Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 | Mainframe Developer | Bangalore — Apply Now

Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 – full job details

The Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 requisition for Mainframe Developer sits in the Application Development and Maintenance service line, based in Bangalore. Mainframe work at Infosys means supporting the core transaction systems of banks, insurers and airlines — the systems that process payments, policies and bookings and cannot be allowed to fail.

The listing accepts 0 to 4 years of experience, which puts freshers firmly in scope. If COBOL and JCL sound old-fashioned, note that these systems still run a large share of global banking and the engineers who understand them are getting harder to find. That scarcity is exactly why Infosys keeps hiring for this stack.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse user requirements and envision system features and functionality.
• Design, build and maintain efficient, reusable and reliable mainframe code, setting expectations and feature priorities.
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and recommend system solutions by weighing the advantages and disadvantages of custom development.
• Contribute to team meetings and troubleshoot development and production problems across multiple environments and operating platforms.
• Understand architecture requirements and ensure effective design, development, validation and support activities.
• Create database schemas that represent and support business processes.
• Implement automated testing platforms and unit tests.

Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 eligibility criteria

• Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Computer Applications, Master of Technology, Master of Science or Master of Computer Applications.
• 0 to 4 years of experience — freshers are eligible.
• Primary skills: Mainframes, COBOL, PL/1, CICS, JCL and DB2.
• Tools: IBM Rational suite — IDz, RDz, RBD and RTC.
• Solid understanding of object-oriented programming, and familiarity with design and architectural patterns.
• Experience with both external and embedded databases.
• Good verbal and written communication, including the ability to work effectively with remote teams.
• High flexibility to travel.

Preferred skills listed on the requisition include VS COBOL II, JCL, mainframe technologies generally, and Agile management tools. Infosys has not published a batch year restriction for this Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 opening.

Selection process & tips

Infosys lateral and off-campus hiring generally runs as an online application, a resume shortlist, an online assessment or technical screen, one or two technical interviews and an HR round. Interviews may be conducted virtually or in person.

If you have no mainframe exposure yet, do not skip this one — but do prepare. Learn what JCL actually does, understand the difference between a batch job and an online CICS transaction, and be able to read a simple COBOL program and explain the divisions. Free emulators such as Hercules and public z/OS learning resources let you practise without access to a real mainframe. Candidates who show they have taught themselves the basics stand out sharply from those who only list it as an interest.

Also brush up on SQL and DB2 fundamentals, since database work runs right through this Infosys Off Campus Drive 2026 role. Infosys warns candidates about recruitment fraud, so verify every communication against the official careers domain and never pay a fee.
