Everything is coming on my way........

ahhmm aahmmm mmmmmmm...

Here I'm back with a bunch of posts .....
I'll start with a small sorry note :P..

I'm sorry friends because I had promised to
share each and every experience at ILP,But i was too busy with my schedule so i
hardly wrote any post..

SO finally completed with three months hectic training schedule and back to home ...
Training period was a great learning experience ..learnt many thing apart from technicals


TCS ILP center at Coimbatore was all different there were around 200ys and girls - all of them trying to have a glance at a notice board kept at the entrance. The schedule for the day was put up - our batch numbers were already told to us at the induction when we checked . around 150 of us gathered in the classroom alloted to the four batches. The schedule for the first day was induction - from the admin, HR, ILP (I don't remember exactly - forgive me for my memory) - after breakfast. Let me tell you that the food is bad - but quite cheap,and some more stuff - some days there is channa batura, some other days there are other dishes as well. TCS gives free tea/coffee - which can be used any time of the day .The daily schedule will have 4 slots with 2 tea/coffee breaks and 1 lunch break and it may typically be like this7 to 6 - A Slot7 to 9.0 0 Break9.30 to 11 BLunch C Slot3 BreakSlot4 Submission of feedback forms/meetingsThe timings could vary but not a lot - it may be around 15 minutes either way. Each batch has two coordinators - one technical and one life skills coordinator (will tell you about technical and life skills later) (the faculty insist that we call them by their first name :) - no more Sir/Madam formalities).So, after breakfast, we proceeded to our induction sessions. Let me tell you what Induction actually is - it is nothing but a formal welcome by all the departments of TCS , who is the admin incharge of TCS. He's a very lively and jovial chap - he welcomed us to Teknoturf coimbatore and then he went on to talk about the rules and regulations to be followed in the hblah blah blah ........as well as work - like for example he said, speak in English 24/7. And then we had the other inductions - by HR(it was by a male named Ashok - he's one ruthless man- the first thing he told us was that WE WOULD NOT BE ALLOCATED TO PLACES NEAR OUR HOME TOWN for our project - so you know her character now..its all business requirments).ILP induction was by Mr. Manikandan (who later became mani - our technical coord.) - he told us about the ILP in general. Let me digress to tell you in detail about the ILP at TCS. From this year on, i.e from 2008, the ILP pattern has been changed - it is for 72 days for all branches (earlier CS ppl had ILP for 33 days and non CS for 44 days) - now mind you - 72 days means 72 working days - which would mean that the ILP is for 63 days (9 weeks), coz we would get around 12 or 13 holidays (Sundays and alternate Saturdays - TCS works on alternate Saturdays). So, this 50 day ILP schedule is broken up into two phases -1. Induction2. IntegrationThe Induction is the same for all the batches - it basically deals with the fundamentals and other courses. Here is the unofficial TCS schedule for Induction phase -Induction phase 72 days-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The integration phase is also called the project specific training - about which I shall tell you later.At the end of the first day, I could make the following observations -1. You should be proud to be a part of TCS and generally as a part of the TATA brand - because that's the aim of the first day's induction schedule.2. TCS has an ERP tool called Ultimatix which can be accessed at https://www.ultimatix.net - you cannot do anything with it now though if you are not yet a TCS employee. Ultimatix is the ultimate ERP tool - it is through Ultimatix that you will have to claim your reimbursements, apply for leave, view your paycheck, fill in your time sheets (this is after training i.e during your project after allocation).3. TCS also has a global helpdesk through which you send all your requests - like activating your TCS mail ID, or reporting some problems with the computers and so on.4. You cannot access public email clients like yahoo, gmail, rediff, hotmail and even sites like orkut and many others from any computer in TCS - they are all blocked by the server.The first day at TCS ended - it was a stress to the mind - listening to the history of the TATA group and that of TCS - during every induction made us feel bored to hell. Overall, it was a good day - my first day @ TCS - came to know a lot of things. The next day, we had our documentation scheduled - which is the verification of certificates and collection of the service agreement among others.I'll soon post more about my traning...........
