Hey everyone,

I received an official Offer Letter (OL) from TCS Digital back on May 13th, specifically mapped to the core VLSI / hardware domain group.

It has been nearly a month now, and I haven't received the Joining Readiness Survey (JRS) mail or the final Joining Letter (JL). The portal status hasn't moved much either.

Since hardware onboarding at TCS is usually processed in specialized, separate batches compared to mass IT roles, I wanted to ask:

Is anyone else from the 2026 batch facing a similar delay for TCS Digital VLSI/EIS roles?

For seniors or those who joined previously, what is the typical timeline between the OL and JL for this specific domain?

Any insights or updates would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

What's a realistic comp range? Is this shift usually a pay bump or lateral?
