Infosys back on campuses to hire for niche profiles 31
Mint Mumbai
|February 12, 2024
Infosys Ltd is back on campuses this year, reversing its previous plan to skip colleges and bringing some solace to institutes seeing a drought of recruiters.
India's second-largest information technology (IT) services company is recruiting a select few specializing in cybersecurity and data mining-placement executives said. The compensation is higher than what fresh graduates are offered when hired in large numbers.
Colleges are relieved even by the small number of job offers.
On the other hand, analysts say, even when hiring for niche profiles, IT firms will prefer to recruit talent from campuses rather than the market as the latter will be costlier.
"Infosys is coming for a bigger segment. They are not coming for general hiring.
Infosys is hiring for a software engineer's position next month. There is no clarity on the number of freshers that they will take, but they will pay ₹9 lakh per annum and above," said Savitha Rani M., training and placement officer at Ramaiah Institute of Technology in Bengaluru.
