Hiring plans include TCS recruiting 40,000 freshers, Infosys hiring 15,000-20,000, and Wipro aiming for 10,000-12,000 freshers this financial year.
After a year-long hiatus, Indian IT companies have restarted campus recruitment drives, signaling a recovery in the industry. This renewed focus on campus hiring is driven by increasing demand for specialized tech talent.
Major IT firms have already begun visiting campuses for initial placements, seeking skilled programmers and digital specialists in emerging technologies. Salaries for these specialized roles are significantly higher than entry-level positions, ranging from Rs. 6 to 9 lakh.
The selection process has become more rigorous, with higher cut-off scores and emphasis on specialized skills and certifications. Companies are also moving beyond traditional coding tests, evaluating social media profiles and relevant certifications to assess candidates.
This resurgence of campus recruitment and focus on high-demand skills suggests a promising employment outlook for recent engineering graduates, particularly those with specialized knowledge in emerging technologies. With companies like Wipro returning to campus recruitment after a four-quarter break, the job market is looking up for fresh graduates.
