IT jobs are being created once more in India’s garden city of Bangalore.

Indian news website DNA reports that that the country’s IT jobs market, which had ground to a halt in the last year, has sparked back into life with Infosys Technologies, the second largest IT firm, set to hire 24,000 IT professionals against an earlier estimate of 20,000.

TV Mohandas Pai, HR head of Infosys, has announced that the firm will make 15,000 campus offers, while Infosys’ business process outsourcing (BPO) arm is to recruit 2,000 more people.

IT services, business solutions and outsourcing provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) also plans to recruit between 8,300 and 8,500 people this year.

Elsewhere global consultancy Accenture is to add 8,000 people, while technology firm Honeywell will recruit 1,000 in 2010.

And smaller firms like Omega Healthcare and Datacraft India also plan to increase headcount ahead of new projects.
