Reviewed on 9 October 2026. This guide explains how people actually get hired at Infosys in India: the routes Infosys lists on its own careers pages, what is confirmed about the interview process, how HackWithInfy fits in, and how to check that an interview call or offer is genuine. It relies on Infosys's official pages as they stood on 9 October 2026. Where Infosys doesn't publish a detail, such as the exact test sections for a particular campus drive, this guide says so rather than guessing.
The main routes into Infosys
| Route | Who it suits | Where it is described |
|---|---|---|
| Campus and graduate hiring | Final-year students and recent graduates | The Infosys graduates page lists InfyTQ (a learning and engagement platform), Internships, Power Programmers (described as an exclusive coding unit), HackWithInfy (a coding competition) and Ingenious (a business management contest) |
| HackWithInfy | Engineering students with strong coding skills | The HackWithInfy page |
| Experienced hiring | Professionals with work experience | The Infosys India job portal |
| Internships | Students | Linked from the graduates and careers pages |
Most freshers enter through drives organised with their college's placement cell. If your college runs an Infosys drive, the placement cell's notice, together with any registration link it gives, is the document that governs your eligibility and test schedule.

According to the HackWithInfy page on 9 October 2026, the 2026 edition invited engineering students graduating in 2027. It listed this timeline:
| Stage | Period shown on the page | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Starting block (preparation) | January–March 2026 | Practice and preparation |
| Qualifier Round 1 | March 2026 | Virtual contest |
| Qualifier Round 2 | April 2026 | Face-to-face contest, with a chance of a pre-placement interview (PPI) and a Grand Finale place |
| Grand Finale | November 2026 | Four-day event |
The page says participants can get pre-placement interview opportunities for the Specialist Programmer role and other roles in Infosys's specialised units, as well as internships. It lists cash prizes for the top three teams of USD 3,300, USD 1,650 and USD 1,100 (stated "as of January 2026"). It also links to sample questions and preparatory guidance. Treat these as the reference for difficulty, rather than question dumps from third-party sites.
What Infosys confirms about the interview process
Infosys doesn't publish one fixed sequence of rounds for every role. Its recruitment fraud alert does confirm several facts you can rely on:
- The hiring process involves at least one interview, virtual or in person.
- Infosys will not request an interview on instant messaging applications.
- Infosys never asks for fees for any purpose during or after hiring, and doesn't accept security deposits.
- The recruitment team writes from email addresses on the @infosys.com domain.
- The recruitment team doesn't ask for bank account details, tax forms or credit card information as part of recruitment.
In practice, expect an application or registration step, an assessment or screening step set out in your invitation, one or more interviews, and then an offer. Read every invitation carefully. It tells you the format, duration, platform and documents for that stage, and those details vary between drives and roles.
Applying as an experienced professional
The India job portal lets you search by skill or keyword and location, upload a resume, and register. Each job card shows the location, the entity and an experience band. On 9 October 2026, for example, listings included a Technical Publication Engineer and a Design Engineer in Bangalore (each with 1–3 years' experience) and a Design Engineer (Medical Devices) in Pune (5–8 years).
Before applying, match your resume to the listed responsibilities. Take the Design Engineer listing, which mentions 3D modelling in UG NX, CATIA or SolidWorks, BOMs and engineering change records. A strong application names the tool you used, the kind of assembly or drawing you produced, and how many engineering changes you handled, all stated accurately for your own work.
Preparation checklist by stage
| Stage | What to prepare | Evidence to have ready |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Correct name, date of birth and academic scores matching your mark sheets | Mark sheets, degree or provisional certificate, ID proof |
| Assessment | The format stated in your invitation; for coding routes, HackWithInfy's sample questions are a good benchmark | Practice logs showing your timed attempts and mistakes |
| Technical interview | Fundamentals of the languages and subjects on your resume, plus every project you list | A one-page note on each project: problem, your role, design choices, results |
| HR discussion | Location flexibility, joining timelines, and your reasons for choosing Infosys | Answers consistent with what you wrote in the application |
| Offer | The written terms, joining date and documents list | Original documents and a record of every communication |

How to check an interview call or offer is genuine
Work through these checks before you share documents or accept anything:
- Domain. Is the email from an @infosys.com address? Infosys warns that scammers can spoof the display name. Treat any Gmail or Yahoo address copied on an offer or interview call as a warning sign.
- Channel. An interview arranged over WhatsApp or another messaging app contradicts Infosys's own statement.
- Money. Any request for a fee, deposit, "training charge" or "laptop charge" marks a scam.
- Data. Requests for bank details, credit card numbers or tax forms during recruitment contradict Infosys's notice.
- Validation. The Infosys India job portal has a "Validate and Accept Offer" option, and the fraud alert page offers a validation link for Infosys Limited, India. Use them, starting from the official site rather than a link in the suspicious message.
If you believe you have been targeted, Infosys's page advises approaching law enforcement immediately. In India, you can also report cyber fraud on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
Key takeaways
- Use only Infosys's own pages and your college placement cell as sources for eligibility and dates.
- HackWithInfy is a separate, competitive route that can lead to PPIs for Specialist Programmer and other specialised-unit roles.
- Expect at least one interview. Infosys never charges fees and doesn't interview over instant messaging.
- Validate any offer through the official portal before acting on it.
