Quick answer: Freshers are welcome, and the trade-off is blunt: from day one you're expected to work alone for stretches. The real filter is depth in one language, Python or Java, plus the patience to debug and test code you didn't write.

HireSetu's note
Depth in one language
Pick Python or Java and know it well enough to explain how you'd structure a small application, not just clear a coding round. Depth in at least one language is the requirement. Listing both at the same level on a fresher CV is easy to poke holes in.
A BSc or BA in computer science is the stated bar, with a masters appreciated.
Most of the work is fixing
New code is a small slice of the job. Most of it is opening an existing application, working out why it misbehaves, and repairing it without breaking whatever sits next to it. The posting puts reprogramming and updating existing applications on the list.
Be able to describe how you debug: reading a stack trace, halving the problem, writing a test that reproduces the fault before touching the fix. One bug that ate a full day beats a list of tools.
Prototypes, then tests, then documents
Expect a prototype first, then source code, then unit, integration and functional testing, then technical documents and handbooks describing what you built. Non-functional testing, meaning behaviour under load and at the edges, is a step many freshers have never done, and learning it on the job is normal.
Little supervision cuts both ways. Nobody checks whether you got stuck, so raise problems early instead of surfacing them at the deadline.
Chennai and the years after
The role is full-time and Chennai-based. Confirm the daily arrangement, office or hybrid, since it decides your commute and rent.
After a year or two, the paths out of work like this are backend development, testing and QA, or maintaining enterprise systems for clients. Which one you get depends on the project you land on, so ask how freshers are assigned.
