First Day @ TCS ILP

First Day @ TCS ILP

On 5^th 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  7^th floor of the B block, both the 7^th and 8^th 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
