And the good news has arrived. TCS will start to call freshers from this quarter itself.

Discretionary spending from clients is still under pressure and discretionary projects are sporadic, according to N. Chandrasekaran, Executive Director and COO, TCS. Discretionary spends are those that IT decision-makers in client companies decide on a continuous basis, using their discretion, as opposed to IT budgets for their companies fixed once a year.
In their official site TCS said:
* 24,885 campus offer were made in FY09. They would start joining us from Q2 onwards.
* Campus visits in FY10 would start in Q4 when students are in their last semester.
Though the results may not be mind-blowing, but surely a very comfortable one and something which will assure freshers and the employees alike of a stable future. With the 2010 batch of students to be recruited from January 2010 onwards, it surely is a great news for the 2009 batch whose joinings will start in Q2 as their anxious waiting days are sure to become lot more calm now!
