What is Wipro Elite NTH?
Wipro Elite National Talent Hunt (NTH) is Wipro annual fresher hiring program targeting pre-final and final-year engineering students. It runs in parallel with TCS NQT and Infosys InfyTQ as one of the three biggest Indian IT services entry points. NTH typically gets 4 to 5 lakh applicants each cycle with around 20 to 25 thousand offers made across Elite Hire (Rs 3.5 LPA) and Turbo Hire (Rs 6.5 LPA) tracks.
NTH is a 3-round funnel: online written test, technical interview, HR interview. Compared to TCS NQT, NTH has a heavier emphasis on written communication (the essay round is a genuine filter) and a lighter coding round. Compared to InfyTQ, NTH is one-shot rather than certification-based; you apply, test, and either clear or retake next cycle.
