Infosys keeps its word, absorbs all offered jobs
Monday,09 March 2009:Bangalore: Infosys Technologies, India`s second largest software services provider by revenue, has kept its word to last year engineering graduates. The company has completed absorbing all 20,000 engineering students who graduated last year and to whom it had made job offers on campus, reported mint daily.
However, the induction process was delayed by several months because of the global economic crisis that deepened last year.
Infosys inducted the new graduates in batches into its training program which started June 2008 and finished the process by the end of February, company officials said. Typically, companies recruit engineering students in the November-January period through the campus placement process.
Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services, the country�s biggest software services provider, and No. 3 Wipro Technologies are yet to complete the induction process although they have taken on board most of the students to whom they made offers.
Last year media was inundated with reports of many technology firms delaying the joining date of students to whom they made offers in the period running from late 2007 to early 2008 because they had fewer new projects to work on due to the recession.
Infosys was able to absorb all the students because it has a large centralized training centre in Mysore, according to Nandita Gurjar, senior vice-president and global human resources head at the Bangalore-based company.
