Infosys has fired 400 trainees after they failed to pass an internal assessment, not once, not twice, but three times, despite the fact that the passing score was only 65%. Even worse, the previous standard was an abysmally low 50%, meaning Infosys was hiring and training candidates who couldn’t even meet a barely passing grade. Now, 450 more trainees are about to take their third and final attempt, and if the current trend continues, many will likely fail again. Instead of questioning why so many fresh hires struggle to meet even these minimal standards, some trainees are demanding government intervention to stop Infosys from enforcing its own basic competency requirements. This situation raises serious concerns about the quality of hiring and training in the Indian IT sector, especially since a significant portion of Infosys' H-1B and L-1 visa workers come from these same trainee pools. If these candidates can’t even score 65% after three attempts, what does that say about the qualifications of those being sent to the U.S. on work visas? Infosys has long been a top sponsor of H-1B and L-1 visa applications, bringing thousands of workers to the U.S. under the claim that they possess "specialized skills" that American workers supposedly lack. Yet, if their internal training pipeline is producing talent that repeatedly fails at a subpar standard, it raises serious questions about whether Infosys is truly selecting the "best and brightest" or just exploiting the visa system to flood the U.S. job market with cheaper labor. At least Infosys is finally raising the bar, but let’s be honest 65% after three tries is still an embarrassingly low standard. The real issue isn’t that these trainees are being let go, but that they were hired in the first place.
