EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 has two Testing openings live in Chennai — Testing – BCM (job ID 1521734) and Testing – WAM (job ID 1521705). Both are freshers roles in EY’s Global Delivery Services consulting practice with identical eligibility: BE or B.Tech in IT, Computer Science or circuit branches, 60% and above, no active backlogs. You can apply to both through the official EY job board.
Several job alerts for these openings say only “freshers and recent graduates” and leave out the actual filters. The official EY listings are stricter. Both ask specifically for BE / B.Tech in IT, Computer Science or circuit branches, a minimum of 60%, and no active backlogs. B.Com, BBA, BCA, B.Sc and non-circuit engineering candidates are not covered by these requisitions, so check these three lines against your marksheet before spending time on the application.
Job Summary
EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 — two Testing roles open
EY Global Delivery Services has two separate Testing requisitions live for Chennai at the same time. The work, the eligibility and the location are identical — the difference is the client sector each team supports. You can apply to both, and applying to one does not block the other.
You would be testing software built for banks and capital markets firms — core banking platforms, deposit system replacements, lending and leasing modernisation, and cloud-native re-architecture work.
You would be testing platforms for global and domestic asset management clients — front and back office re-platforming and technology-enabled transformation using AI, ML and blockchain.
If you have no strong preference, apply to both. BCM and WAM are sector labels inside EY Consulting, not different job grades, and both sit under the same Testing Services practice in the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026.
About the Testing role at EY GDS
EY describes its Testing Services team as “the yardstick of quality software product” — the group that breaks something in order to make the product stronger. The team covers the full range of testing work, from functional and technical testing through to business and user acceptance testing, which means you need a mix of technical skill and process discipline rather than coding alone.
EY Global Delivery Services is the delivery network that supports EY member firms worldwide. It runs from six countries and sixteen cities, with ten of those cities in India — Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida and Trivandrum among them — and employs more than 50,000 people. Both of these requisitions sit in the Chennai centre.
EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 eligibility criteria
These are the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 qualification requirements, identical for both roles and taken exactly as EY has published them:
- BE / B.Tech in IT, Computer Science or circuit branches.
- 60% and above in your degree.
- No active backlogs.
- Freshers and recent graduates.
EY has not published a batch year restriction for the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026, but off-campus drives of this type usually target the most recent passing batches. If you are from a non-circuit branch or below the 60% mark, neither requisition is the right fit — look instead at EY’s other openings, which our EY Freshers Hiring 2026 post tracks.
Skills EY is looking for
- Understanding of, or experience with, software development best practices and the software development life cycle.
- Working knowledge of one or more programming languages such as Java, .NET or Python.
- Exposure to data analytics or databases such as SQL, Oracle or Teradata.
- An internship in a relevant technology domain is an added advantage.
Note the wording carefully. For the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026, EY asks for understanding and/or experience. You are not expected to arrive as a specialist. A solid grasp of SDLC stages, one language you can actually write in, and basic SQL will meet the stated bar.
Behavioural competencies EY has named
- Adaptive to the team and fosters a collaborative approach.
- An innovative approach to projects when required.
- Passion and curiosity, a desire to learn, and the ability to think digital.
- An agile mindset and the ability to multi-task.
- An eye for detail.
That last one is not filler for an EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 testing role. Attention to detail is the core competency being assessed, and interviewers will probe it — expect to be asked how you would test something ordinary, like a login page or a lift, and to be judged on how many edge cases you can list.
Selection process & preparation tips
EY has not published a stage-by-stage process for the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 requisitions. For EY GDS technology intake, the usual sequence is an online application, an aptitude and technical assessment, a technical interview, and an HR round.
Prepare three things for the EY GDS Off Campus Drive 2026 interview. First, testing fundamentals — test case design, black box versus white box, severity versus priority, and the defect life cycle. Second, SQL, since data validation is daily work in both banking and asset management testing: joins, group by, and writing a query to compare two tables. Third, one clear project story where you found and fixed a bug, explained the way you would explain it to a client. For the aptitude section, our TCS NQT preparation guide covers the question patterns most Indian IT recruiters reuse.
