IT companies kick-start campus hiring, plan to recruit 2.5 lakh

CHENNAI: Tech titans have kick-started their campus recruitment process. On plans are to recruit nearly 2.5 lakh engineering graduates from across the countrys campuses this year. Last year, offers were made to nearly 2 lakh students. Campus recruitment, which usually happens in the last semester, has been advanced to the seventh semester this year. Consequently, tech companies have started visiting campuses in the past few days and have started issuing offer letters. TCS has issued offer letters to 702 students of Thiagarajar College of Engineering in Madurai, 515 students of Velammal Group of institutions, 500 of Sairam Group of Colleges and 645 of RMK Group of Instuitutions, all in Tamil Nadu. Cognizant has offered jobs to 807 students of Anna Universitys Guindy campus, Chennai, and 703 to students from PSG College in Coimbatore. Cognizant also offered jobs to 500 students of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi. Accenture has signed offer letters for 417 candidates from Sona College in Salem. Wipro has offered job letters to nearly 700 students of Amity. When we saw the situation created by the US debt deal we thought it would impact placements. But it has not reflected in the placements in our college. It has been better than last year, with 642 students being recruited this year while TCS absorbed 477 of our students in 2010, said Sivagnana Prabhu, head of training and corporate affairs, RMK Group of Institutions. The students are usually asked to join around July or August. Our students have not faced delays in previous years, so we dont expect them to happen this year either, he said. Andhra Pradesh leads the supply side of students with nearly 2 lakh a year, followed by Tamil Nadu with a 1.8 lakh students. Karnataka and Maharashtra supply about 80,000 students a year to the job pool. Most of the companies were not willing to confirm the offer letters or their recruitment plans citing confidentiality.
