Infosys skipping college hiring this year- Grapevine

- Nearly 2,000 freshers offered positions by Infosys in 2022 are still waiting to be onboarded, according to affected individuals who spoke to Moneycontrol.
- These roles are for System Engineers and Digital Specialist Engineers, with pre-training sessions conducted as recently as August 19.
- Many candidates have not received credentials to log in to the online portal for pre-training sessions, which were to begin on August 19.
- Pune-based IT employee union NITES has requested the Ministry of Labour & Employment to investigate Infosys for alleged 'exploitation and unprofessional treatment' of these graduates.
- Infosys had hired over 50,000 freshers in FY 2022-23, which plunged to nearly 11,900 in FY 2023-24, amid fears of a looming recession and reduced discretionary spending in major markets.

TCS says workforce down by 6333; Infy head count down by 7250 & HCL Tech’s down by 2299. Not good news from an employment angle.

The stupidity and arrogance of some leaders in some companies to use colleges as filter criteria for what is clearly irrelevant for the role. 

Mostly these idiots end up fucking up company after company creating these neo-casteist groups sucking off and living off each other.

This identity based hiring is the start of corporate politics. I still don’t understand how difficult it is for fucking idiots to understand that while hiring for most roles you have to encourage diverse backgrounds at the start of the process to help you hire the right candidate for the long term, specially in a startup. 

PS I’m not against preferring candidates from certain colleges if it’s relevant. What i do hate is this herd behaviour of trying to hire only from your alumni the moment you are given leadership roles.

It must be such shitty experience to work under idiots like these if you are not from their alumni colleges because their biases play into all evaluations they do about their teams.

This is pretty common, has been like that for ages. It’s their company and their rules. You also have the freedom to NOT apply. Maybe they have had better experiences with candidates from top tier universities. Remember getting into most tier 1 colleges is itself difficult and only top talent make it. Also get better academic infrastructure, exposure to alumni networks, etc. So there are high chances they will do well. 
  
 Doesn’t mean that candidates from non-tier1 universities can’t excel. Some can be equally good or even better. Maybe these guys don’t want to take a chance with this role.

Lead Consultant

Hello I'm from a tier 3 college from India (currently sem 4 btech)
I currently have 3 backlogs from first year as i messed up and none from then but gpa was quite low currently 6.2 (currently doing 1 backlog)
And JP Morgan came for my college and the minimum requirements is 7.5gpa and no backlogs
Can someone suggest me if u have any backlogs how u same across it and solved it.. all my friends are eligible  which makes me kinda sad 
If everything goes wrong maybe I'll try to into indie game dev 
But for now i feel like I have to go into market and then start omw that's why 🥲

Backlog affects help

Roughly 2.5% of the workforce. Are there any details on teams and geographies impacted?

What does unemployment around you look like? Or if not around us, for people trying to come out of Tier 2/3 towns. These mass recruiters (behemoths like Capgmeni & Cognizant + TCS Infosys) are actually the gateway for many into a city life. In the absence of it, it's scary to think what they're up to.

What happens to those 1.5L students/professionals? Scares me everyday.

We probably will see an unprecedented economic divide in this country going forward if the unemployment rate stays this high. 
 And we know for a fact the government has tried to suppress this number to paint a rosy picture

For the coming cycle, are Google and Microsoft planning to hire interns or FT freshers from on-campus recruitment? Microsoft did a aggressive intern hiring last time. Google went on freeze quite early on. Have things changed in terms of hiring interns and freshers?

How are things at Google and Microsoft?

Every other guy I see these days is joining JP Morgan/wells Fargo/HSBC/Citi etc.

Seems kind of weird.
Not to mention insane hiring leads to layoffs as we know....
