Firing and hiring of 2oo8 campus recruits

Campus joinies of 2008  

TCS

The best company for a fresher , has recruited most of there students . They had informed tentative dates as january  in august 2008 and stuck to there dates .

Infosys

Always great to be with this company , their value for customers and employees are great  . They had called the batches in september and their training is almost over.

CTS

Surprised everyone by there company results this year . CTS has the best results this year beating infy and tcs by a large gap . Has started recruiting and is doing it in batches . My college students went in october.

Mphasis EDS

They were the last one to come to campus in my college , but they have given joinings to all my college students . some went in december and the rest in jan . Again like CTS they had good results this year.

Wipro

Have given tentative dates in the month of january and march , and heard from my friends that they have started calling  january batches , but they may differ from there calling by a month , like march batch will be called in april .Wipro recruits can be assured that they will get their calls before june 2009. SSn college students have got their training call on feb 18 in bangalore

Caritor(keane)

No idea is the reply of the company’s HR , no tentative dates or anything of that sort . Guys in our college have started to look at some other jobs.hope they will call by june 2009.

Accenture

No intimation , similar to caritor , but students say they will be called up soon .

HCL

And here comes the big daddy of all . All those who are placed in this company are having the tuffest time of all . The thing is they started elearning(home based training) , split into 3 phases by the month of august which carried on for 3-4 months . After that there is a practical training(4th phase) for which , the student is supposed to pay 23000 rs and join a course at a center said by HCL, a center like NIIT , take a certification as said by HCL ,like CCNA,MCP . IF he never clears the certification in the first attempt he has to pay 11000 rs for his second attempt . After certified he is supposed to take a exit test done by HCL. if he clears the exit test , he is in and his 23000 rs(only the first attempt) will be given back . If he fails to clear either the certification nor the exit test , he is out and the 23000 is not paid. There are batches who passed there exit test and still waiting for joining more than 3 months . For some the elearning process is yet to start , for some it is done till 2nd phase, for some till 3rd phases , for some till 4th phase . Campus mails are not replied , the automated reply that they get is , your training is in batches and it will be informed , please tune to your mail box regularly . This is the reply since august that they get .Hope these guys get in .
