Infosys, India’s multinational giant, issued over 1,000 offer letters to April 2022 freshers for the post of system engineer. More than 2000 graduates have been given offer letters for the post of system engineer and digital specialist roles in 2022, but their onboarding has been delayed. However, the company has resumed their onboarding process for system engineers and confirmed their joining date to be October 7 2024.
The company’s CEO, Salil Parekh, mentioned in the interview, “We changed some dates, but beyond that, everyone will join Infosys, and there is no change in that approach.” This statement comes after NITES’s (Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate) complaint, along with the media and public outcry by students against the delayed onboarding.
Harpreet Singh Saluja, president of NITES, said, “These young engineers, who have been waiting for nearly two years, now have a confirmed joining date of October 7, 2024. This is a huge win for NITES and all the students who stood strong in the face of uncertainty and delay. However, we remain vigilant… if Infosys fails to honour this commitment and breaches the joining date, we will not hesitate to organise a protest right in front of the Infosys office.“

These delays occurred because the major Indian IT companies, including Infosys, were struggling to grow their revenues in the subdued economic environment, which negatively impacted the jobs in India and around the globe.
