Each component of the exam is given a set amount of time to finish all of the questions in that area. The applicant can attempt questions in any sequence in a given section, but he or she cannot move between parts, implying that the candidate must first complete one section before moving on to the next.

To Sum Up…
We have tried to cover the basics of the Infosys recruitment process and tried to add the important questions that have appeared in the past interviews. The difficulty level of this round is moderate. If you have a good IQ and communication skills, then you can easily crack this round. Having skills such as complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity will come in handy for you.
If you are still on with your preparation game, don’t forget to enroll in PrepBytes Placement Programs.
That’s it from us, one last quick tip would be: Be confident and always take time before answering a question. Infosys tests you on basic skills because the rest of them will be taught to you once you are hired. Just get your fundamentals right and practice coding as much as you can before the interview.
