Experience : 

I am sharing herein my off campus infosys drive for 1-2 years experienced candidates which took place in Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune on 7-8 Feb, 2015. In this drive there was written test on 7 Feb and interview on 8 Feb.

First Day  7 Feb :

  • In my case i got call letter from infosys on 30 Jan, 2015 for written test on 7 Feb. Though, i did not register on infosys career website but still i got this call letter so, later on i found out that some consultancy in Delhi applied for me through my naukri.com profile. On the day of the interview i came to know that there were also many people who got call for direct interview w/o written.
  • Test was subjective and there were only 10 questions. It mainly comprised of Arithmetic Reasoning, Analytical Thinking, Mathematical Critical Thinking and Logical Reasoning. The duration of the test is 60 minutes. Actually, it does'nt need preparation if your IQ is good otherwise you could read above topics at Indiabix website. 
  • I appeared for this drive in Mumbai and out of 400 candidates only 50 were selected for interview round. The result was announced after 2 hours from test and the date and location for interview .

Second  Day  8 Feb :

Technical Round : 

  • There were so many candidates having different job profiles. I have appeared for Oracle DBA profile.
  • The most important thing for experienced professionals is their resume. The technical interview is entirely based upon the contents of your resume.
  • There were two members in the interview panel. First, we had a general intro and then about my day to day activities which i already mentioned in my resume. My interview took around 40 minutes. I was fully prepared for every details i have mentioned in my resume. I have expected  theoretical questions from oracle and sql server but there were more of situation based. Since, i was having a good exposure to work and practical experience i have answered most of their questions. The key thing in technical round is your confidence if you know ans. and if you don't then say no instead of manipulating because they are very smart to catch you.
  • In technical round other then your knowledge your attitude and behavior is also noticed like you should never argue on any point, politely say no if you don't know answer.
  • After technical interview there was HR round. Now there was an interesting thing that i noticed they have not announced the result for technical round instead they have the list of candidates who have to appear for HR round. So, HR people said to other candidates that they will inform them later via mail but actually they were not selected. It means if you have cleared the technical round you will have the HR round at the same time.


HR round :

  • In HR round mainly three things were discussed location, package,working in shifts and notice period. There is no negotiation on package offered by infosys as there are some standards according to job level irrespective of your current package. After all this they say that they will get back to you in a week with the rest of the process however, they din't confirm your selection at this moment.
  • Now i waited for 3 weeks no mail and call. Then finally, i got offer letter on 3 March, 2015. I have gone through many blogs and websites for the time taken by infosys to roll out offer letter and there were different experiences. But, i have found that since, its a big drive all over the country at the same time it usually takes one month to roll out offer letters. Also, if you have given HR round then you are 100% selected though it may take time to get ol depending upon your technology. 
  • I have mentioned 45 days as my notice period but i got early joining so on my request they have  postponed the joining date. The best thing about infosys is that once you get the ol then they will wait for you and you can mention 3 months notice period w/o hesitation.
