TCS has announced its recruitment plans for 2011-2012 and this is surely going to light up your day – it plans to go for a massive recruitment of 60,000 heads in FY 2011-2012, out of which it will recruit about 20,000 in this quarter (July-September) alone. I quote below TCS CEO MD N Chandresekaran in this regard:
"The company during second quarter is expected to hire 17,000 to 20,000 people, The company plans to hire about 60,000 people in the ongoing financial year (2011-12)..”
You can find the details of this news in Times of India article dated 14th July, 2011 This massive manpower requirement in TCS is because it is chasing 12 large deals in the US, UK and in Europe and additional deals in emerging markets.
Among the 60,000 to be hired, it is expected that bulk of the TCS recruitment (close to 55%) is going to be for freshers and hence this blog post is dedicated to tell you : How to apply to TCS as a fresher? Where is the TCS application form? What is the TCS eligibility criteria for freshers? What is the TCS selection process for freshers? In another blog article titled: TCS Placement papers & Interview Questions I would tell you how to prepare for the TCS selection process.
Bur before that let us know TCS as an organisation – since the knowledge of an organisation always helps to answer those questions in the HR interview.
What is TCS?
Established way back in 1968, Tata Consultancy Service is a pioneer, taking a lead role in establishing the Indian IT Industry. It is now one of the largest private sector employers in India with employee strength of over 2,00,000, having more than 142 branches in over 47 countries. TCS has a very good HR policy, because of which its employee sticks to it – it has one of the lowest attrition rates in the IT industry.
TCS posted 26.7 per cent rise in its net profit at Rs 2,415 crore for the first quarter of FY 2011-12.
