INFOSYS ESSAY WRITING ASSESSMENT
Good evening, everyone,
This is the assignment. Please read the instructions and follow as requested to the best of your
own abilities. The reason is simple, we believe the test is structured in such a manner that by
the time you reach the essay writing section, you would be exhausted as well as loosing out
on the mental bandwidth. In order to make sure that you aren’t found wanting during that
crucial period we would want you to start practising today. Given below are varied topics,
that we want you to start writing 160-200 words essays on in a given span of 10 mins.
Instructions:
1. The writing of these would be done on a laptop/keyboard not on a phone or with a
pen as it would defeat the purpose as most of us are not well-equipped when it comes to
typing and thinking at faster speeds, let alone under pressure situations
2. We would want you not to use Chat GPT or any other AI tools but try expressing
your own thoughts as during the exam, access to any tools would not be allowed
3. Remember, these are not the final topics, we believe these are varied in nature and
would allow you to think and express and make yourself equipped for any other topic
that would thrown at you during the assessment.
4. WE ARE NOT JUDGING YOU, WE ARE THERE TO HELP YOU, ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT!
5. Time yourself, remember the more honest you are, the better it would be for you to
express how we can get better and how we can help you.
The Topics:
1. Artificial Intelligence: A Boon or a Threat to Human Employment?
2. The Rise of Remote Work: Is the Office Losing its Relevance?
3. Climate Change and Corporate Responsibility: Who Should Bear the Cost?
4. Digital Privacy in the Age of Social Media: Myth or Reality?
5. The Future of Cashless Economies: Opportunities and Challenges.
6. Mental Health in the Modern Workplace: How Much Responsibility Lies with Employers?
