Note: The difficulty level rises with each round, meaning Round 1 is the easiest level, and the Top 7000 students get to qualify for Round 2.

Based on previous year's Hack With Infy competition analysis, the guide to Infosys Syllabus 2022 also includes the following subjects which help achieve success in round-2 :

Data Structures: Recognising types of data and analyzing which operations can take place on them.

Hashing Concepts: The process of transforming a given key into a smaller value for O(1) retrieval time is known as hashing. This is accomplished by using a function or technique known as a hash function to translate data to an encrypted or simplified representative value known as a "hash code" or "hash."

Game Theory: The process of modeling strategic interaction between two or more players. It is the study of how interacting choices of economic actors produce results that are related to the preferences (or utility) of those agents, even if none of the agents intended the outcomes in the issue.

Mathematical coding problems: It helps to modify, innovate, and form abstract concepts. Examples could be GCD and LCM, Prime Factorization and Divisors, Fibonacci Numbers, Catalan Numbers, Modular Arithmetic, etc.
