TCS Campus Recruitments 2012 : 12,500 More Students Will Be Hired
It'd be interesting to know how many of these hires so far have been actually joined, how many have been trained and how many of these have been actually allotted to various projects. Lot of industry insiders opine that the big companies hire engineering students in bulk but don't have enough projects for them; which makes them sit 'on bench' for long.
Being 'On Bench' isn't very good at the start of career, because if you're idle (not allotted to project) then it's reflected on your resume.
