Infosys relies heavily on campus recruitment for its intake of freshers.

Infosys campus recruitment for freshers in engineering institutes takes place from May to September while in management institutes campus recruitment takes place from December to March.
If your institute already has a tie-up with Infosys for campus recruitment, than get in touch with your placement coordinator to know when Infosys is coming for the next campus recruitment.
On the other hand, if Infosys has never visited your college for campus recruitment but you think that the college/student standard can impress Infosys HR to consider for campus recruitment than get in touch with Infosys at mail-id careersquery@infosys.com.
