In a significant update for the Information and Technology sector Indian IT major Infosys has dismissed another 195 trainees from a batch of 680 at its Mysuru campus after they failed internal assessments as per a report by Moneycontrol. This marks the fourth round of dismissals bringing the total number of trainees let go to around 800 since February 2025. Out of those affected about 250 have joined upskilling programs with UpGrad and NIIT while around 150 have signed up for outplacement services. Infosys partners with UpGrad and NIIT In response to this Infosys has partnered with UpGrad and NIIT to offer upskilling programs for those affected. About 250 trainees have enrolled in these programs majorly concentrating on Business Process Management (BPM) and IT training. Furthermore 150 others have opted for job transition services. Infosys is providing these trainees free training through its partnerships with UpGrad for BPM and NIIT for IT skills. Infosys has also offered an alternative career path for some of the dismissed trainees. Those who joined the program after a delay of over 2.5 years are being provided with 12 weeks of training for potential posts in Business Process Management (BPM). Along with a relieving letter Infosys also pay for the training and will also provide one-month extra payment. For trainees who are not interested in following the BPM career path the company is arranging transport from Mysuru to Bengaluru and also providing travel allowances to their hometowns. Also trainees can use accomodation services at the Employee Care Centre in Mysuru until they are ready to depart. This move comes amid a period of low market demand with Infosys projecting revenue growth of just 0 to 3 percent for the current fiscal year. The company’s policy dictates that trainees who fail assessments cannot continue with the program.  The Karnataka Labour Department has cleared Infosys of any wrong doing in the dismissals mentioning that the trainees were apprentices not employees. Therefore the labour laws related to layoffs do not apply. This decision came after an investigation ordered by the Union Labour Ministry during which Infosys confirmed that it followed its own policies while handling the terminations.
