Infosys vs. Wipro vs. TCS: Which is better?

Difference between Infosys, Wipro and TCS

These 3 Indian companies,  include Infosys, Wipro and the TCS (Tata Consultancy Services),  are considered to be the backbone of the Information Technology sector in India. Those who are searching for IT jobs, India’s technology industry and the stock market have their eyes fixed on these three companies. There is a great deal of competition between them in terms of manpower, revenue, profitable deals and the profits gained.

Revenue

Infosys has recently shown a fall in net profit of about 3.6 % which is equivalent to Rs.1, 582 Crore. Rs. 5,742 crore is the revenue generated from the products and services offered by Infosys which is far less than what it earned previously. This represented as a decrease in profits. TCS is showing good results in terms of profit margin. TCS has been able to turn profits from their suite of products and services. Wipro, also, has also been able to prove itself by demonstrating an increase in profits.

Clients

Infosys has seen marked success in achieving around 32 clients in just one quarter; there are various clients from the financial and the banking sectors as well. TCS has been able to acquire a similar number of clients and Wipro is also following the same trend and has gained success. These companies have been able to acquire large number of clients due to their available products and services.

Summary

These three companies have achieved a lot of success and with their constant development and plans for the future.
•These companies have achieved success in terms of profit margin with the exception of Infosys.
•These companies are making sure to hire more and more potential professionals where as Wipro is focusing chiefly on candidates fresh out of universities.These companies have achieved success in acquiring clients.
•Though these companies are the mainstay of the Indian IT sector, there is much more to be done to build up the Technology sector of the country. All of these firms are still in their development stage and expect to be in even better shape in the near future.

Training Period , Salary and Facilities for freshers in TCS , INFOSYS and WIPRO

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.

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%.

Salary for the Freshers (trainees) in TCS , INFOSYS and WIPRO
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.
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!)
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.
