Infosys fires 600 freshers who failed internal tests: Report

Hundreds of recent graduates working with Infosys have been terminated by the company after failing to clear its internal assessment tests for freshers, Business Today has reported, adding that as many as 600 such employees have been let go in recent months after failing the tests. The development at Infosys comes just days after fellow IT giant, Wipro, too, sacked recent graduates after they performed poorly in internal assessments Of these 600 freshers, as many as 208 were sacked two weeks ago in the latest round of the exercise, the report added. A company representative, on the other hand, countered this claim, telling Business Today failing the internal tests has always led to job cuts. The alleged layoffs at Infosys come just days after fellow IT major Wipro reportedly carried out a similar drive, resulting in around 450 entry-level staffers losing their jobs.
