InfyTQ Interview Experience (Upgradation Test)

Hi, I am Manish KC from MAKAUT, WB. This article is in continuation with Infosys Certification Exam | InfyTQ.

I received a mail from Infosys on 2 August 2019 informing that I was shortlisted for InfyTQ upgrade test and got an invitation link with the mentioned date and time for technical assessment.

Technical Assessment 

The test was on 7 August 2019. There were 3 coding questions. I solved 1 question. The question which I had solved is given below:

Question: Inverting Bits

You are given an array of size n. Each element in the array is either 0 or 1. You have to perform exactly one operation. In one operation you need to select a subarray and invert all the bits in the subarray. The minimum size of the subarray to be selected is 1 and the maximum size is n.

Print the maximum number of 1s that you can get by doing the operation described above.

[Note: Inversion means changing a 0 to 1 and a 1 to 0]

Test Case:

Input:
6
1 0 0 1 0 1
Output:
5

The solution to the above question is given below:

n = int(input())    # Number of elements in the array

arr = list(map(int, input().split()))    # Array containing 0s and 1s

ones_count = []

# Use two for loops to creat subarrays
for i in range(n):
    for j in range(i + 1, n + 1):

        # arr[i:j] is a subarray
        # The main logic to calculate count of 1s
        ones_count.append(arr.count(1)+arr[i:j].count(0)-arr[i:j].count(1))

# finally, maximum of ones_count will be the required answer
print(max(ones_count))

Interview

I received a mail from Infosys on 13 August 2019 informing that I was selected for SES (System Engineer Specialist) PPI (Pre Placement Interview). On 19 August I received one more mail from Infosys about the date and time for PPI. It was scheduled on 26 August and the reporting time was at 9:00 AM.

On the day of interview i.e. 26 August, I went into the interview room, there were more than 10 different interview panels and each panel consists of only one interviewer i.e. only one interviewer was interviewing one interviewee at a time. The questions I was asked were as follows:

1. Introduce yourself.
2. What is Data Science?
3. What is Machine Learning?
4. What is Machine Learning Algorithm?
5. What was the process of Exam through which you came here?
6. What is the difference between Python and C++?

That’s all. I was asked only 6 questions. The interview duration was about 6 to 8 minutes.

Result

The result was announced on the same day in the evening time. At around 6:00 pm I was called and the head of the recruitment team said, “Congratulations Manish Kumar Chaudhary, you are offered the System Engineer Specialist role at Infosys”.
