IT Employees Association Files Complaint With Labour Ministry Over Wipro Onboarding Delays

As per NDTV Profit report, The Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) has sought government intervention over alleged onboarding delays by Wipro Ltd, claiming that more than 250 selected fresh graduates remain without joining dates months after completing all recruitment formalities. 

Onboarding Delays Trigger Formal Complaint 

According to the complaint submitted to the Union labour ministry, affected candidates were selected through campus and off-campus hiring drives and issued letters of intent around May 2025.  

Several candidates were also provided confirmed joining dates and locations, and their documentation and background verification processes were marked as completed in the company’s systems. 

Despite this, the candidates were not onboarded as scheduled. NITES alleged that Wipro failed to issue written explanations, revised timelines, or formal cancellations, leaving candidates in uncertainty for 6 to 8 months. Follow-ups reportedly resulted in automated responses citing future onboarding batches or business requirements. 

Impact on Candidates and Transparency Concerns 

NITES said complaints have emerged from multiple states, indicating a pan-India issue rather than isolated delays.  

Many candidates reportedly declined alternative job offers or were restricted from seeking other employment due to campus placement norms after accepting Wipro’s offer. 

The employee body also raised concerns over mental stress and financial pressure faced by candidates and their families.  

It further alleged a lack of transparency, noting that while some candidates were kept waiting indefinitely, others were onboarded during the same period without clarity on prioritisation criteria.

Wipro Share Price Performance  

As of January 20, 2026, at 11:00 AM, Wipro share price is trading at ₹242.15 per share, reflecting a decline of 1.55% from the previous closing price.  

Conclusion 

NITES has urged the labour ministry to seek an explanation from Wipro and direct the company to communicate clear decisions to affected candidates, either by confirming onboarding timelines or formally closing the offers to prevent prolonged career uncertainty.
