You may have heard that Infosys recently opened a new position as a Digital Specialist Engineer where they recruit engineers who know to code in at least one programming language. If you want to know the package, role, and training period of a Digital Specialist Engineer then you are in the right place. A Digital Specialist Engineer is basically an updated version of a System engineer where instead of taking the test based on aptitude and verbal.
What is a Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE)?
Earlier Infosys only used to recruit engineering students from any specialization such as civil, mechanical, ECE, CSE, etc as system engineer trainees by the test which contains an aptitude test and verbal test without any coding test and then they trained them for approximately 6 months then they deploy them in their preferred location as System engineer under any domain which may or may not based on their training, they can even assign them in the testing or support role. On the other hand, now Infosys came up with a new position where they recruit students through coding, a competition known as HackWithinfy where they allow students to take part in this competition, and one who clears two rounds of them out of three will get the golden opportunity to got interview for DSE role at Infosys.
What is the Training Period for Digital Specialist Engineer?
Traditionally, the training period for a system engineer was 6 months which is further divided into two areas which are generic training for around 4 months which comprises python, SQL, etc, and stream training which focused more on any specific language such as Java or .Net, etc but in DSE role the period will be of around 2.5 months where generic training would be around for 5-10 days and stream training would be around
2 months.
What is the package of Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) role?
Obviously, if you are landing into Infosys by cracking the coding rounds and clearing the interview you will be paid more than the system engineers, currently, System Engineers get around a CTC of around 3.6 Lakh but DSE will get a CTC of around 5 lakh.
Under which horizontal does the Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) belong?
Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) is very different from system engineers hence they are under different verticals from System Engineers. SES people are put under Software Technology Group (STG).
What are the possible streams I can get during training as DSE?
For general System engineers, there are many but for DSE there are few such as Java, MERN Stack, MEAN Stack, and Big Data. There is an advantage that you’ll never have support or testing-based streams.
Advantages of DSE
- Shorter Training Duration: Your training will be less than half as compared to System Engineers.
- Always be in Development: You will never be assigned for testing or support job you will always doing programming even after getting the promotion
- Full-Stack developer: You will be trained as a full-Stack developer i.e. you have to work on both front-end and back-end.
Disadvantages of DSE
- Training pace will be fast
- They will treat you that you know everything

On 4th of February 2020 I received a mail. from Infosys in which I have to give my intent regarding the SES role. I want to know that does Infosys send mails like this or is this a fake mail.
You can verify it yourself by seeing the sender email address, if it is genuine email address should be with domain infosys.com and something like hackwithinfy@infosys.com or careers@infosys.com
when will be your interview?
