Recent viral screenshots suggest that Cognizant Technology Solutions, a major American IT services company, is offering fresh graduates salaries of up to ₹18 lakh per annum for the role of 'Ace – Full Stack AI Engineer.' This claim has sparked significant online discussion, especially considering the company's previous controversies regarding low entry-level salaries, which were reported as low as ₹2.5 lakh per annum. Many users expressed disbelief at the new salary figures, questioning whether they are genuine and discussing the implications of such high offers for specialized roles in artificial intelligence. The screenshots indicate that candidates hired as Associates may receive ₹12 lakh per annum, while Senior Associates could earn ₹18 lakh per annum. However, Cognizant has not officially confirmed these claims, leaving uncertainty about the hiring process and the actual number of positions available. This situation highlights the growing demand for AI-related skills in the tech industry, as companies like Cognizant report stronger financial results, with first-quarter revenues reaching $5.4 billion.
