First Day @ TCS ILP
First Day @ TCS ILP
On 5th nov 2012,
we were asked to report to the Q-City ilp center , Hyderabad at 8 am. The
busses will be there from our Manjeera to
Q-city from morning 6 am to 8.45 .we woke up at 4.30 , get dressed and left for Q-city at 6 am
itself.
This time the format of
the ilp has been changed, The ilp will be running in two shifts i, e first shift is from morning 7am-2pm and
second shift is from 2.30 pm to 10pm .
There will be 4 sessions each 1hr.45mins or 2 hrs and they will be named as –A
A B and C . there will persons called co-ordinator who are like guardians to us . The streams will be allocated purely based on the requirement , in our batch there is no UNIX and BIPM stream itself , we have a new stream called java testing.
As soon as we entered
the Qcity there are two blocks A & B , directly we went to the 7th floor of the B block, both the
7th and 8th floor has been undertaken by TCS and there are many others companies like
amazon.com , infromatics , dst etc
As we got out of the
list there was a long queue, I was wondering why but it was just for the
scanning of the bag, after scanning the bag we were directed towards the
Auditorium , the interior design of the ILP
centre is awesome , really it is
so good . as we reached auditorium we were asked enter our details and provided
the temporary ID card, and sent back to ground floor to have break fast
The Cafeteria is at the
ground floor of the q city, really it’s the vast cafeteria but sometimes it
can’t fit all the employees in it. So the companies have designed there
schedule to control the crowd over there , there are almost 3 food suppliers ,
Subway , one Fresh n juice and two bakery’s in the cafeteria .
We were back at the
auditorium by 8 am , at first the attendance was taken in an excel sheet then
the batches were formed as a group of thirty
according to serial no in that spread , we were to rearrange our seating
order according to our batches . Then the HR lead Edwards welcomed us in sweet
n short and handed over mike to the delivery manager Aravind , so then aravind
started introducing him , his company , oh sorry it was our company by
then , Then we had a small break , the
next session was continued by the Jayashree , who is centre head of ilp, and
while aravind speaking earlier he mentioned about the hobby of designing their
own dress and said even our centre head has that hobby, and she personally took
care of the designing this beautiful centre . jayashree talked about the values
and something related to the philosophy.
It was almost 2 pm we
were given the lunch break , as we came back the most senior person Keshava
Swamy , who is the centre head of the Trivandrum ilp addressed us , he talked
about why he joined tcs , why should we
join tcs , why is tcs is still in # 1 position and incteasing the gap
exponentially with the #2.
Then there was the documents verification ,
followed by the issue of the TCS ID cards , the trainees who’s photos were not
accepted we asked go to the photo centre for the snap , and they their id cards
on the next day morning.
The day very long , we had our dinner at the cafeteria , the
busses to manjeera were waiting outside and came back to manjeera at
almost 10 , the first day ended there
with a great sleep
