IT major Infosys Technologies is likely to make 13,000 campus offers to fresh engineering graduates who are expected to join during the course of fiscal 2011.
Nandita Gurjar, Senior Vice President, Infosys said that they have already started going to campuses in about 700 engineering colleges. Infosys had made 20,000 offers to engineering graduates for the 2009 fiscal, though only around 75-80 percent of the students actually joined the company.
The Indian IT services industry has discontinued the earlier practice of selecting the students a year before they complete their graduation and is now visiting colleges in the final semester. According to the Infosys official, they would be closing the 2009 fiscal with around 18,000 freshers and 3,500 experienced hires and it is expected that the same hiring numbers are likely for the coming fiscal.
The compensation package for the students coming into Infosys from the next fiscal will be same as last year. The campus offers for the Indian IT industry had run into certain rough weather during the Financial Year 2009 with certain companies delaying the entry of these students and in some cases putting them on a different stream of work.
