Going by open postings, banks and IT services firms are doing most of the visible fresher hiring in India. In the 30 days to November 7, 2026, Kotak (the bank and its group companies) had about 200 openings in our fresher count, Accenture about 140, then Tata Capital, Amazon and Deloitte. The note at the bottom of the page explains exactly what we count.

Why banks out-post the IT giants
Most lists of companies hiring freshers open with TCS, Infosys and Wipro. Those firms do hire freshers in very large numbers, but through a handful of tests and drives, where one notice covers thousands of seats. Banks and lenders work the other way round: every branch role is its own posting. That is why Kotak and Tata Capital sit near the top of a count of postings while TCS, with about 30 in our feed this month, sits much lower.
So read the ranking as "who has roles open that I can apply to today", not "who hires the most freshers in a year". If you are waiting on an NQT or GenC result, these direct openings are what you apply to in the meantime, and our off campus drives guide covers the test-based route.

What each company calls its fresher roles
Knowing the title saves you hours. Banks rarely say "fresher"; Accenture says "New Associate"; Citi says "apprentice". Here is what we found on each company's own careers site on November 7, 2026, for the names at the top of the chart.
| Company | What the entry roles look like |
|---|---|
| Kotak | Branch banking and operations roles with titles like Relationship Officer, Personal Banker and Team Member, each posted separately. Its careers page also lists the Kotak NextGen Bankers Program and openings for freshly qualified CAs in internal audit. |
| Accenture | Operations roles titled New Associate (Health Operations, Banking Operations, Procurement Operations) that ask for 0 to 1 years and any graduation. Engineering graduates join as Associate Software Engineers through campus and off-campus hiring. Details in our Accenture guide. |
| Tata Capital | Branch roles in its lending businesses, with titles like Customer Service Executive. Tata group openings are listed on tata.com/careers/jobs. |
| Amazon | Internships and full-time graduate programmes, plus India operations roles such as Transportation Representative that ask for graduation in any specialization. See also our Amazon careers page. |
| Citi | Twelve-month apprenticeships titled Young Apprentice in cities including Mumbai, Chennai and Gurugram, alongside analyst roles. |
| EY | Trainee and analyst roles. This month our feed carried EY titles such as Industrial Trainee and Project Analyst. |
| TCS, Cognizant, Capgemini | Mostly hire freshers through tests and drives (TCS NQT, Cognizant GenC), so their everyday postings understate fresher hiring. |

Read the experience line, not the job title
A title tells you the work. It doesn't tell you the level. When we read India postings on company sites on November 7, Amazon postings titled Software Development Engineer asked for 3 or more years, and one asked for 7. An Accenture role called Application Developer wanted 7.5 years. Meanwhile an awkward-sounding Accenture title, Health Operations New Associate, asked for 0 to 1 years and any graduate degree.
Most large employers put that line in a predictable place. Accenture writes "Years of Experience" near the top of operations postings and "Minimum X year(s) of experience is required" on technology ones. Amazon lists it under Basic Qualifications. Find it before you read anything else.
How to check a company's fresher openings yourself
Five minutes per company
- 1
Open the careers site from the company's own website
Type the company's address yourself or start from its home page. Skip sponsored search results and forwarded links.
- 2
- 3
Search with fresher words, one at a time
Use the list below. On Accenture's Workday site, for example, searching "fresher" brought up New Associate postings whose descriptions mention freshers, even though the word is not in the title.
- 4
Open the posting and find the experience line
Zero to one or zero to two years, "freshers", or a graduation year means it is for you. Three years or more means it isn't, whatever the title says.
- 5
Apply there and note the job ID
Apply on the company's own site when you can. Save the requisition or job ID with the date, so you can follow up or spot the same role reposted later.

Search each term on its own. Career sites match words in titles and descriptions in different ways, so one term can surface roles another misses.
Which MNCs are hiring freshers in India?
If you specifically want a multinational, the top 20 posters in our feed this month already include a dozen: Accenture, Amazon, Deloitte, Citi, EY, BlackRock, NTT DATA, Capgemini, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Airbus, Cognizant and JLL.
Startups rarely appear in a top-20 count because each one posts only a few roles. You find them in the live job lists instead: in the week to November 7 our feed carried a remote "Backend Engineer (Fresh grad, India)" role at Secfix, posted through Ashby. Startup postings often say "fresh grad", "new grad" or "junior" rather than "fresher", which is why those words are in the list above. For a running list across every employer, see our fresher jobs page.
Questions people ask
Which company hires the most freshers in India?
By annual headcount, the big IT services firms announce the largest fresher intakes, mostly through tests and drives. By open postings you can apply to today, Kotak and Accenture led our feed in the 30 days to November 7, 2026.
Do banks hire freshers who did not study commerce?
Many branch and operations roles ask only for a graduate degree. Accenture's Banking Operations New Associate postings we read asked for "Any Graduation". Public sector bank jobs are a different route: they go through recruitment exams rather than individual postings.
Are companies hiring the 2026 batch?
Yes, but the batch rules sit in each notice. Test-based drives name the pass-out years they accept, while direct openings that ask for 0 to 1 years tend to focus on experience. Our off campus drives page explains how to read both.
Does a company on this list always have fresher openings?
No. The chart counts postings we saw in the last 30 days, and some roles close quickly. A few names are recruiters posting for clients. Always open the posting and read the experience line before you apply.
How often is this ranking updated?
The chart and the numbers at the top refresh daily on the live page. Figures quoted in the text are dated, so you know which month they describe.
