TCS hiring opens, invites applications from 2024 tech graduates

TCS recruitment drive: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has started its recruitment process for freshers for engineering graduates amidst widespread hiring freezes in the IT sector due to subdued demand. The company is accepting applications until April 10 and has scheduled tests for April 26, inviting candidates from the 2024 batches of BTech, BE, MCA, MSc, and MS, as indicated on its career page.

TCS is recruiting for three distinct categories—Ninja, Digital, and Prime—although the exact number of vacancies remains undisclosed.

According to reports, the Ninja category offers a package of Rs 3.36 lakhs per annum for various positions, while the Digital category provides Rs 7 lakhs per annum, and the Prime category offers an annual package ranging from Rs 9 to Rs 11.5 lakhs.

This recruitment drive is in line with statements made by TCS Chief HR Officer Milind Lakkad during the December 2023 earnings call, where he highlighted the enthusiasm among recent graduates to join TCS.

Additionally, TCS recently announced its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a launch partner for the AWS Generative AI (GenAI) Competency.
