From student reports - Confirm Live Pattern

Infosys does not publish one permanent public paper for every college. The table above aggregates recent IRT-style reports as of 2026 prep season. Sectional timing, navigation rules, and cutoffs can differ by batch - treat this as a planning blueprint, not an official Infosys document.

Section-wise exam pattern 2026 notes

• Quant + Reasoning: Main volume filters; speed matters as much as accuracy.
• Verbal: Reading comprehension + grammar; usually easier than quant.
• Pseudo Code: Trace outputs / fix logic - bridge to coding.
• Coding (critical): 2 problems; clearing at least 1 with all/near-all test cases is widely reported as necessary to advance.
• Languages (coding): Typically C, C++, Java, Python - pick one and stick to it under time pressure.

Infosys preparation 2026 - strategy & study plan

How to prepare for Infosys paper pattern 2026

1. Map the exam pattern first - Know sectional time buckets (quant ~30-35 min, coding ~60-70 min) before grinding random questions.
2. Split prep time - Roughly 40% coding/DSA, 35% quant+reasoning, 15% verbal/pseudo-code, 10% mocks + interview.
3. Drill previous-year style - Use Infosys coding questions and aptitude questions as PYQ stand-ins for 2026.
4. Weekly full mock - One timed ~180-minute simulation; review every wrong MCQ and failed test case.
5. Interview buffer - After OA clears, expect technical (projects + basics) and HR; do not stop prep at coding only.

6-Month preparation plan (2026)

Months 1-2: Foundation

Months 3-4: Practice

• Solve previous year papers (2024, 2025) under timed sections
• Practice coding problems daily (aim 2 problems / day)
• Take sectional mock tests matching the 2026 pattern
• Focus on weak areas (quant DI, pseudo-code, edge cases)

Months 5-6: Refinement

• Full-length 180-minute mock tests weekly
• Time-bound coding: finish both problems inside 70 minutes
• Revision sheets for formulas + common patterns
• Technical + HR interview preparation

2-Week Sprint (If Season Is Close)

Days 1-4: Quant + LR speed drills · Days 5-8: Coding patterns (arrays, strings, hashing, basic DP) · Days 9-11: Two full paper-pattern mocks · Days 12-14: Pseudo-code + verbal + interview stories. Prefer depth on high-frequency topics over covering every niche chapter.
