HackWithInfy

What it is

HackWithInfy is Infosys's national coding contest aimed at engineering students and recent graduates, run each year on the HackerEarth platform. It is a pure coding-skill competition rather than a build-a-product hackathon: the qualifying round is a timed problem-solving sprint, and only a small top slice advances to the finale.

Rounds

1. 01. Registration

   Free registration on the Infosys careers portal / InfyTQ platform.

2. 02. Round 1: online coding round

   A timed round on HackerEarth — recent editions required solving roughly 1.5 of 3 problems within 3 hours to advance, out of a pool that has run to tens of thousands of registrants.

3. 03. Grand finale

   Top scorers (recent editions: around the top 100) compete in a finale, historically run as a multi-hour coding round.

4. 04. SP+/offer track

   Strong finalists may be routed into an interview track for a pre-placement interview and niche technical role offers.

Who can enter

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech students, typically from the current and adjacent graduating-year batches (recent editions targeted 2024–2026 graduates — confirm the current year's exact window)
• Minimum age 18 at the time of registration
• No official CGPA/percentage cutoff has historically been enforced
• Completely free to enter

What you actually get

Finalists get a pre-placement interview (PPI) opportunity and a shot at niche technical/internship roles at Infosys, plus cash prizes for the top performers. For most participants the realistic value is the competitive-programming practice and the placement-season resume line.

Frequently asked questions

B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech students who are at least 18, generally from the current and adjacent graduating-year batches. There's historically been no official CGPA cutoff. Always confirm the current edition's exact eligible graduating years before registering.

Is HackWithInfy a hackathon or a coding contest?+−

It's a coding contest, not a build-a-product hackathon — the qualifying round is a timed problem-solving sprint on HackerEarth, closer in format to a competitive-programming contest than a team hackathon.
