Hiring numbers come from PapersAdda Hiring Pulse polling AmbitionBox every six hours, then matched to verified candidate offer letters for the CTC band. This is the live working table, not a templated companies directory.
A 36,900 open-roles number at Accenture does not mean 36,900 fresher seats. Across the IT-services tier-1, the open-roles ratio between fresher-specific and experienced-backfill sits at roughly 1:8 in May 2026. The right way to read this table is to anchor on three signals together: open roles, CTC band, and OA difficulty. A 7 OA at 30 LPA is a different fight than a 5 OA at 4 LPA, even when both companies are publicly hiring.
The Indian fresher pool is currently strongest at the tier-1 IT services band (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, HCL, Tech Mahindra, LTIMindtree) where intake commitments persist quarter over quarter. The product band (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Adobe) hires smaller cohorts but at multiples of the IT-services CTC. The investment-banking and fintech bands (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Razorpay, PhonePe) sit between, with selective intake and a higher OA bar. Filter by tier, not by company-name alphabet.

Open-roles counts are AmbitionBox live snapshots, refreshed every six hours. CTC bands are verified against candidate offer letters tracked in r/developersIndia and PrepInsta threads.
Each block links to the company hub and the dedicated placement paper guide where available.
PapersAdda Hiring Pulse, May 2026 snapshot, tracks Accenture (36,900 roles), SAP (very large data-services backfill not all India-fresher), TCS (3,900), Amazon (2,500), Capgemini (2,000), Infosys (1,900), Deloitte (1,900), and IBM (1,800) as the highest live counts. Note that headline counts include experienced backfill, fresher-specific intake is tighter.
TCS Digital pays 7-7.3 LPA, Infosys Power Programmer 9 LPA, and Wipro Elite NTH 6.5 LPA. The standard fresher tracks across IT services sit in the 3.36-4 LPA band. Premium tracks have explicit higher academic and section cutoffs. The cross-comparison brief lives in the TCS vs Infosys and TCS vs Wipro pages linked below.
Tier-1 IT services (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, Accenture) sit at OA difficulty 5-6 out of 10, with aggregate cutoffs in the 60-70 percent band. Product companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Google) start at OA difficulty 7-9, with DSA-heavy questions and time pressure under 30 minutes per problem.
Per Hiring Pulse May 2026: Microsoft India, Zoho, Cred, Visa, Citi, Bank of America, and Standard Chartered show zero open fresher-specific roles in the current snapshot. This may be a temporary pause rather than a sustained freeze, the situation can change within a single hiring cycle.
CTC values come from verified candidate offer letters shared on r/developersIndia and PrepInsta threads, cross-checked against company quarterly disclosures where available. Both base CTC and in-hand are tracked, but only the base CTC range is shown in the main table for comparability.
