"The campus recruitment process began in August and will continue till February 2012," said Ajoyendra Mukherjee, global head, human resources (HR), TCS. "The first recruits will join in June 2012 and the rest in second and third quarters."

"We started early so that all students are available in the campus and are not away on internships or traineeships," said Mukherjee.

TCS also warned about the fake job scams that are carried out through emails and said that the problem is affecting the whole industry.
