Amazon India hires freshers mainly through Amazon University Talent Acquisition, its flagship off-campus route for Software Development Engineer I (SDE I) roles across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Maharashtra and Delhi. Other fresher-friendly roles exist separately from SDE — Customer Service Associate (Delhi), SPS Support Associate (work from home, any graduate) and Transportation Specialist I – FTC (Bengaluru/Hyderabad ROC, 24/7 rotational shifts) — but this guide focuses on SDE I. No official vacancy count and no single official last date has been announced; hiring runs on a rolling basis through the year, so always check the official Amazon jobs portal.
Eligibility
SDE I requires a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field (BE/BTech, ME/MTech, MCA, MSc), with target batches of 2025 and 2026 per third-party listings. Deep CS fundamentals are essential: data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design and complexity analysis, in at least one core language (Java, C/C++, Python, Perl). A prior technical internship is a major advantage but not mandatory. No percentage cutoff was stated in the sources found — do not invent one. One Gurugram SDE-I Rewards listing asks for 0–24 months’ experience including 1+ year of non-internship software development experience, but that is a role-specific condition, not a general fresher rule.
Reported Salary
Salary figures are reported by third-party trackers, not from an official Amazon notification. SDE I off-campus is reported in the range of around ₹12–22 LPA, varying by role and location (sources disagree within that range). The Gurugram SDE-I Rewards role is estimated higher, at around ₹20–27 LPA. Non-tech roles are reported lower: Customer Service Associate around ₹3–4.5 LPA, SPS Support Associate around ₹4–5 LPA expected, and Transportation Specialist I around ₹2.4–4.5 LPA expected.
Selection Process
The reported process is: (1) online application and resume screening via the official jobs portal, (2) Online Assessment — 2 coding problems (DSA) plus a Work Style Assessment on Leadership Principles, (3) technical phone screen (45–60 minutes of coding), (4) virtual onsite “loop” — typically 2 coding rounds, 1 object-oriented design round and 1 behavioural/Bar Raiser round on Leadership Principles (STAR format), (5) team matching, then offer. The total timeline is reported at 3–8 weeks.
How to Apply
Apply through Amazon’s official jobs portal (amazon.jobs) — search SDE I or University Talent Acquisition roles. No official last date has been announced, so do not trust dates quoted by unofficial sites.
