Infosys Upholds High Standards with Recent Trainee Terminations

A Pattern of High Expectations

This marks the third such incident at the IT giant's Mysuru facility in recent months. Earlier in February, around 350 freshers were let go for similar reasons, followed by another 45 in March.

Support Measures for Affected Trainees

On a positive note, Infosys has announced support for the dismissed trainees, including one month's salary, a relieving letter, and access to a 12-week training programme aimed at preparing them for roles in the BPM sector. Collaborations with NIIT and UpGrad will further sponsor training programmes to enhance their employability.
