To date, FITE has received 600+ responses through surveys in which it was seen that many freshers are still on the bench and waiting to join their respective companies.

Almost 240+ freshers from cities like Bangalore and Pune are waiting to join the company. FITE survey also claimed that, as far as the company-wise survey is concerned, Wipro and Infosys, top the list in which the freshers are waiting to get any formal joining letter.
