Company Previous Year Coding Questions (PYQs): Complete Campus Placement Guide 2026
How to use company previous year coding question papers for TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Zoho, Google, and 60+ firms — OA practice, hiring process, and mock interview tips.
Previous year coding questions (PYQs) are the fastest way to understand what a company's OA and coding rounds actually ask — if you practice them under time pressure and pair them with speaking mocks.
What are company previous year coding questions?
Company PYQs are coding problems and online assessment (OA) patterns reported by real candidates from campus drives, off-campus hirings, and hiring challenges. They are not unofficial dumps of every secret question — they are a practical map of difficulty, topics, and round structure.
On Apply, the Company PYQs Library covers 64+ product, IT services, and BFSI companies — including TCS CodeVita, Infosys SP/DSE, Amazon OA, Zoho, Flipkart Grid, Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Deloitte — with links to detailed previous year question guides.
How to study a previous year question paper for placements
Start with the hiring process section before jumping into problems. Know whether the company uses an aptitude screen, OA coding, technical interviews, or HR culture rounds.
Then solve OA questions under a 60–90 minute timer. Attempt each problem first; only open approach hints after you are stuck for a real attempt. Track weak topics (arrays, graphs, DP, strings) across companies.
Keep a short list of three target companies. Repeat their PYQs weekly instead of randomly browsing every company guide once.
Best PYQs for Indian campus placements
IT services: start with TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Capgemini if you are aiming at volume hiring.
Product and startups: Amazon, Flipkart, Zoho, PhonePe, Razorpay, and Microsoft-style OA patterns emphasize DSA clarity and timed coding.
BFSI / consulting: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Deloitte, and American Express often combine coding with analytical thinking — use their PYQ guides plus behavioral prep.
Combine PYQs with AI mock interviews
Silent LeetCode practice is not enough. After you finish a company PYQs set, open Apply's AI mock interview for the same company and role. Enable coding questions at matching difficulty and speak your answers aloud.
This closes the gap between knowing a solution and explaining it under interview pressure — the exact skill campus recruiters test.
