Big four IT companies raise fresher hiring targets

India’s top four IT services companies will add more than the estimated 120,000 freshers this year, on strong demand across sectors and to offset increased attrition rates.

The big four — Tata Consultancy Services (TCS NSE 0.99 %), Infosys NSE 4.45 %, Wipro NSE 0.21 % and HCL — have hiked their projections for hiring of freshers from the first quarter and are cumulatively likely to add more than 160,000 people.
