TCS stay assured on freshers hiring and number of offers

According to a Mint report, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), is starting its campus placement drives later than usual as exams were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the number of offers will remain the same as last year 40,000.

Milind Lakkad – EVP and Global Head, Human Resources of TCS expects 17,000-20,000 freshers to join TCS by December from 2019-20 batches with the remaining joining over Q4FY21 and Q1FY22.

“TCS National Qualifier Test (TNQT), is among the most sought after, as it covers over 1,800 technical institutions. Around 40,000 candidates were hired last year. Hiring sentiment has been strong in the second quarter because of substantial business requirements,” Milind Lakkad said

Normally, TNQT process is conducted across institutes and TCSiON centres,but this time it will be virtual. The TCS iON examination platform for recruitment has been updated with tools for digital proctoring and plagiarism checks, among others. Most of the hiring is expected to be completed by December., Mint report says.

Milind Lakkad said, “The company has already initiated the virtual onboarding processes for those joining this year. “TNQT this year will start in October (instead of September), and the volume will be similar to last year. We don’t see any change in the requirement. The delay this year has largely been due to exams across the country being held up,”

The company has seen strong demand on the lateral hiring front as well, which was briefly suspended during Q4 FY20 due to the pandemic. TCS, however, has noted a massive demand for resources, even during these times.

“We have seen among the largest hiring requirements come in during this quarter (Q2 FY21), compared to the last three quarters. So, the business requirement has been very strong,” said Lakkad

This is in addition to our existing talent development initiatives through which we have upskilled around 15,000 people over two quarters and these business requirements are global and not limited to any region, he said.
