Infosys to hire 16,000 College graduates in March 2015



Indian Multinational software services provider Infosys is set to hire 16,000 freshers through campus recruitments in the fiscal year ending March 2015, although the March 2014 session may not be seeing as many recruitments. Executive chairmain Narayana Murthy mentioned Infosys is vying for large outsourcing contracts and is in the process of making offers during a lecture at Vivekanand Education Society in Mumbai. The expected success will help them attain stronger growth as India's second largest software services provider.

The IT industry hiring in India has seen a decline due to the global IT Industry recession but is seeing improvements. Campus recruitments however constitute only 40% (earlier 60%) of the workforce of IT Firms. A major disadvantage of hiring direct graduates is that they require months of training before they are able to actively begin work. One of India's largest IT services provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is planning to hire 25,000 fresher from campus recruitments in the March 2015 ending fiscal year.

"If India has to become as powerful in software, as China is in hardware, it will have to improve the quality of engineering education in India and work to create more high quality engineers," said Murthy at Vivekanad Education Society, Mumbai. The Software Services sector, currently a $108 Billion (Rs 6.7 lakh crore) industry in India, expects further growth in the coming year.
