TCS extends 25k offers

Tata Consultancy Services has issued 25,000 job offers to fresh graduates for fiscal year 2027, with any additional hiring tied to client demand. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) Chief executive K Krithivasan said the company had already made those offers and would decide on more campus recruitment based on how demand develops. The comment came days after Tata Consultancy Services reported results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) (tcs.com) Those results showed a mixed picture. Tata Consultancy Services said fiscal 2026 revenue was $30.0 billion, down 0.5% year on year, while annual contract value reached $40.7 billion and March-quarter contract wins were $12 billion. (tcs.com) The hiring signal matters because Tata Consultancy Services is India’s largest information-technology services employer. It ended March 2026 with 584,519 employees, down from 607,979 a year earlier, even as it said quarterly hiring picked up sequentially. (tcs.com) (techmonk.economictimes.indiatimes.com) Attrition also moved higher. Tata Consultancy Services said its information-technology services attrition rate rose to 13.7% in the March quarter, up from 13.0% in the previous quarter. (tcs.com) The broader hiring market in India has started to recover, but not evenly across technology. Naukri JobSpeak said white-collar hiring rose 9% year on year in March 2026, while information-technology hiring was flat and artificial-intelligence and machine-learning roles grew 37%. (naukri.com) That helps explain the caution in Tata Consultancy Services’ message on entry-level hiring. The company is still building its fresher pipeline for fiscal 2027, but it is leaving room to adjust if client spending does not accelerate. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) (tcs.com) Tata Consultancy Services also said it logged 69 million learning hours in fiscal 2026 and had more than 270,000 employees with higher proficiency in artificial intelligence and machine learning. For graduates waiting on joining dates, the next signal will be whether those large deal wins turn into enough delivery work to support more hiring. (tcs.com)
