2. Final Round: This round is a test for your programming abilities and database management systems. There are three sections for the final round:

  • Programming Test: You will be given two programming questions that you have to solve using the programming language of your choice (Java/Python). 
  • Multiple Choice Questions: You will be required to answer 10 MCQ questions based on the programming language of your choice (Java/Python).
  • The final section is to answer 10 questions based on database management systems. 

There is no negative marking for this round. You will get three hours to attempt the final round. 
Upon clearing the final round, you will be rewarded with the certification and the opportunity to interview with Infosys if you score more than 65%

3. Advantage Round: This round is mainly aimed at testing the programming capabilities of the candidate. In addition to Java and Python, you can appear for the test in any other programming language of your choice.

Previous Asked Questions during InfyTQ

Some of the previously asked programming questions are: 

  • Reset Matrix: You have given a 2-dimensional array ‘ARR’ with ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns in which each element contains only two values,i.e., 0 and 1. Your task is to convert the given matrix into the Good matrix in which if an element is 0, you need to set all elements values present in its entire row and column to 0. Solve on CodeStudio
  • Print Diagonal: You are given a 2D matrix, your task is to return a 2D vector containing all elements of the matrix in a diagonal fashion. Solve on CodeStudio
  • Print Time Again: Given two integers ‘D’ and ‘P’. Where ‘D’ is the number of hours in a day and a day can be divided into ‘P’ equal parts. Your task is to find total instances of equivalent prime groups. Prime group refers to the group of elements (hours) which are prime and measure the same equivalent time since the start of the day. Solve on CodeStudio
  • Rotting Oranges: You have been given a grid containing some oranges. Each cell of this grid has one of the three integers values:
    • Value 0 – representing an empty cell.
    • Value 1 – representing a fresh orange.
    • Value 2 – representing a rotten orange.

Every second, any fresh orange that is adjacent(4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten. Your task is to find out the minimum time after which no cell has a fresh orange. If it’s impossible to rot all the fresh oranges then print -1. Solve on CodeStudio

  • Merge Sorted List: For a given Singly Linked List of integers, sort the list using the ‘Merge Sort’ algorithm. You have not required To Print The Elements, Just Sort The Elements And Return The Head To The Updated Singly Linked List. Solve on CodeStudio
