TCS likely to hire 40000 freshers

New Delhi, July 13, 2020.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plans to keep its India campus hiring this year at about the same level as last year (40,000), despite the sharp drop in revenue in the quarter ended June on account of the Covid-19 fallout.

It also plans to double its US campus hires to nearly 2,000 this fiscal, as part of an effort to reduce dependence on H-1B and L-1 work visas, which are becoming increasingly difficult to get.

The company has honoured all the 40,000 offers it made last  year.

The freshers will join beginning mid-July. 87% of the 40,000 are already active on their learning platform. Some 8,000 to 11,000 recruits undertake online assessments every week. Over 8,000 fresher recruits completed one or more digital certifications before joining. TCS is also in the process of hiring over 100  experienced professionals for different positions.
