TCS Fresher Hiring May Touch 100,000 In FY22

The company has onboarded 77,000 freshers, which is higher than the earlier target of 55,000 in FY22 and much above the 40,000 hired in FY21.

I had said in the last quarter (Q3) that we would hire 34,000, but we ended up hiring that number that quarter itself.

While I do not have the number for Q4, what I can say is our intensity of hiring will continue, said Milind Lakkad, chief HR officer (CHRO).

TCS, in the first half of FY22 (Q1 and Q2), took on 43,000 freshers. In Q3, the company added 34,000, which takes the total to 77,000.

Analysts tracking the company said the company's lateral hiring too would be higher than in the last few quarters.
