Infosys has dismissed another 195 trainees after they failed to clear internal assessment tests, pushing the total number of exits since February to nearly 800, reported moneycontrol.

The move marks the fourth such round of trainee terminations at India’s second-largest IT services company, which is grappling with weak demand and flat revenue projections for the current fiscal year.

The latest exits were communicated via emails dated April 29, which stated that the trainees had not cleared the ‘Generic Foundation Training Program’ despite extended preparation time, doubt-clearing sessions, and three attempts at the final assessment. The affected trainees were part of the System Engineer (SE) and Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) intake.

“While this may be a disappointing outcome, we are here to further support you in your learning journey,” the company said in an email.

Like in previous rounds, Infosys is offering a one-month ex-gratia payout, a relieving letter, and an optional transition package that includes training for alternative career paths. Those who opt in can receive 12 to 24 weeks of free upskilling, courtesy of partnerships with NIIT and UpGrad.

The programs are aimed at preparing trainees for roles in either the Business Process Management (BPM) sector or core IT functions.
