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!
