42+ Top Infosys Interview Questions and Answers to Prepare for in 2025

By upGrad

Updated on Mar 03, 2025 | 27 min read

Share:

Infosys is a global IT services leader specializing in software engineering, consulting, and digital transformation. The Infosys interview process evaluates candidates on their technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and how well they align with the company’s values and collaborative culture.

This blog outlines specific Infosys interview questions and answers, offering insights into key stages like coding tests, technical rounds, and HR interviews. Understanding these stages and the evaluation criteria will help you prepare thoroughly and increase your chances of success in securing a role at Infosys.

Top Infosys Interview Process and Questions for Freshers: What to Prepare For?

The Infosys interview process for freshers begins with an online assessment that includes Aptitude (Quantitative, Logical, and Verbal Reasoning) and Coding sections. 

The coding round typically covers Data Structures (Arrays, Linked Lists, Trees), Dynamic Programming, and Sorting Algorithms, and may feature competitive programming-style questions (similar to LeetCode Medium). 

This is followed by a Technical Interview and, finally, the HR Round. Prepare for topics such as data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and database management systems. 

This section covers common Infosys interview questions that assess your foundation in software development and your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios.

1. What Is the Concept of an Object in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), an object is an instance of a class. It encapsulates data (attributes) and behavior (methods) related to real-world entities. Objects interact with each other through methods and are used to model real-world systems, making software more modular and easier to manage.

Example: A Car object could have attributes like color, make, and model and methods like start() and stop().

Preparing for the  Infosys interview process requires strong skills in programming, problem-solving, and system design. upGrad’s software engineering courses provide the knowledge and tools to help you develop these skills, enhancing your readiness for technical assessments and career opportunities in the IT industry.

2. How Would You Define a Class in OOP?

A class in OOP is a blueprint or prototype for creating objects. It defines attributes (properties) and methods (functions) that the objects created from the class will have. A class is the logical grouping of related attributes and behaviors that describe an entity or concept.

Example: A Car class might define attributes like color and engineType, and methods like accelerate() or brake().

3. What Are the Core Principles of Object-Oriented Programming?

The core principles of OOP are:

  • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods into a single unit (class) and restricting direct access to some of the object’s components.
  • Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and showing only the essential features.
  • Inheritance: Creating new classes from existing ones to reuse code and enhance functionality.
  • Polymorphism: Allowing methods to have the same name but behave differently based on the object they are acting upon.

4. Can You Explain the Differences Between Method Overloading and Method Overriding?

  • Method Overloading: This involves defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters (type, number, or both). It’s resolved at compile-time.
  • Method Overriding: Occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation for a method already defined in its superclass. This is resolved at runtime.
    Example:
  • Overloading: A method add(int a, int b) and add(double a, double b) are overloaded.
  • Overriding: A subclass overrides the draw() method of a superclass to provide its specific implementation.

5. What Role Does a Constructor Play in a Class?

A constructor is a special method in OOP that is automatically invoked when an object of a class is created. It initializes the object's attributes and performs setup operations. Constructors are important for ensuring objects are initialized to valid states when they are instantiated.

Example:

class Car {
    String color;
    Car(String color) {
        this.color = color;  // Constructor initializes the 'color' attribute
    }
}

6. Can You Provide a Brief Explanation of Object-Oriented Programming?

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around data, or objects, rather than functions. It uses classes to define data types and objects to store values. 

OOP promotes code reusability, modularity, and ease of maintenance through concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.

7. Why Is It Beneficial to Use Object-Oriented Programming in Software Development?

OOP provides several benefits in the field of software:

  • Modularity: Code is organized into reusable objects, improving maintainability.
  • Scalability: New features can be added with minimal disruption.
  • Reusability: Classes and objects can be reused across programs, reducing redundancy.
  • Maintainability: Modifying one part of a program doesn’t affect the entire system, making it easier to update.

8. What Are the Key Characteristics That Define Object-Oriented Programming?

The key characteristics of OOP are:

  • Encapsulation: Wrapping data and methods within a class and restricting direct access.
  • Inheritance: Reusing code by creating new classes based on existing ones.
  • Polymorphism: Methods in different classes with the same name but different implementations.
  • Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only essential features to the user.

9. How Does Inheritance Work in Object-Oriented Programming?

Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class. The new class (subclass or derived class) can reuse code from the parent class (superclass) and extend or modify its behavior.

Example:

class Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Some sound");
    }
}
class Dog extends Animal {
    void sound() {
        System.out.println("Bark");
    }
}

Here, Dog inherits sound() from Animal but overrides it with its own implementation.

10. What Is Encapsulation, and Why Is It Important in OOP?

Encapsulation is the bundling of data (attributes) and methods (functions) into a single unit or class. It restricts direct access to some of an object's components and allows controlled access through getter and setter methods.

  • Importance: It ensures data integrity, reduces complexity, and increases modularity by preventing external interference.

Example:

class Employee {
    private String name;
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

11. How Does Polymorphism Work in Object-Oriented Programming?

Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass. The two main types are:

  • Method Overriding: A subclass redefines a method already present in the superclass.
  • Method Overloading: Defining multiple methods with the same name but different parameters.

Example of Overriding:

class Shape {
    void draw() {
        System.out.println("Drawing shape");
    }
}
class Circle extends Shape {
    void draw() {
        System.out.println("Drawing circle");
    }
}

Here, draw() is overridden in the Circle class to provide a specific implementation.

12. Could You Explain the Concept of Abstraction in OOP?

Abstraction in OOP is the concept of hiding complex implementation details and showing only the necessary features of an object. It helps reduce complexity by allowing the user to interact with an object at a higher level.

Example: A car class might provide an abstract method drive(), while different car models implement specific driving mechanisms.

13. What Is the Difference Between an Abstract Class and an Interface in Java or C++?

  • Abstract Class: Can have both abstract methods (without implementation) and concrete methods (with implementation). It allows the inheritance of a common code and cannot be instantiated.
  • Interface: Contains only abstract methods and constants (in Java, Java 8 introduced default methods). It defines a contract but doesn't provide method implementation.

Key Difference: An abstract class supports partial implementation; an interface focuses purely on the structure of methods.

14. What Is Method Hiding in Object-Oriented Programming, and How Is It Different from Method Overriding?

Method Hiding occurs when a static method in a subclass has the same signature as a static method in the superclass, but it does not override it. Instead, it hides the parent class method.

  • Difference: Method overriding involves dynamic method dispatch at runtime, while method hiding is resolved at compile-time for static methods.

Example:

class Parent {
    static void display() {
        System.out.println("Parent");
    }
}
class Child extends Parent {
    static void display() {
        System.out.println("Child");
    }
}

15. How Does Multiple Inheritance Work in Java, and Why Is It Not Directly Supported?

Java does not support multiple inheritance directly to avoid complexity and ambiguity, especially when two parent classes have methods with the same signature. Instead, Java uses interfaces to achieve multiple inheritance, where a class can implement multiple interfaces.

Example:

interface A {
    void methodA();
}
interface B {
    void methodB();
}
class C implements A, B {
    public void methodA() {}
    public void methodB() {}
}

16. Can You Explain the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Binding in OOP?

  • Static Binding (Early Binding): Happens at compile-time. It refers to the method calls and variable references that are resolved during the compilation process. It is typically used for private, static, and final methods.
  • Dynamic Binding (Late Binding): Happens at runtime. It refers to the method calls in polymorphism, where the method is resolved based on the actual object at runtime.

Example:

class Parent {
    void display() { System.out.println("Parent"); }
}
class Child extends Parent {
    void display() { System.out.println("Child"); }
}

17. What Is a Final Class in Java, and When Would You Use It?

A final class in Java cannot be subclassed or extended. This is useful when you want to prevent inheritance of the class to ensure it remains unchanged and is used as a complete implementation.

Use case: A class representing utility methods or constants, like String in Java, can be made final to prevent extension.

18. What Is the Purpose of the Super Keyword in Java, and How Is It Used?

The super keyword in Java refers to the immediate parent class. It can be used to call the parent class constructor, access parent class methods, or access parent class variables.

Example:

class Parent {
    void display() { System.out.println("Parent"); }
}
class Child extends Parent {
    void display() {
        super.display();  // Calls Parent class display()
        System.out.println("Child");
    }
}

19. How Does Operator Overloading Work in C++? Can You Provide an Example?

Operator overloading in C++ allows you to define how operators behave for user-defined types (classes). You can redefine the functionality of operators like +, -, *, etc., for custom classes.

Example:

class Complex {
public:
    int real, imag;
    Complex operator + (const Complex& obj) {
        Complex temp;
        temp.real = real + obj.real;
        temp.imag = imag + obj.imag;
        return temp;
    }
};

20. What Is a Pointer in C/C++, and How Is Memory Handled Using Pointers?

A pointer in C/C++ is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable. It allows direct access and manipulation of memory locations.

  • Memory handling: Pointers are used to dynamically allocate and free memory, and they enable efficient manipulation of data structures.

Example:

int x = 10;
int* p = &x;  // p stores the address of x

21. How Is Memory Management Implemented in C++?

In C++, memory management is done manually using new and delete operators. new allocates memory dynamically on the heap, while delete frees that memory. This gives programmers control over memory but also introduces the risk of memory leaks if not managed properly.

Example:

int* p = new int(10);  // dynamically allocated memory
delete p;               // deallocates memory

22. What Are Virtual Functions in C++, and Why Are They Important for Polymorphism?

Virtual functions in C++ allow methods in a base class to be overridden by derived classes, enabling runtime polymorphism. When a function is declared as virtual, the method that gets called is determined at runtime based on the actual object type.

Example:

class Base {
public:
    virtual void show() { cout << "Base class"; }
};
class Derived : public Base {
public:
    void show() override { cout << "Derived class"; }
};

Here, show() is virtual, so it will call the Derived class version when using a base class pointer to a derived object.

23. What Is the Role of a Copy Constructor in C++, and When Is It Used?

copy constructor in C++ creates a new object as a copy of an existing object. It is invoked when an object is passed by value, returned by value, or explicitly copied. Its role is to ensure that dynamic memory and resources are properly handled during the copying process to avoid shallow copies that may lead to resource conflicts or memory leaks.

Example:

class MyClass {
public:
    int* ptr;
    MyClass(int val) { ptr = new int(val); }
    MyClass(const MyClass& other) { ptr = new int(*(other.ptr)); } // Copy constructor
};

24. What Are SQL Triggers, and How Are They Used in Database Management?

SQL triggers are special types of stored procedures that are automatically executed in response to specific events on a table or view, such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. Triggers are used for enforcing business rules, data validation, or automatically logging changes to data.

Example: A trigger that updates a timestamp whenever a record is updated:

CREATE TRIGGER update_time
BEFORE UPDATE ON Employees
FOR EACH ROW
SET NEW.last_modified = NOW();

25. What Are Clustered Indexes, and How Do They Improve Database Performance?

A clustered index determines the physical order of data in a table. It is used to optimize search queries by arranging the table’s rows in the order of the indexed column. A table can have only one clustered index, as the data rows can be sorted only in one order. 

It improves performance in range queries and can significantly speed up data retrieval.

Example: In a table with an index on date, queries filtering by date range will benefit from faster access.

26. What Distinguishes SQL from MySQL? What Are the Key Distinctions?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard language used for querying and managing databases, while MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that implements SQL.

Key distinction: SQL as a Language is used to interact with databases, whereas MySQL as a Database System is the software that manages and executes SQL commands to handle the data.

Gain expertise in MySQL and learn how to design efficient, scalable databases. Enroll in upGrad's Introduction to Database Design with MySQL free course and sharpen your skills for database-related questions in the Infosys interview process!

NoSQL databases are better suited for unstructured data and can scale horizontally, unlike traditional SQL databases that often scale vertically.

  • SQL: Structured data, ACID compliance.
  • NoSQL: Unstructured data, flexible schemas, better horizontal scalability.

28. What Are the Advantages of C++ Over C, Especially in Modern Programming?

C++ provides several advantages over C, including:

  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): C++ supports OOP features like classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation, which aid in modular, reusable code.
  • Standard Template Library (STL): C++ includes powerful libraries for data structures, algorithms, and iterators.
  • Memory Management: C++ offers better control over dynamic memory allocation with new and delete compared to C.

These features make C++ more suited for complex, modern software development when C vs C++ is compared.

29. How Do C++ and Java Differ? Which Language Would You Choose for Specific Use Cases, and Why?

C++ is a compiled, low-level language offering more control over memory management and hardware, making it suitable for performance-critical applications like system software, embedded systems, or game development.

Java, on the other hand, is platform-independent, uses garbage collection, and has a large ecosystem for web and enterprise applications.

Choice for use case: Choose C++ for high-performance, resource-constrained environments; choose Java for cross-platform enterprise applications and web development. Thus, this is the difference between C++ vs Java.

30. Can You Explain the Different Types of Data in C++?

C++ supports several data types:

  • Primitive Types: int, char, float, double, bool.
  • Derived Types: Arrays, pointers, references.
  • User-defined Types: Classes, structs, unions, enums.
  • Void: Represents an absence of type.

C++ allows fine-grained control over data representation and memory, allowing programmers to define complex data structures and types.

31. Can You Describe the Differences Between a Class and a Struct in C++?

In C++, both classes and structs are used to define user-defined data types, but they differ in their default access specifiers:

  • Class: Members are private by default.
  • Struct: Members are public by default.

Usage: Classes are typically used for object-oriented design, while structs are used for simple data storage, especially when no need for encapsulation or inheritance exists.

32. What Is a Namespace in C++, and Why Is It Used?

namespace in C++ is a container that holds a set of identifiers and allows the organization of code into logical groups, preventing name conflicts. It’s especially useful in large projects where multiple libraries may have similarly named functions or variables.

Example:

namespace Math {
    int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
}

This allows for the organized grouping of functions, helping avoid conflicts in larger codebases.

33. What Is the Difference Between a Network and a Node in Computer Networking?

A network is a collection of interconnected devices that communicate with each other to share resources and data, such as computers, servers, and routers. 

A node, on the other hand, refers to any individual device or point within the network that can send, receive, or forward information, such as a computer, printer, or router.

Example: A router is a node in a network directing data traffic.

35. What Is the OSI Model, and Can You Explain Its Seven Layers?

The OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection) is a conceptual framework used to understand network interactions in seven layers:

  1. Physical Layer: Handles transmission of raw bits over the physical medium.
  2. Data Link Layer: Provides node-to-node data transfer and error detection.
  3. Network Layer: Determines the path for data transfer (e.g., IP addresses).
  4. Transport Layer: Ensures reliable data transfer between end systems (e.g., TCP).
  5. Session Layer: Manages sessions or connections between applications.
  6. Presentation Layer: Translates data between application and network formats.
  7. Application Layer: Provides end-user network services (e.g., HTTP, FTP).

36. What Distinguishes a Router from a Switch in Network Architecture?

A router operates at the network layer (Layer 3) and forwards data between different networks based on IP addresses, typically connecting local networks to the internet. 

A switch operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) and forwards data within the same network by using MAC addresses, facilitating communication between devices within a local area network (LAN).

  • Router: Connects different networks.
  • Switch: Connects devices within the same network.

37. What Is a Firewall in Network Security, and What Role Does It Play in Protecting Systems?

firewall is a security device or software that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. Its primary role is to create a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks, preventing unauthorized access and attacks.

Example: A firewall can block malicious traffic from the internet while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through.

38. How Is IP Addressing Used in Networking? Can You Explain Subnetting?

IP addressing is used to uniquely identify devices on a network, allowing them to communicate with each other. IP addresses are classified into public and private addresses. 

Subnetting is the process of dividing an IP network into smaller, more manageable sub-networks or subnets. This helps improve network performance and security by segmenting traffic.

Example: A network with the IP address 192.168.1.0/24 can be subnetted into smaller networks like 192.168.1.0/26.

39. How Is Exception Handling Implemented in Java? What Are Try, Catch, and Finally Blocks?

In Java, exception handling is implemented using the try, catch, and finally blocks.

  • Try block: Contains code that may throw an exception.
  • Catch block: Catches and handles the exception if it occurs.
  • Finally block: Contains code that will run regardless of whether an exception occurs or not, typically for cleanup tasks.

Example:

try {
    int result = 10 / 0;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
    System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
} finally {
    System.out.println("This will always run.");
}

40. What Is the Difference Between White-Box Testing and Black-Box Testing?

  • White-box Testing: Tests the internal workings of an application, requiring knowledge of the code, algorithms, and data structures used. It focuses on testing specific functions, paths, and logic.
  • Black-box Testing: Focuses on testing the application’s functionality based on input and output without knowledge of the internal code. It is concerned with verifying the system’s behavior from an end-user perspective.

Key Difference: White-box is internal, black-box is external testing.
