Mumbai, April 29: Infosys has laid off more trainees after they failed to clear the internal assessments. India's second-largest IT major has implemented the third layoff of the trainees who failed the tests. Previously, the company decided to let go of 240 employees earlier this month for the same reason. Back in February 2025, Infosys layoffs affected 320 trainees who went to the labour department to get help and alleged that the company had used intimidating tactics.  

Infosys has implemented a round of layoffs affecting more than 195 employees who could not complete the final attempt in their internal assessment. The company said in an email that these individuals did not meet the qualifying criteria in the 'generic foundation training programme' even after having additional preparation time, doubt-clearing sessions, mock assessments and three attempts, according to a report by Business Standard. Tech Layoffs 2025: Over 23,000 Employees Lose Jobs As Google, Microsoft, Meta, HP and Others Slash Workforce Amid Restructuring and Cost-Cutting Moves.
