Infosys-the global IT giant is in news as the hiring season begins across India. The IT service exporter, is likely to make 13,000 campus offers to fresh engineering students.

Nandita Gurjar, senior VP, Infosys said that they have already started going to campuses in about 700 engineering colleges. Infosys had made 20,000 offers to engineering graduates for the 2009 fiscal, though only around 75-80 % of the students actually join the company.

New strategy implemented this year is to hire students who are in their final semester as against hiring students a year before they are graduated.

The campus placements this year did see a sea of change in terms of the compensation package, delaying the entry of students and in some cases putting them on a different stream of work.

According to the Infosys official, they would be closing the 2009 fiscal with around 18,000 freshers and 3,500 experienced hires. The same hiring numbers is likely for the coming fiscal.
