What is the scope of Electrical engineers in TCS? Why do they recruit electrical engineers for IT jobs?

TCS also hires leather and polymer engineers. They need any person whom they can sell to the clients as a STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) professional and who can be trained, gradually, into doing good enough work. My guess, 95% of electrical engineers in TCS will not hear of a synchronous motor again. EIS you are referring to would most probably be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_information_system, a vague and broad term, which can stand for a Database or all company software, but certainly nothing to do with electrical engineering other than the electrical power needed to run it.

It is really very good question that why IT companies recruit Electrical Graduate. I had worked for two years in Cognizant. While I was there in Cognizant I asked the same question to HR person. He replied that they hire Electrical Graduate just because they have gone logical studies so they expect that students will be logical. As per my experience, whether it is core job or IT, everywhere you need to be logical to solve real time problem. So if you find interest in IT you must join. But if your interest is toward Electrical then you should go for it because it is very important to have job satisfaction because at the end it matters. TCS is a good IT company and gives bread and butter. If you get a chance to go to Onsite you will earn knowledge and good package too. But again it depends on your interest.

Any engineer is same in any software company. The kind of work that they give amcan be done by a +2 pass student with proper training . they recruit engineers so that they can handle stress and be more social with colleagues . there is nothing to do with any core field .

TCS is pure IT company. It will recruit anyone from any field. One of my friend joined after doing CS. He is also doing some coding work as far as I know. So irrespective of what you have done in past. You are a in TCS for an IT job. They will train you and rest you will learn in your project.

When a IT company recruits you, they don’t care which branch you are from.Most of the IT companies provide their internal training and train people on different technologies. Later the candidates are mapped to a project.So, it doesn’t matter whether you did your graduation from CS or Electrical or any other branch. It also doesn’t matter to the companies whether you are a certified candidate in some technology already.In case of TCS, you will be given a training called ILP. Whether you like it or not, but, you will be assigned a technology randomly and will be trained for a few months.The surprising part comes after your training is done and you report to the base location. Now, irrespective of whatever technology you were trained in (Not to forget, TCS decided the techonogy randomly), you will again be randomly assigned to any project, be it Development, Testing, Support etc.So, stop worrying about the scope. Your scope is limited to the needs of the company and it’s projects.

There is some ambiguity to this question 1) some IT company hire electrical engineer to help in development of software's which are related to electrical field2) some IT company hire electrical engineer considering them to have equal competency to technical graduates, train them and make fit for software field
