IT firm Wipro on Friday said onboarding freshers who were previously offered jobs is a "priority" for the company and added that it onboarded about 3,000 such "Next-Gen Associates" in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
The Bengaluru-based firm sees an overall intake of 10,000-12,000 NGA's in fiscal 2025.
