 "Infosys Finally Confirms Joining Dates for 1,000 Long-Waiting Graduates")
After more than two years of delays, Infosys has confirmed joining dates for over 1,000 engineering graduates who were left in limbo since receiving their offer letters. These graduates will officially start their roles on October 7, 2024, at the company’s Mysore location. This announcement comes as a relief to many, particularly those from the April 2022 batch, who have been anxious about their job prospects. The situation has drawn attention from the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), which pushed for clarity and accountability from Infosys. The graduates had initially received offers for roles with annual packages ranging from Rs 3.2 to 3.7 lakh, and NITES warns of potential protests if the company fails to uphold its commitment.
Title: Infosys Finally Confirms Joining Dates for Delayed Engineering Graduates
Since April 2022, many engineering graduates who received offer letters from Infosys have faced uncertainty regarding their onboarding. After a long wait, more than 1,000 of these graduates received confirmation emails from Infosys, informing them that their joining date has been set for October 7, 2024. This announcement is a significant relief for those who have been anxious about their job prospects.
The confirmation came after over two years of delays, during which graduates engaged in two rounds of pre-training but received little clarity on their future with the company. Harpreet Singh Saluja, president of the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), expressed delight at the news. He emphasized the importance of this victory for the graduates and the union, highlighting their commitment to accountability in the face of such delays.
However, the situation remains tense. Saluja stated that the union would be vigilant in ensuring that Infosys honors this commitment. Should the company fail to adhere to the scheduled joining date, they are prepared to organize protests outside the Infosys office.
The delays have particularly affected software engineers, as around 2,000 graduates from the April 2022 batch faced uncertainties regarding their roles as system engineers and digital system engineers. Despite the challenges, their annual compensation packages range from Rs 3.2 to 3.7 lakh, providing some solace during this difficult period.
As the October 7 date approaches, many hope this marks the end of their long wait and a fresh start in their professional journeys with Infosys.
