Infosys deferred online and in-person assessments for more than 20,000 applicants. The suspension targets specialist programmer and digital specialist engineer roles.
The company discovered multiple instances of impersonation and cheating during the evaluation process. Infosys will introduce additional verification checks and provide a new schedule to candidates later.
Infosys shares fell for a fifth consecutive session on Tuesday following the announcement. The company confirmed the deferment will not impact its total hiring commitments for the current fiscal year.
