IT firms intensify evaluation and assessment processes

BENGALURU: After two-and-a-half years’ wait, many campus recruits got their jobs in Infosys in October last year, but at least 490 of them from the 2022 batch were laid off last week from the Mysuru campus. Infosys in a statement said all freshers get three attempts to clear the assessment, failing which they will not be able to continue with the organisation.

However, a couple of trainees that this newspaper spoke to said it was a stringent assessment and that there was no mention of these three attempts in their offer letters. Have IT companies’ assessments changed over the years? No, say HR experts.
