According to data from TeamLease*, the Indian IT sector will hire 40% fewer freshers compared with FY23, when they onboarded 2,50,000 engineers. Usually, by August-September, the IT majors begin their campus placement processes but have been absent from campuses this placement season. Recently, many Indian tech-services outsourcing companies have halted the hiring of college graduates.

The company is actively expanding its campus recruitment programs to establish a presence in new colleges while concentrating on specific job roles, including sales, engineering, and business solutions.
