What do you understand by Artificial Intelligence?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> AI is a new and emerging concept in the field of computer science. In simple terms, it is the use of simulated\u00a0intelligence\u00a0in machines. This new-age technology emphasizes on the creation of\u00a0intelligent\u00a0machines. Gadgets and gizmos powered by AI portray human-like intellect to carry out activities.

This hidden data stays restricted to members in a particular class. Various levels of data encapsulation include Public, Protected, Private, Internal and Protected Internal.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Quick tips about this round<\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>It is very easy to crack. Simply master the concepts of computer science engineering and don\u2019t forget to practice mock aptitude tests online. In the technical interview round, I was asked about my college project work also. So, master the basics of object-oriented programming you applied in your project work. Also try to brush up OOPS, Java and HTML basics.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I would suggest before appearing for any campus placement interview, study the company\u2019s services and market share thoroughly. If possible, read up on the senior management and leadership team. On the day of the drive, I wore business formals to leave a striking first impression on my interviewer. You may also avoid putting on T shirts, jeans and sports shoes. I reached the venue 15 minutes before time to avoid last minute rush and it paid off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infosys_HR_interview_questions_I_faced_and_how_I_answered_them\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"><u>Infosys HR interview questions I faced and how I answered them<\/u><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/hr-interview-questions-tell-me-about-yourself\">Tell me something about yourself<\/a> and your family?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> I was born and brought up in Dehradun itself.

As you can see in my resume, I am currently pursuing my B. Tech in Computer Science from this college. Being the topper of my class, I was appointed the class representative in this semester. Apart from studies, I love to play basketball. Last year my team won the zonal inter-college basketball tournament. I am also a member of the National Cadet Corps\u00a0\u2013 C Certificate batch, of my college.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong><strong>What did I enjoy the most about engineering?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A:<\/span><\/strong> Well I got to work with new technology, solved puzzles and wrote amazing logic. I also liked the way our faculty taught us, i.e. they gave us ample scope to complete hands on projects. However, the least enjoyable part of my B. Tech tenure was Mechanical Workshop in first year. The lab setup was not very attractive and sometimes equipment kept indoors felt greasy and not very clean.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Q:<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/general-hr-interview-question-answer-why-should-we-hire-you\"><strong> Why Infosys?

Honestly, I aspire to be a talented INFOSCION someday. Also, I am a huge fan of Mr. Narayan Murthy because he is a man of principles and is also one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time. Not to forget, I know some college seniors who are well placed at present. All I get to hear from them is praises about the company\u2019s work culture. These are a few reasons why I would like to join Infosys.<\/p>\n<p>Infosys HR personnel have a lot of experience in taking interviews. They will instantly catch you if you bluff. So be real and sound genuine during the interview. If the question is slightly awkward, do not pretend. Hesitation is normal but feel confident from within. Try to give clear answers in short sentences, and do not manipulate your responses. While speaking in English, try not to complete your sentences with Hindi words.<\/p>\n<p>All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company:\u00a0Infosys Profile:\u00a0Software Engineer Salary:\u00a05 Lakhs Per Annum Place: Graphic Era University, Dehradun Number of Rounds: 3 Result: Selected Infosys came to our college for campus recruitment on 21st December 2017. &hellip; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/infosys-software-engineer-trainee-placement-experience\" class=\"more\">Read More <em class=\"arrow\"><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,65],"tags":[217,365],"class_list":["post-1555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-company-wise-experience","category-infosys","tag-infosys-interview","tag-interview-experience"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
