Cognizant offering salaries between  ₹4-12 lakh to fresher engineers, says EVP Surya Gummadis amid social media backlash

IT company Cognizant has clarified that its ₹2.52 lakh annual salary offer is for non-engineering degree holders, while fresh engineering graduates can earn salaries ranging from ₹4-12 lakh annually. The company faced online criticism for offering low salary hikes of 1 percent, but this represents the lower end of a 1-5 percent range based on individual performance. Cognizant emphasizes its investment in training and upskilling fresh graduates, with hundreds of non-engineering associates having advanced to key positions within the company. Additionally, Cognizant affirms its commitment to remaining competitive with its compensation strategy.
