A Recent Disclosure by an NIT Student Unveils Tech Mahindra’s Salary Ranges and Hiring Conditions for Freshers and Supercoders in India.
Tech Mahindra, one of India’s prominent technology firms with a vast workforce across the country, regularly recruits numerous tech enthusiasts through college placements, bolstering its talent pool with fresh graduates. The compensation the company provides, particularly to engineering freshers hired during campus placements, has always piqued curiosity. Recently, an engineering student took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to divulge the salary offered by Tech Mahindra during their campus placements, shedding light on the two conditions accompanying Tech Mahindra’s offer letter.
Here’s the story in 5 points:
- A final-year B.Tech student from NIT Jalandhar posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing a screenshot of the terms and conditions presented by Tech Mahindra during the software engineer placement drive at their college. The post detailed the company’s salary packages and the terms for successful candidates who pass the placement interviews and join Tech Mahindra.
- The tweet revealed that Tech Mahindra is actively recruiting recent graduates for various office roles but with two significant conditions. First, candidates must be open to working in shifts that may span any time of day and any day of the week. Second, they are required to sign an indemnity bond worth Rs 1 lakh, committing to a mandatory two-year service period from their date of joining.
- Tech Mahindra clarifies that if a candidate is hired, they won’t receive a full-time offer letter immediately. Instead, they will undergo a standard three-month probation period before transitioning to a full-time employee.
- Regarding the salary package, Tech Mahindra offered an annual salary of Rs 3.25 lakh to candidates selected through the standard hiring process at this particular NIT. However, those who successfully passed the “supercoder” selection process during placements were offered Rs 5.5 lakh annually. It’s important to note that the authenticity of these details has not been independently verified by India Today Tech.
- Tech Mahindra’s salary offerings to job recipients have ignited a debate. Some critics have pointed out how Indian tech companies tend to underpay fresh graduates, while others have defended Tech Mahindra, acknowledging that companies also invest resources in training fresh graduates to bridge the skill gap.
