Fate of over 300 job aspirants hangs in balance as IT major Wipro is yet to give any joining letters to them despite giving them campus placement 20 months ago.
Students from various professional colleges were given offer letters following a campus placement in November 2015, however the company has yet not provided them any assurance on the date of joining.
Following the huge delay in confirmation, job aspirants and their parents protested outside Wipro's Noida office on Wednesday alleging that they have not got any joining letters even 20 months after getting campus placement.
Issuing a brief statement on the issue, the company said, "Wipro can confirm that it will honour all offer letters that have been made to deserving candidates".
On Thursday, Wipro bagged a new five-year deal from global stainless steel maker Outokumpu. Wipro, however, did not disclose the financial details of the IT applications management contract from the Finnish firm.
As part of the deal, Wipro will provide applications management services for Outokumpu's SAP landscape along with legacy applications support to cover steel maker's locations globally, Wipro said in a statement.
Wipro has been committed to delivering business efficiency to Outokumpu over the last four years, Wipro CEO Abidali Z Neemuchwala said.
