Just out of college, around 1,000 freshers have been offered a welcome gift by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) -- almost double the salary it normally pays. However, there was one condition, they had to clear a test.
Fresh graduates, with new-age digital skills, have been offered a starting salary of about Rs 6.5 lakh per annum. The entry-level salary of Indian engineers in the IT industry has been stuck at about Rs 3.5 lakh per annum for the past decade, a report in The Times of India said.
The selection of these candidates was based on a test focused on new areas in the digital world.
Not just this, from this year, candidates who perform exceedingly well in the company’s online National Qualifier Test (NQT), will also get an opportunity to take a shot at that digital skills-based examination, the report said.
Change in the recruitment procedure:
TCS, one of the biggest recruiters from Indian engineering institutes, usually visits accredited colleges to conduct a test followed by an interview. This process is going to be largely replaced by the NQT.
