The company's campus recruitment team visited top educational institutes including IITs, NITs, government and top private colleges. The recruitment team reached out to 300-plus colleges with over 36,000 applications pouring in from candidates, L&T said in a statement.

The company conducted more than 8,000 interviews virtually during this pandemic, ensuring COVID-appropriate behaviour.

"We are leveraging digitalisation in all our functions including HR and emphasising reskilling our workforce to suit Gen-Next technologies.

"Our philosophy of merit-based hiring from India’s top educational institutions has been always providing us with an edge in further turning the trainees into future leaders," the company's MD and CEO S N Subramanyan said.

The entire campus recruitment process for 2021, from inviting applications, conducting the assessments, personal interviews, release of offer letters, verification of documents to completion of joining formalities -- was done on an inhouse platform developed by L&T Edutech.

The candidates'' onboarding was also completely virtually. The virtual reality platform was used to impart a 3D learning experience and introduce L&T to these trainees.

Out of the 1,800 freshers, 1,100 graduate and post-graduate engineers joined on one single day. A well-crafted, 20-day induction programme is being run for these youngsters in a virtual mode with the help of online platforms to bring in a diversity of methodology and enhance the engagement level, it added.
