Online Test Pattern (General/Systems Engineer Level)

Here’s a typical pattern for the standard fresher (Systems Engineer) role.

Key notes:

  • The sections are often section-wise timed (you finish one section before moving to next) rather than free navigation. 

  • There may be sectional cut-offs (you must clear each section) rather than just overall score. 

  • Usually no negative marking is explicitly stated in many cases (but check your drive).


Online Test Pattern (Specialised Roles: Specialist Programmer / Digital Specialist)

For higher-level fresher roles such as Specialist Programmer (SP) or Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) at Infosys, the pattern is more coding/DSA-heavy. For example:

  • The test may consist of 3 coding problems in one session (approx 3 hours) covering Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), Greedy, Dynamic Programming etc. 

  • Languages allowed: C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript. 

  • Focus is more on programming logic than just aptitude. 


What to Expect:

  • The mix: Aptitude + reasoning + verbal + basic programming.

  • The difficulty: For standard SE role it’s moderate; for SP role it’s high (coding heavy).

  • Emphasis: Quick speed + accuracy for aptitude & reasoning; clear logic for pseudo-code/coding.

  • Time-management is important because each section has limited time.

  • Verbal & communication skills are not just extras—they matter (especially writing/grammar section if present).


Preparation Strategy Summary

  • Practice quantitative ability: percentages, DI, time & work, number series.

  • Strengthen logical reasoning: puzzles, arrangements, coding-decoding, syllogisms.

  • Improve English: practice para jumbles, grammar, reading comprehension, short writing.

  • Build basic programming logic: loops, arrays, conditional statements, simple algorithms.

  • For SP/advanced roles: focus on DSA (arrays, strings, trees, graphs), coding in one language, solving problems under time pressure.

  • Take mock tests that simulate sectional timing and format (e.g., 10 questions in 35 mins, etc).

  • Practice previous years’ papers for variations and patterns.
