That depends on the nature of job. It can be six months, one year or even two years. But the period of probation should not be to misuse the concept.

Period of probation in a company
The period of probation in a company depends upon the company's policy. Some companies allow a 3-month probation period, while others have a probation period of 6 months to one year. The company has the sole right to extend the probation period for another 3 months, 6 months, or a year if it is found that the job performance of the probationary employee is not up to the desired level.

Probation Period Variability
It is 6 months or 3 months, which varies from company to company. Some companies will consider you a confirmed employee from the date of joining, but leaving the company with a 30- or 90-day notice period is vice versa.
