How Infosys hires, and how to get in: 2026

Infosys hired 73,512 people in the year to March 2026 and ended it with just 5,016 more than it started, so roughly 68,500 left. Only about 20,000 of those hires were fresh graduates, which means close to three quarters of the intake came through the lateral door. This playbook works through the published entry routes and their exact eligibility rules, the pay figures that sit in the filings rather than on the careers site, and what attrition and utilisation say about how much hiring is left this year.

How the door opens

Pro

Infosys hired 73,512 people in the year to March 2026 and finished that year with 5,016 more people than it started with, which tells you almost everything about how its door works.

Take those two numbers together. Gross hiring of 73,512 against net growth of 5,016 means roughly 68,500 people left Infosys during the same twelve months. The company also says it took in "20,000+ fresh graduates" globally that year. Subtract, and somewhere near 53,500 of the FY26 intake were not freshers at all. The campus programmes get the attention, but close to three quarters of the people who joined Infosys last year came in through the experienced door.
