Infosys Faces Backlash Over Fresher Layoffs: Over 300 Let Go After Internal Tests
Infosys, a major player in India's IT sector, has recently laid off more than 300 freshly onboarded campus recruits from the 2022 engineering batch. Despite offering salaries between ₹3.2-3.7 lakh, these employees faced termination after failing corporate qualifying tests. While Infosys argues these assessments ensure high-quality talent, critics, including the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), accuse the company of altering tests and employing coercive tactics during separation. As the situation unfolds, labor activism in the tech sector intensifies, raising questions about corporate transparency and employee rights.
