Candidates waiting to join Wipro offered lower salary than original offer: Reports

According to reports, candidates, who were offered a package of ₹6.5 lakh per annum (PA) by Wipro, have now been asked if they would instead be okay with ₹3.5 lakh PA, 46% less than the original offer.

What happened?

Fresh graduates joining Wipro are given training under two programmes. Under ‘Turbo,’ they get ₹6.5 lakh a year, while under ‘Elite,’ they earn ₹3.5 lakh each year. Candidates, however, can jump from ‘Elite’ to ‘Turbo’; for this, they are trained under the Bengaluru-headquartered firm’s ‘Velocity’ programme.
