Infosys campus hiring for 2026 runs through a single gate: the InfyTQ certification. Before an interviewer reads your resume or a recruiter reviews your profile, you need to pass the InfyTQ online test on Java or Python fundamentals and DBMS concepts. Only certified candidates advance to the technical interview round. Your resume does not rescue you from a failed InfyTQ, and a strong InfyTQ does not make a weak resume irrelevant.
Both matter. This guide focuses on the resume half of that equation.
The academic cutoffs are strict
Infosys requires 60% in both Class 10 and Class 12, and 68% or higher in graduation with no active backlogs. The graduation bar is meaningfully higher than the 10/12 requirement, and it catches candidates who assume the thresholds are uniform.
Your resume should state percentages or CGPA clearly and consistently. Infosys does not use a third-party ATS for campus hiring (applications go through the InfyTQ portal directly), but the recruiter reviewing your profile post-certification will check your academic credentials against these thresholds. A clear, accurate education section removes friction.
The two tracks: Systems Engineer and Power Programmer
Most campus hires join as Systems Engineer generalists. These roles involve Java or Python development, SQL, and structured training via Infosys's onboarding programs. The resume for this track should demonstrate working fundamentals: a few solid projects, clean code structure, and comfort with databases.
Power Programmer is the elite track for top InfyTQ scorers. It comes with a higher salary band and expects a meaningfully stronger technical profile. If you are targeting Power Programmer consideration, your resume needs to reflect genuine coding depth, not just exposure. Full projects with documented technical decisions, algorithm work, or any competitive programming background all strengthen the case.
Do not write a generic resume and hope for the best. Decide which track you are aiming for and build the document to match. This targeted approach also applies to other major recruiters like TCS, where specific track alignment is equally important.
What the technical interviewer is actually looking for
Infosys technical interviews probe fundamentals. Interviewers frequently ask candidates to explain projects in depth, write code on the spot, and answer DBMS theory questions. Your resume is the map they use to explore.
This means every project you list should be one you understand end to end. If you built a Java web application with a MySQL backend, you should be ready to discuss connection pooling, query structure, and what breaks under load. If you built a Python data pipeline, be ready to explain the transformation logic and the edge cases you handled.
A weak project entry: "Developed a student management system."
A strong one: "Built a student records system in Java with JDBC and MySQL; implemented CRUD operations with input validation and transaction rollback on errors; documented the schema and tested with boundary data."
The second version is not padded. It is specific enough to be questioned, which is exactly the point. Using strong resume action verbs by role helps communicate these technical contributions clearly.
Format: clean, one page, PDF or DOCX accepted
Unlike TCS, Infosys accepts both PDF and DOCX through the InfyTQ portal. That said, a clean single-column PDF is the safest choice. Avoid multi-column layouts, tables used for structure, or heavy formatting. The recruiter reviewing your profile post-certification is looking for a clear summary of your skills and projects, not a design showcase.
Run your resume through ResumeGrade before uploading. If the parser has trouble reading your file, the recruiter's system likely will too. Structural issues are easier to fix before submission than after.
Skills: Java or Python, SQL, and whatever else you can defend
Infosys technical interviews focus most heavily on Java or Python (whichever you certified in), DBMS fundamentals, and basic data structures. Build your skills section around depth in one language rather than surface coverage of many.
For Power Programmer consideration, any evidence of stronger algorithmic thinking helps: competitive programming ratings, DSA projects, or coursework in algorithms and complexity. Keep the skills section honest. If you list Spring Boot, expect questions about it. If you list Redis or Kafka, expect to explain what problem they solve and when you would not use them.
Use ResumeGrade JD alignment on the actual Infosys posting you are targeting. The alignment tool shows where your resume misses keywords or concepts present in the job description, so you can add coverage where you genuinely have it.

One thing most candidates skip
Infosys interviewers often ask candidates to explain what their project does before asking technical questions. Candidates who list vague project names ("Project X," "Mini Project") lose time explaining context they should have communicated in the resume itself. Name your project clearly and add one sentence of context in the first bullet: what problem it solves and for whom. The rest of the bullets can go deep on implementation.
Before you submit, run your resume through ResumeGrade for rubric scoring and feedback, then paste your target Infosys JD for alignment. The two together tell you whether your document is structurally sound and whether it actually matches the role.
