A blank mind in an interview is not the end of it — panels score how you think, not just what you know. This guide gives a five-step recovery loop: buy time, clarify, state what you do know, build a simple solution, and think out loud.

That opening question is not an invitation to retell your life story — it is a test of whether you can summarise your skills and fit in 90 seconds. This guide builds that answer with a present-past-future structure, sample scripts for freshers and experienced developers, and the mistakes to avoid.

Clearing the technical rounds does not finish the interview — the HR round tests communication, cultural fit and stability, and one red flag can end it. This guide explains what panels actually score, gives structured answers for the usual questions, and covers the five mistakes freshers keep making.

The technical and HR rounds, question by question — what Infosys panels commonly ask freshers, and how to prepare answers that hold up under follow-ups.
