Infosys SP (Specialist Programmer) vs DSE: What is the coding round syllabus and cutoff?

Question

How many questions do we need to solve in the Infosys coding round to get shortlisted for the Specialist Programmer (9.5 LPA) role vs Digital Specialist Engineer (6.25 LPA)?

Vikram Rao · Accepted Answer

The Infosys certification / HackWithInfy test has 3 questions for 3 hours:

- **Question 1 (Easy-Medium - ~50-75 marks):** Greedy algorithms, two pointers, or string parsing.
- **Question 2 (Medium - 100 marks):** Dynamic programming (LCS, Knapsack, Matrix DP) or Tree traversal.
- **Question 3 (Hard - 150-175 marks):** Graph algorithms (Dijkstra, Disjoint Set Union) or Segment Trees.

### Cutoff Criteria:
- **DSE Shortlist:** Solving 1 full question + partial test cases on Question 2.
- **SP Shortlist:** Solving 2 full questions or 1.5+ questions with high test case coverage.

**Tip:** Infosys checks execution time and space strictly. Brute force $O(N^2)$ solutions will get TLE (Time Limit Exceeded) on 60% of test cases.
