Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is facing criticism following allegations that employees, including those with as little as two years of service, have been asked to resign based on internal assessments. The concerns were raised by the Forum For IT Employees (FITE), which claims that these exams are being used to determine job security rather than evaluate skills.
FITE highlighted cases where employees, including a woman denied alimony due to her employment at TCS, were reportedly dismissed after failing the assessments. The forum said the evaluation process lacks transparency and imposes a high passing threshold of 70–80%, which many employees consider unreasonable.
The forum has urged TCS to provide access to exam papers and individual scores, stressing that workers should understand how their performance is assessed when their livelihoods are at stake.
The issue has sparked broader debate about labour rights in India’s IT sector, with critics calling for stronger protections, standardised notice periods, and fair compensation for abrupt terminations. FITE continues to advocate for transparent evaluation practices and safeguards against forced resignations, calling for urgent reforms to protect IT employees nationwide.
