Realistic Preparation Roadmap

Actionable milestones based on verified candidate feedback and recruiter evaluation trends.

1Infosys imposes strict sectional timing; you cannot navigate back to a completed section, so pace yourself strictly.
2Practice pseudocode tracing extensively: pay careful attention to 1-indexed vs 0-indexed arrays and bitwise operators (^, &, |).
3The puzzle solving section tests visual and numerical patterns; practice matrix and sequence grids regularly.
