NEW DELHI: The country’s IT & ITeS industry would generate as many as 1.20 lakh jobs this year even as campus hiring is likely to remain subdued, experts say.
While there has been a drop in campus hiring in IT sector as the industry reels under a economic downturn in the West, jobs added this year will see large hiring from the market.
“Last year, the campus hiring numbers had dipped from the normal and this year, it is not going to be any different. We estimate that there will be around 1,20,000 jobs created this year,” talent assessment company Merit Trac Head of Innovation and Corporate Business Rajeev Menon said.
BANGALORE: Indian IT companies have a better track record of creating jobs in the US over the past several years compared to their American peers likeIBM and Accenture. Yet the proposed new US immigration bill seeks to penalize Indian IT and benefit American IT companies, notes a recent report by brokerage firm JP Morgan.
