Chennai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), an Indian software services and consulting company will now be hiring computer science PhDs from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) without interviews in an effort to encourage research.
S Ramadorai, Managing Director, TCS said, "There will be no interviews for PhDs from IITs across the country for the next five years. We will recruit them directly." Earlier, the company had hired a few hundred PhDs from various institutions.
During a panel discussion, which included CEOs of Tata group companies, at PanIIT, an IIT alumni conference, CK Prahalad, who was moderating the panel, said India had the potential to create nearly 200 million college graduates and 500 million professionals across various sectors in the next 15 years. On the other hand, B Muthuraman, Tata Steel's MD, was optimistic about opportunities in innovating changes in the steel manufacturing process so as to curb carbon emission during production.
