Infosys vs TCS which is better for software job in India
Here is the good comparison between Infosys job and TCS job. First know about the working culture at Infosys-
Infosys
This is what one person of Infosys said -
Training at infy : it is about four and half months, timings from 9 to 5.30 or 5.45 till 12.30 they take the classes and afternoons we are given assignments on that day’s topic and supposed to finish and submit by next day morning 9. Total training is divided into two parts generic for one and half month (general topics 9 modules) and stream specific training (like java or .net or mainframes or opensystesm etc) for 2 and half months. Environment of teaching is really good. Tests are tough and the evaluation procedure is also very strict. We are supposed to get 65% in every test and there is negative marking too. They conduct test on completion of each module.
Infosys training tests are designed for average people only. The key to success is that “Focus only on the Printed material given to you”. All the asked questions will be from the material.
If you are from a Non CS/IT background then you are put into long cycle. If from CS/IT then you’ll be undergoing fast track training. If some one from CS/IT stream fails in the fast track training, then he will be shifted to Long cycle. He enjoys 1.5 + 3 months of training.
Salary- It is true that wipro’s package is much much better than that of infy. people who got placed in wipro got their package as 27k per month including housing allowance, on the other hand infy people offer only 14k change for their freshers. I have been here in Infy for couple of years now and have sen poeple moving to these above mentioned companies. now today if I ask them, more than 75% people regret their decision.
TCS
This is what one person of TCS said-
Training at TCS- Training accommodation is awesome. Properly furnished, tv and fridge, they do provide housekeeping. Every 4 days they change bed sheets and pillow covers, everyday they sweep and every 4-5 days he comes and washes the toilet as well. Earlier tcs tests had 50% cutoff and they were openbook tests and now the tests will be closed book and the cutoff is 65%. Girls actually don’t have have a dress code, actually girls can wear anything salwaar kameez, trousers and top, sari, everything is allowed. Training syllabus-1. soft engg 2. data structure 3. os 4. dbms 5. boot programming 6. unix
Salery- package for off campus B.E/B.TECH is 2.36 lacs per annum and MCA/M.TECH is 2.75 lacs per annum for off campus, It’s against hr policy of TCS to discusses or disclose the salary information in public, be careful guys (who cares!)
TCS or Infosys?- From employee point of view , in most of the criteria like Salary,work culture,work pressure etc all the top companies are same.
In case of work pressure,work culture it depends on your luck, ( project you are getting allocated). In every company you will have simple & tough projects ,friendly & strict managers.But if u ask people, some will tell this company is bad in work culture, work load etc.. if they say then it is thier bad luck on getting allocated to such projects.you will find their statements wrong if u discuss with people in few other projects..
Even in case of salary initially it will be higher in one company but you will find the salary of another company higher in second year.That is if you take avg of salary from the time of joining to next 6 yrs all of these top companies will be almost equal.
The only criteria left is the growth potential/fundamental of the company.As you know TCS is ASIA’s No1 It company with projects all over the world and they have signed long term contract from our BSNL to US, European companies so the company will survive even if there is any fall in IT boom.
TCS, IBM or CTS ?- I would say that on the parameters discussed above I find TCS and CTS as 50:50 choice.TCS runs more in a conventional way adopted from TATA manufacturing group.
Positives of this are that you won’t loose your job but negative is that age will always be counted for superiority.Where as CTS is comparatively young organisation and therefore more flambouyant and aggressive in approach from marketing to canteen ..
IBM is no no for me because the weight of IBM logo is too much for it’s indian managment to handle hence employee’s don’t get to work on what they can get in TCS or CTS.
Now if you ask me to choose 1 out of TCS and CTS then I have to vote TCS 51 % as I am employee of it and I feel it is the best that’s why I am here but I am sure if u ask the same question in CTS community then you will get another answer simply because people there think that CTS is the best and that’s why they are there

i want to know what are types of jobs that they provide to freshers in both TCS and infosys. I came to know that they give some 24X7 jobs in which you have to work in night. is it true?
Also whether these companies take also BSc graduates or only BTecs as i am a BSc (Computer sc) grad.
hi
Good diplomatic comparison, must say!
Good job, but you can fetch more through updates!!
The ILP procedure here has changed drastically and is on the move.
Thanks Anyways.
Nice to see honest words. Good luck.
I want to describe some reasons why infy is more better than TCS
My bro(From IIT kgp) was an employee of TCS and according to him
TCS is is like a gov. company coz..
1.Work culture-exactly like gov
He had to give 5 application for 3 days leave
and think abt when one had to go for
some signature also on them
2.Low salary
3.You should follow dilbert’s theory to
stay there(My bro’s advice).
4.Late joining for freshers
from nov-jan
5.Very low sal. package during training
6.2yr bond of 50,000
My friend’s sis also in TCS and she has nothing to do for 4 months after completion of training
You can say projects are given according to availability but as an employee this is not good!
At last my bro left TCS after just one year
loss of 50,000!!
Some points in favour of Infosys
1.They provide best training
Equivalent to B.S.
2.For freshers joining in july-aug
3.Salary package during traing is almost
equal to original sal package
(I got selected in both TCS &infy in
my 3rd yr of BE
TCS——3.15L
Infosys–3.25L)
4.Myasore campus is one of the best place for
training
5.High chances of promotion than in TCS
Can reach upto 10-13L in 3 years
6.Has more market capital than TCS(june-2008)
7.Very good work culture
8.Bond constrints are quite flexible
Although both these companies are not good enough for CS/IT students
Infy is OK for starting your career.
cheers
Rohit
thanx alot……
i got clear
tcs is definitely better for me…
Is TCS better or INFY better as all matters r considered???
Ofcourse Infy no doubts abt it…atleast better than TCS…
hi…im working in TCS right now..not in technical but management stream.i feel that tcs exploits its employees..makes you “retainer”..i.e a slave….you are not on tcs’ pay rolls..you wont get any benefit of the company…and your salary would be one fourth of that of an employee..that is..less that even 10k a month…and you would have to work the most…..and than TATAs talk of their values !!
hi,i hav been placed in tcs on this june 2008.now i am doing my final year b.tech.when will get the offer letter from tcs?..pls provide me info based on the current scenario in the it sector.i hav been impressed with the information about the infy..also pls tell me how can i get into infy off-campus recruitments…
If hardworking??
go for infy……..atleast better than TCS,wipro,mbt etc.
One more news
infy is now giving insurance of atleats Rs. 300,000
I am working with Infosys since last two years. I think from a freshers perspective Infy would be the best to learn and work…
Hi,
Do provide me with an information about the infy offer letter for those placed in 2008.
I am doing my final year in Information Technology and was selected by infosys in june-2008 in campus recruitment. But i have not recieved any offer letter or mails from infy. I was told that the offer letters will be provided within 2 months but it has been 4 and a half… no sign of offer letters yet.
can i know how is the tcs recruitment this year after training???..on what criteria are they tranfering people after trainin
Can you be more specific to IBM ? You mentioned ….
IBM is no no for me because the weight of IBM logo is too much for it’s indian managment to handle hence employee’s don’t get to work on what they can get in TCS or CTS.
… did not quite understand this.
I have worked in infy for 2 years, and currently in tcs for 2.5 years now.
I have gone thru my share of hardships in both these companies, but have been luckier though in TCS, hence I m here till now.
But frankly, my honest opinion would be..
As a organization Infy is better than TCS @ any given day..
- Infy is more professional
- Support staff like HR, hardware are more efficient.
- you are treated better by people in Infy than in TCS.
- more ethical than TCS ofcourse
- TCS is more like a govt org, which has royally messed up its management to a level of irreparable damage.
Well, I have gone through almost all of the comments above and it gives me great pleasure to see that the Infy guys are so very obsessed with tcs…it happens…thats explained by the fact that every year we have some 3000 people getting into tcs from infy…tats where the success of tcs lies…Its the largest IT firm in the country and the feelings of those who are not a part of it is actually quite understandable…after all the grapes which you cant reach always tend to be sour .god bless you all…hope you will be in tcs some day.
Its not a matter of better company.its depend on company environment.if that person can adjust to that environment he likes that company.
he would like to do there only.thtas it
Yeah..absolutely right..why did they jump to tcs in the first place if the case were so??they could have clued to infy itself..and what I found was TCS has a lower firing rate than Infy..The reason is Infy tests only HR while recruiting (which is comparatively easy to crack) and selects its employees.Whereas TCS tests the Technical, Managerial as well as the HR sides while recruiting its employees which is quite a tough one to handle and get through.So TCS selects employees who as well possess sound technical base along with good soft skills.So why would it lose its employees so easily who have a better quality unlike Infy whose employees are tested only on their soft skills and are fired within no time.IT fields should definitely test the Technical aspects else there is no point.Gettin placed in TCS is definitely a big thing than getting placed in Infy.This one shall definitely make us think….

1. soft engg 2. data structure 3. os 4. dbms 5. boot programming 6. unix
hey…. can any one give info about Freshers choice of IBM or TCS.I hav got selected for both of these companies.Please give support in favour of ur arguement……waiting for ur suggestions.
Thank u in advance
1) What is the current grade structure in infy and how is the salary related to the grade structure?
2) If one is a lateral recruit, what are the things one needs to pay attention during the recruitment process?
Think twice before joining TCS now. I was hrd core fan of TCS. But, TCS is a huge company and it has become impossible for TCS management to manage the resources. It has become a survival for fittest in TCS. The employees are now wasting more of their time trying to get out the fear about the happening in TCS. There is no productivity. Seniors have managed to keep a good rapo with Management. Hence they are surviing. those in technical or delivery side are sweeting their blood out and the senior managers are taking the fruits.
Hey, i am a 2009 batch BE graduate, recruited in TATA ELXSI. Not yet recieved any sort of notification from the firm, can anyone tell me about the expectations that i should have from the company right now, means DOJ, Pay Scale & bla bla….
I am from 08 batch and currently in TATA ELXSI Tech support team.We are looking very much forward in calling our young recruiters due to overburden in projects.Many firms have asked ELXSI expert solutions for their product support and services..In the mean time prepare yourself for the field of animation 3Ds max,i would say precisely as our training team would not be able to concentrate on each candidate and the trainings would be exhaustive , in fact You could be directly assigned projects if have prior knowledge. Our HR team would contact you in 2-3 weeks…start Packing ..;)
is it real that being in infy a person can get to 10-13 lakh in 3 years???
i didnt know tat n planning for MS in CS just after btech..thought tat u wont get much growth later in INfy or TCS..
can someone clarify if we really reach upto 10-13 lakh as mentoned by “Rohit Trivedi” in the replies?
That’s not true I mean getting 10-13lakhs in 3 years in infosys is not true.
What u have take in right decision. It’s good to go for MS then going to TCS or Infosys.
You people don’t know what is happening internally.
Many people who have 4 years and more experience don’t have promotions and salary hikes. There were no projects.
First of all there is no job guaranty and u need to prepare for that, next be prepare to work as slave I mean at night shits, day shifts, 12 to 16 hrs a day and finally company will earn money but no guaranty for employee and his family feature.
At campus placement they will through job biscuits to students and students feel that there life is settled but true story come into picture only after one year.
So, please don’t fall into the trap of s/w companies. They were fooling students with their Brands. When you relies the fact you wont be in a position to change or correct it.
At the age of 30 or 35 years you people wont have the same zeal of learning excitement. So, try to settle in life but don’t race behind the salary and the numbers which you people are dreaming is not true in this recession.
Even a small businessman can survive happily with a guaranty for his child feature but there is no surety for S/w employee family.

Hi…
i am joinning TCS last week as ASE- trainee.
I feel very lucky to join tcs as they offering a great accomodation for us. They provide world class trainning as their faculties all PHd holder . We also get paid well package.
one of my friend join Infosys . he says that the trainning they providing is not good enough.
TCS was the first company which came for Campus in my college.I got selected (in early 2008 ,in 6th semester).2 years have passed I have not got my joining yet.Wasted around 7 months waiting for TCS to call me.
MY ADVICE TO FRESHERS : Don’t get depressed.Work hard , and appear for interviews and examz conducted by other companies and get yourself selected in some other company .
@ajit : were u a fresher at the time u joined and joined as a software/system engineer??
I got placed in TCS in december 2009.
I m a big fan of TCS as it is the biggest software comapany of ASIA. But my freinds are selected in INFOSYS. They are having their internship in mysore in their final semester now.
This is really helping them a lot in learning many new things.
I want to know whether the trainig standards in TCS is also as good as INFOSYS??
Why TCS is not having such intership like infi in the final sem??
i completed mca.i want details is tcs or infosys had a training and placement without campus selections
infy is ok ok … tcs is evergreen.. if u have to make a choice choose TCS.. bcoz u love workinging here .. but dont join any local project
Hi,
Forget TCS, Infosys etc. Start your own company. like I did after resigning from Microsoft.
i would like to take traning in your company…….
i am placed in infosys,cts,tcs,accenture,ibm,google,yahoo,microsoft,accenture and wipro.Can anyone suggest me which company to join????
