How to Apply for Infosys 2026 – Step-by-Step Guide

If you're a 2026 pass-out wondering how to apply for Infosys 2026, this guide covers every step, from eligibility check to interview prep, so you don't miss a window or get screened out on a technicality.

Infosys runs both on-campus and off-campus hiring cycles year-round. Knowing which portal to use, when to register, and how the selection pipeline works is half the battle.

What Is the Infosys 2026 Recruitment Process?

Infosys hires freshers under three main tracks in 2026:

Infosys has not published these figures; ranges above are based on candidate reports, not confirmed company data. Each track has its own eligibility bar, test pattern, and application route. The SE track is the mass-hiring path. DSE and SP require stronger coding ability and are tested separately.

You can apply through:

1. Infosys Careers portal (infosys.com/careers, direct application, the safest entry point)
2. InfyTQ (off-campus, self-scheduled, linked from the Careers portal)
3. Campus placement (through your college's training and placement cell)

Eligibility Criteria for Infosys 2026

Before applying, check the exact cut-offs. Based on candidate reports, Infosys does not publish these thresholds on its careers portal, so treat the table below as candidate-reported, not an Infosys-confirmed policy.

The 60% bar is reported to apply to all academic levels (10th, 12th, UG), not just your degree, and candidates around 59.8% have reported rejection at document verification, round-up not accepted, but confirm the exact figure against your own drive notification. For the complete backlog policy, see Infosys backlog policy 2026.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply for Infosys 2026

Step 1, Register on InfyTQ

Start at infosys.com/careers, the official Infosys careers portal, and follow the fresher-hiring link for your track; the standalone InfyTQ site has not been a reliably reachable registration entry point recently, so confirm the current registration URL there rather than typing an old InfyTQ address from memory. InfyTQ itself is Infosys's learning + hiring platform; completing courses on it is not mandatory but helps during shortlisting.

Fill in your academic details exactly as they appear on your marksheets. Mismatches at document verification are grounds for offer revocation.

Step 2, Complete Your Profile

Upload your resume, fill in CGPA/percentage for each academic level, and add project/internship details. Infosys recruiters filter by academic percentage before scheduling tests, an incomplete profile gets skipped.

If you have an internship-to-full-time conversion on record, add it. Read the internship to full-time conversion guide 2026 to understand how that impacts your application.

Step 3, Apply for the Relevant Track

On the InfyTQ dashboard, navigate to Assessments → Apply for Infosys. You'll see available drives by track (SE, DSE, PP). Select the track you're eligible for and schedule a test slot. You can reschedule once before the test date.

For campus recruits: your T&P cell registers the batch collectively. You still need an InfyTQ account, the campus drive is linked to individual profiles.

Step 4, Clear the Online Assessment

The Infosys online test is the primary filter. Pattern differs by track:

Infosys does not publish section-wise timings; this breakdown is candidate-reported and can shift between cycles. For the full section-wise breakdown, see Infosys exam pattern 2026.

Step 5, Await Shortlisting Communication

Results come via email to your registered InfyTQ account within 10–15 working days of the test. Shortlisted candidates are called for interview rounds. Check your spam folder, Infosys communications often land there.

Step 6, Attend the Interview Rounds

SE track: typically 1–2 rounds (HR + technical). DSE track: 2–3 rounds (technical + coding + HR). Specialist Programmer (formerly Power Programmer): full panel including a complex coding interview.

Brush up on the commonly asked questions in Infosys interview questions 2026 before your interview date.

Step 7, Document Verification and Offer

Post-selection, upload scanned copies of all marksheets, ID proof, and offer acceptance form on the Infosys portal. Offer letters typically follow within 4–8 weeks of the interview for SE roles, and 2–4 weeks for DSE.

Infosys 2026 Cutoff Trends

Infosys does not publish official cut-off scores, and a reliable year-by-year percentile trend cannot be responsibly stated from public discussion alone, so this guide will not manufacture one. The direction candidates most often describe is a tightening effective cutoff (share of test-takers who clear to interview) since 2022, with DSE consistently described as harder to clear than SE, but exact percentiles per year vary too much by report to table here.
