The DXC Technology interview, in brief

DXC Technology is a global IT-services company that runs enterprise IT, applications, cloud, security and business-process work for large clients. Its graduate and early-career software-engineer hiring (often titled Associate Professional / Associate Software Engineer) follows a practical, breadth-first path: a proctored aptitude-plus-coding online test, one or two technical interviews across DSA and core CS fundamentals, and a managerial/HR discussion. DXC emphasises clean, correct day-to-day problem solving over competitive-programming puzzles, and looks for solid fundamentals in DBMS, operating systems, OOP and networks plus fluency in at least one language.

Apply or sit an on-campus/off-campus drive, then an online test on the Aspiring Minds (AMCAT) platform (aptitude, logical reasoning, English, computer-programming MCQs, an Automata Fix / coding section, and an essay), then technical interview(s) covering DSA, DBMS, OS, OOP, networks and your primary language, with a resume/project deep-dive, then an HR / managerial round on fit, logistics and expectations. End to end typically takes two to six weeks.

Interview rounds

  • Online test (AMCAT) Proctored, ~100 minutes
    Sections include Quantitative Aptitude (~16 Q), Logical Reasoning (~14 Q), English (~12 Q), Computer Programming MCQs (~12 Q), an Automata Fix / coding section (debug or 1–2 coding problems), and a WriteX essay. No negative marking; section-switching is not allowed.
  • Coding Within the online test and/or the technical interview
    One or two easy-to-medium coding problems in a language of your choice (arrays/strings, searching/sorting, recursion, basic data structures), or pseudocode/debug MCQs. In the interview, expect a few live easy-level questions with screen sharing.
  • Technical interview 1–2 rounds, 30–60 min each
    DSA and problem solving, DBMS (SQL joins, normalization, ACID), operating systems (process/thread, deadlock, scheduling, paging), OOP (four pillars, overloading vs overriding), computer networks (TCP vs UDP, OSI layers), your primary language, and a resume/project discussion. Cloud/enterprise topics and APIs can be a bonus.
  • HR / managerial 20–40 min
    Behavioural and cultural fit — strengths/weaknesses, why DXC, adaptability, relocation/shift willingness, and compensation expectations.

Coding & DSA topics

Arrays & strings (reversal, anagrams, frequency counts, second-largest)Pattern printing & number problemsSearching & sortingRecursionLinked lists, stacks & queuesHash mapsBasic treesPseudocode / debug (Automata Fix) reasoningTime & space complexity

System design

Not heavily weighted for freshers. Expect low-level / object-oriented design (a library, parking lot, ATM, rate limiter) with a clean class model and SOLID; experienced candidates may get a moderate system-design or a simple cloud/enterprise-integration prompt.

Behavioural round

HR and managerial rounds probe why DXC, strengths and weaknesses, how you handle change and pressure, teamwork and conflict, and logistics (relocation, shifts, notice). Use specific STAR examples with your own contribution rather than generic claims.

Representative question categories

Patterns in DXC Technology’s style — not verbatim proprietary questions.

  • Coding & DSAReverse the words in a sentence in place and state the time and space complexity.
  • DBMS / SQLWrite a query to find the second-highest salary, and explain the difference between an INNER and a LEFT JOIN.
  • Operating systemsWhat is a deadlock, what are its four necessary conditions, and how would you prevent one?
  • OOPExplain method overloading vs overriding with an example from a language you know.
  • NetworkingWalk through what happens, layer by layer, when you type a URL and press Enter.
  • Aptitude / logical reasoningA work-and-time or probability problem solved under a 60-second budget.
  • Behavioural / HRTell me about a project you owned end to end and a hard technical decision you made — and why DXC?

How to prepare

Do

  • Practise quantitative and logical-reasoning aptitude under time pressure — the AMCAT round is tight and pacing matters.
  • Be genuinely comfortable in one language and know its OOP features with real examples from your own code.
  • Rehearse core DBMS out loud: joins, normalization, keys, ACID — and be ready to write a SQL query.
  • Solve easy-to-medium DSA cleanly and always state time/space complexity; DXC values correct, readable solutions over exotic tricks.
  • Prepare an Automata-Fix-style debug mindset: read given code carefully and fix the logic, not just the syntax.
  • Know your resume end to end — every project can trigger a deep-dive.
  • Have a crisp, specific answer for “why DXC?” tied to IT services, cloud modernisation, or enterprise work.

Avoid

  • Running out of time on the aptitude section by over-investing in early questions.
  • Memorising definitions of OS/DBMS/OOP concepts without being able to apply them to a scenario.
  • Fixing only the syntax in a debug question while missing the underlying logic error.
  • Coding before clarifying the problem or checking edge cases.
  • Claiming skills on the resume that collapse under a project deep-dive.
  • Speaking only in “we” with no identifiable personal contribution in behavioural answers.
  • Treating the HR round as a formality and being vague about “why DXC” or logistics.

Who can apply

Typically a BE/BTech/MCA/MSc (CS/IT and allied branches), often with a minimum aggregate (commonly ~60% or 6.0–6.5 CGPA and no active backlogs). Criteria vary by drive and geography — confirm on the official posting.

DXC Technology interview FAQ

What platform does DXC use for the online test?
DXC has commonly used the Aspiring Minds (AMCAT) platform, a proctored test of about 100 minutes covering aptitude, logical reasoning, English, computer-programming MCQs, an Automata Fix / coding section, and a WriteX essay. Format can vary by drive and year.
Is the coding round hard?
Generally easy-to-medium and practical. Expect one or two problems solvable in a language of your choice, or pseudocode/debug questions. DXC favours clean, correct, day-to-day solutions over competitive-programming puzzles.
What should I focus on for the technical interview?
Core CS fundamentals across DBMS, OS, OOP and networks, plus DSA and deep knowledge of your primary language. Know your resume and projects thoroughly; APIs, cloud and enterprise topics are a bonus.
Is there negative marking?
The AMCAT-style online test is typically without negative marking, but you usually cannot switch back between sections, so pace each section carefully. Confirm on the day.
How many rounds are there and how long does it take?
Usually an online test, one to two technical interviews, and an HR/managerial round. End to end typically runs two to six weeks depending on the drive.
