How the test works

Reported

This page is about Sparkplug, Walmart's summer internship for pre-final-year students, because it is the only Walmart test with an official description (its 2025 listing on Unstop, for the 2026 batch). The stipend there was Rs 1.0 to 1.1 lakh a month; no pay for final-year campus hiring is published. For the 2026 cycle (2027 batch, tests in Nov 2025) the Unstop page could not be read, and one summary reports 30 MCQs, one coding round, a 7.0 CGPA, CSE, AI/ML and Data Science branches only, no active backlogs and 24 colleges; those details come from that single source. Profile verification follows the tests and no interview is reported. Walmart also hires final-year SDEs on campus through a separate online assessment (reported on HirePro in 2024: CS MCQs plus 2 easy-medium coding problems, 75 to 90 minutes, from candidate accounts), then technical and managerial or HR interviews. The next Sparkplug cycle is expected around Oct to Nov 2026 but is not confirmed.
