Exam Pattern of InfyTQ Examination

Tentative exam pattern for InfyTQ online test is provided below :

Tentative Weightage

Programming MCQ’s : 40 marks (2*20, 2 marks per MCQ)

Hand’s on Problem : 60 marks (30*2, 30 marks per Problem)
But, this is our approximation.

Cut-Off Marks

As of now, you might be getting an idea that for clearing this certification exam, it is mandatory for you to solve both hand’s-on problems. And this is true indeed !! 
Let us look at the syllabus :

Syllabus

Syllabus for this online exam is divided into four modules :

1. Programming Fundamentals using Python

2. Object Oriented Programming using Python

3. Data Structures & Algorithms using Python

4. Learning DBMS & SQL

All these four modules are more than enough for anyone who wants to prepare for this exam. Content is impressive as it is full of examples, exercises, assignments and number of hands-on questions. Modules are highly descriptive and are very easy to understand, even if you are a beginner.   

Hence, these modules are sufficient for cracking the Objective (20 MCQ’s) Section of this exam.

Out of 20, you may expect 8-10 questions from the last module “Learning DBMS & SQL”. However, there is no written evidence that can prove this. 

After online exam, next process is HR interview, if you have good communication skills, then it will be a cake-walk for you.

If you clear both ONLINE EXAM as well as HR interview, then only you will be selected for SE profile at Infosys. Also, you will be given a chance to upgrade your profile (and your package) to System Engineer Specialist or Power Programmer. 

INFYTQ UPGRADE TEST 

InfyTQ Upgrade Test is a great opportunity to upgrade your job profile SE to SES role (package : 5 lpa), or even to Power Programmer profile (package : 8 lpa) if you have got some serious coding skills. This is a web-proctored examination. It contains 3 coding problems that are required to solve within 180 minutes. As per the observations, it was seen that people solving 1.5-2 coding problems were called for SES role and people solving more than 2 problems were called for PP role.

However, these stats are just provided to give you an overview of how things goes. As someone said, “You can not predict the competition !!” Team COG wishes you all the best !!
