PREPARATION STRATEGY:

The major difference between Infytq and Hackwithinfy is that Infytq is a certification exam whereas Hackwithinfy is a coding Hackathon. You need to be good at either Python/Java to get certified as an “Infosys Certified Software Programmer” via Infytq. For HackwithInfy you should have good coding skills to crack it.

Infosys offers three profiles through Infytq and Hackwithinfy.

1. SE(Systems Engineer)
