Infosys campus placement for SES (System Engineer Specialist) role took place in our college and the 1st round took place in February 2021.

Round 1 (Coding Round): For round 1, there were basically 3 coding questions. 

  • The questions were easy to moderate and the time was given 3 hours.
  • You have to attend at least 1.5 questions (w.r.t test cases) to qualify for this round. Best if you can solve 2 problems fully. The question were basically from array, string.
  • Do practice DP (Dynamic Programming) either to be on the safer side.
  • I solved nearly 2.5 problem.
  • The result of 1st round was announced on 24th March 2021. Finally, 2nd round of interview was scheduled for 29th May, 2021 within just a day’s notice.

  1. Print “Hello World” without using a semicolon

  3. What is volatile
  4. What is static

  15. Then he asked me to calculate output of several (at least 5) pointer related codes.

    i. Fibonacci 

    ii. Factorial

  18. What is call by value and call by address?
  19. What are the object oriented concept?
  20. Have a look at this code and identify what object oriented concepts have been used?
    (Some times even being specific didn’t help as he was not getting the exact answer he was looking for, hence keep your calm and try to think what the exact answer he is looking for)
  21. What is DDL and DML? Explain.

  26. What is SDLC? Explain all the steps.
  27. Prototype model
  28. Agile model
    (Note- he neither asked me about my favorite subjects nor software engineering was mentioned in my CV. I wasn’t able to answer this section very well but anyway he continued asking)
  29. Do you know DevOps?
    (I said no, then he moved to OS)
  30. What is turned around time?
