India's biggest IT giant, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is planning to hire as many as 40,000 freshers in Indian campus amid corona crisis.
Let us know about the eligibility, opportunity and strategy to get into TCS.
Crazy about TCS
TCS has campuses in 149 locations across 46 countries. TCS is at the forefront of domestic IT careers. The main reason for this is the perception that job security is available with TCS. As well as a good work environment, career growth opportunities attract talent. Hence, candidates are focusing on job placement in TCS while completing the courses.
Two methods
TCS selects candidates through Campus Placements, Off Campus Drives. The selection process for these two methods does not differ much in terms of syllabus. Competition is low on the campus placements system and high on the off-campus route. But, it must be said that the chances for campus drives are slim this year due to the corona. Candidates are required to register on the TCS official website for off-campus opportunities.
