What to know before you apply

Infosys publishes no SE criteria we could read (its careers pages refused automated reading on 2 Nov 2026). The 2027-batch SE form reportedly circulated from late Sep 2026; the figures shown (60% in 10th and 12th, no active backlog at joining, a gap of up to 2 years) come from college notices and prep sites, not the form. Graduation CGPA: the 6.5 shown here earlier had no source; sites now report 6.0 or 60%, from a single line of reports, so no CGPA is asserted. Pay of ₹3.6 LPA is reported everywhere, not published by Infosys. Current off-campus postings advertise SP/DSE; SE hiring runs through campus and pool drives.
