How does TCS select its consultants?
TCS carefully selects its consultants from top universities and from
various professional backgrounds. Consultant selection is a planned
operation involving aptitude tests, auditions, an interview process, and
the recommendation of the institute concerned.
What is the need for service agreements?
On joining TCS entrants are required to sign service and confidentiality
agreements, in which they accept to stay with TCS for the two years
following their initial year of training. TCS invests a large portion of
its resources in training and therefore requires such an agreement to be
signed by permanent employees. The confidentiality agreement is aimed at
providing protection to the intellectual property rights of TCS and its
clients.
Why are entrants required to sign overseas agreements?
The experience and skills acquired by consultants abroad are fruitfully
used in enriching the knowledge of their counterparts in India, and are
also applied in projects for Indian clients. TCS feels it is crucial to
utilise this knowledge and experience.
