IT Recruitment: TCS, Infosys, HCL to hire 1 lakh plus fresh college graduates, check vacancies

New Delhi: Since the onset of the pandemic, the demand for IT services has grown manifold, leading to a surge in the hirings of fresh graduates. Top Indian IT firms such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies are on a hiring spree, planning to hire more than one lakh fresh college graduates. 

Some of the firms have reported their massive hiring plans in their recent earnings calls. Other companies such as Wipro and Tech Mahindra, along with global IT giants such as Capgemini are also planning to hire thousands of tech graduates in the coming months. However, the increasing attrition rates are going to play a key factor in how the hirings go for the tech giant.
