Cognizant Clarifies Salary Structure Amid Social Media Backlash

New Delhi – In response to recent criticism on social media regarding its salary offers, IT giant Cognizant has clarified that its entry-level annual pay for fresh engineering graduates ranges from Rs 4 to 12 lakh. The company explained that the Rs 2.52 lakh salary figure circulating online pertains to non-engineering undergraduate degree holders, not engineering graduates.

The firm also addressed concerns about its annual salary hikes, which some criticized as being as low as 1 percent. Cognizant stated that this represents the lower end of a 1-5 percent increment range, based on individual performance evaluations.

Cognizant continues to hire fresh engineering and non-engineering graduates for various roles, maintaining what it describes as competitive compensation within the industry.
