HackWithInfy 2027 — what to expect
Infosys has not announced the 2027 edition. Based on the last two cycles, students graduating in 2028 should expect registration to open in January–February 2027 through their placement cell, Round 1 in March–April 2027 and the finale later in the year. Start preparing now — the syllabus does not change.
How to not miss it
- Tell your TPO in December that you want the college enrolled; the survey form goes to placement officers first.
- Follow Infosys Careers on LinkedIn and subscribe to the HackWithInfy YouTube playlist — the launch is announced there.
- Register in the first week; mock-test access and Level Up sessions start soon after.
