New Delhi: Sometimes, before we saw that Infosys news many times about the controversy regarding the trainees dismissed from their job for some reasons that are not valid, but their much debate has sprake once again, news that Infosys does such a thing once again. Infosys has dismissed another 195 trainees after failing to pass the internal assessment tests. This is the second round of layoffs in less than 10 days. Earlier on April 20, the IT giant asked 195 trainees to leave on the same grounds. With the latest development, the number of trainees who have failed the assessment test since February has risen to over 800.
According to some sources, of those 800+ affected trainees, around 250 received training through UPGrad and NIIT, while about 150 have registered for outplacement services. These IT giants have sent an email to the impacted employees. The email, sent to one such trainee, says that Further to the announcement of the results of their final assessment attempt, please be informed that you have not met the qualifying criteria in the Generic foundation training program, despite the additional preparation time, doubt clearing sessions, several mock assessments, and three attempts.
As a result, they will not be able to continue their journey in the apprenticeship program. While this may be a disappointing outcome, we are here to further support them in their learning journey; these things are mentioned in the email.
As per the sources, these trainees were recruited in the role of system engineers and digital specialist engineers. The affected trainees, similar to the previous round, will receive one month’s pay as ex gratia, a relieving letter, and access to outplacement services, counseling, and external training supported by Inosys. This includes a 12-week training program for roles in the business process management industry or a 24-week program focused on IT fundamentals for those pursuing a career in information technology, which was highlighted by the company itself.
