Need advice: Infosys SE (3.6) vs Infosys DSE (6.25) vs LTI Mindtree (4) vs Capgemini (4.25)

Hi everyone,
I’m a 2026 CSE graduate and I’ve received few offers on campus. I’m confused and would really appreciate insights from people working in these companies.

Offers:

  • Infosys SE – 3.6 LPA (On-campus)
  • Infosys DSE – 6.25 LPA (Through HWI)
  • LTI Mindtree – 4 LPA
  • Capgemini – 4.25 LPA

I’m mainly trying to decide based on:

  1. Training difficulty & evaluation
    • How tough is training at Infosys (SE vs DSE) compared to LTI Mindtree and Capgemini?
    • How strict are internal assessments and failure rates?
  2. Full-time conversion / role stability
    • Chances of being retained after training?
    • Any risk of being down-leveled or moved to support roles?
  3. Salary growth & role quality
    • Long-term growth for SE vs DSE at Infosys
    • Project quality and tech exposure in each company
  4. Joining timeline
    • Which company usually gives joining first?
    • Any history of long delays or onboarding freezes?

Would love to hear from current or ex-employees. Thanks in advance!
