IT Major TCS to Hire 39,000 Freshers!

IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is going to hire around 39,000 freshers in FY 2021, said Global HR Chief Milind Lakkad.

Lakkad further said the company had inducted 30,000 graduates from various colleges this year and issued offer letters to the selected candidates who will have to appear for the TCS National Qualifier Test.

When asked about the impact of such massive hiring, Lakkad told it won't affect the existing employee structure. "Post the hiring of freshers, it becomes the company's obligation to provide employees with a relevant skill set so that they can fit in," said Lakkad.

Significantly, in October last year, TCS announced that it will double the salary of employees who prove to be 'Hot Talents' by qualifying in an advanced test the company is planning to roll out.

"The top people who took our national test, we are offering them another test. If they clear that test, we call them Hot Talent and they are offered double the salary," Lakkad said then.
