Infosys AI Interview Round: What It Asks and How to Prepare

Picture an email from Infosys that lists your next step as a “Virtual AI interview,” with a link and a deadline but no description of the round. You search for what happens inside it and find forum threads full of people asking the same thing, with very few answers.

We couldn’t find an Infosys page that describes this round, so everything below is either reported by candidates or published by the software vendor that most likely runs it. Your invitation and the instructions on your screen outrank all of it. Within those limits, there’s enough to prepare well.

Candidates describe a main question, then a follow-up built from the answer

Earlier this year, a QA engineer working at Accenture posted on Fishbowl that Infosys had scheduled a Virtual AI interview and asked what it involved. The most specific reply came from a user listed as a System Engineer. They described a fully AI-run round with seven questions in their case, each followed by a follow-up based on what they had just said, and advised answering carefully.

An anonymous candidate for a software engineer role at Infosys Finacle reported the same pattern on PracHub for a June 2026 round. The AI asked a main question, then picked follow-ups from the previous answer. The candidate rated it hard, felt it tested technical grounding and reasoning in real time, and calls it their earliest round, which suggests more rounds followed.

Which software runs it is less certain. Another Fishbowl user asked whether Infosys uses Glider for this first stage, and nobody had replied when we checked. Glider AI’s own AI interview software page shows the Infosys logo in its strip of company logos and sells exactly this product: autonomous, AI-led video interviews. That makes Glider a reasonable guess, though Infosys hasn’t confirmed it anywhere we could find.

What Infosys does state, on its recruitment fraud alert page, is that its hiring process involves at least one interview, virtual or in person.

What the software is built to score

If your round does run on Glider, the vendor’s own pages describe the job it was built to do. Its AI video interview page says the system analyzes the job requirements, generates role-specific questions, asks follow-ups, and scores answers against a structured rubric. Glider’s May 2025 launch announcement says the interviewer evaluates communication, professionalism, and fluency in real time, then hands recruiters transcripts and skill reports.

Two practical points follow. If the round works as Glider describes, the job description is your syllabus, because it’s what the questions are generated from. And a recruiter will probably read a transcript or report of your answers before deciding whether a person talks to you, so answers that make sense on paper, with the main point in the first sentence, hold up better than answers that wander toward a point.

If you speak English with an accent and worry about how an automated scorer hears you, our post on interviewing with an accent covers what recent research found and what to ask the recruiter.

Your answer writes the next question

This is the part to prepare hardest for. When follow-ups come from your previous answer, every tool and number you mention becomes something you may have to defend. Say you led a Kafka migration, and the next question may be why Kafka, or what broke during cutover. Mention a tool you touched once, and you’ve picked your own next question badly.

So prepare in pairs. List each skill the job description asks for, and for each one write down a real example from your own work with one concrete detail, such as a number or a decision you made. Then write the two follow-ups you’d least like to hear about that example, and answer those as well. A switcher with five years of experience might do this for eight to ten skills. A fresher can do it for each project on the resume.

Rehearse out loud, on a timer. Aim for about a minute per main answer: the point, the example, the result. Answers rehearsed only in your head usually run long once spoken, and an AI interviewer won’t glance at the clock to hint that you should wrap up.

If a question is unclear, ask for it again instead of guessing. Glider’s interview page lists an AI Candidate Assistant that helps candidates clarify questions in real time. Whether it’s switched on for your round, the instructions will tell you.

Read the instructions screen as the rulebook

Glider’s help article for employers setting up an assessment shows that the hiring team edits the list of instructions candidates see, can require webcam access and screen sharing, and asks candidates to accept a disclaimer before they can continue. The rules for your round are the ones on your screen that day, whatever a forum thread says.

Glider’s proctoring page lists what its system can flag, including tab switches, copy-paste, external apps, looking away, multiple faces, multiple voices, and phone use. It says candidates are asked for permission first, and that the hiring team decides what’s acceptable. For an honest candidate, that becomes a short checklist:

• Take it in a quiet room with the door shut, since a family member talking nearby could register as a second voice.
• Use one screen unless the instructions say otherwise, and keep your phone out of reach.
• Close every app you don’t need, including notetakers and AI assistants, ExtraBrain among them.
• Test your camera, microphone, and connection a day before the deadline.

Follow Infosys’s stated rules for the round, and don’t run any tool that suggests answers while an AI interviewer is scoring you. Our own responsible-use guide asks the same of ExtraBrain users: use live AI help only where the rules of the process allow it.

Check that the invitation is real before you click anything. Infosys says its recruiters write from @infosys.com addresses (and warns that scammers can fake that domain), that it doesn’t request interviews over instant messaging apps, and that it never asks candidates for money. An interview request on WhatsApp, or any request for a fee, is a warning sign by Infosys’s own description, and the same page links a way for candidates in India to check whether an offer is genuine.

The human rounds will ask how you use AI

Expect the people after the AI round to be curious about AI too. A candidate with two years of experience posted on LeetCode in September about an Infosys interview with a human interviewer. Next to questions on project architecture, Python, authentication, SQL, and CI/CD came a whole block on AI-assisted development: whether they used AI tools, how, whether they copied generated code directly, and how they checked it.

Have an honest version of that answer ready. Name the tools you use at work, what you use them for, and how you verify their output before it ships. If you’re unsure how much to say, our guide to answering “Are you using AI?” has wording that neither dodges nor overshares.

One habit pays off here. Straight after the AI round, write down every question and follow-up you remember while it’s fresh. The next interviewer may pick up the same topics, and you’ll already know which of your answers felt thin.

Practice before the round, review after it

Practicing with an AI interviewer is already common in India. Info Edge, which runs Naukri, told investors in May that its AI-powered mock interviews are used by 1.5 million users monthly. What most practice skips is the review: you answer, the session ends, and you never see what you actually said.

That review is where ExtraBrain earns its place, as a practice tool. Run a mock round on your Mac or Windows PC, with a friend reading questions built from the job description or with you reading them aloud, and ExtraBrain’s live transcription captures your answers. Afterwards, open Session History to read the transcript and generate a summary. Quote one of your answers into chat and ask which follow-up an interviewer would ask next, then answer it out loud. Import your resume and project notes as reference documents so the practice stays tied to your real work. If a friend plays the interviewer, tell them you’re transcribing and get their agreement first.

The core app is free. Full recaps can need Pro, and the Job Search Pass is a one-time $29 for 90 days of it.

Tonight, open the job description, pick the skill you’re least sure of, and record a one-minute answer about it. Read the transcript, write the follow-up you’d most hate to hear, and answer that one too. That pair is the whole round in miniature.
