Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), the country’s largest campus recruiter, is starting its placement drives later than usual after exams were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, but the hiring strategy will remain the same as last year, said a senior executive.
The IT major’s campus recruitment test, the 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, chief human resource officer at TCS, said in an interview.
While normally a part of the TNQT process is conducted across institutes and TCS iONcentres, 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.
