Mumbai, India
TATA Consultancy Services, Infosys and Wipro the IT biggies from India have put big brakes on the recruitment drives. Most of the IT companies were running amok in terms of recruitment for past few years in college campuses. But the current batch might have to struggle hard to find good positions in IT industry.
Now the focus turns to quality from quantity as far as IT industry is concerned. The most expected outcome is the companies will reduce the number of colleges they visit in the next few years. And within each college they will pick only the cream, gone are the days when able to utter few words in English would mean a position in one of these companies.
Strangely this will affect the Mechanical and Electronics (ECE) and other departments of the colleges compared to Computer Science and Information technlogy departments. These companies will prefer already trained candidates compared to the other departments.
The questions in interviews might tougher and interviews themselves will get longer as the number of positions will reduce. So tough times ahead for the present batch in College, but if you are good enough you will still have job.
