Do’s and Dont’s at Mysore campus



Here are a couple of things you need to keep in mind before dropping of to Infosys Mysore campus:





Things you should carry along to campus:
  1. Your formal wear, at least 5 of them
  2. some casual wear for saturdays and sundays. i would recommend atleast 3-4.
  3. matching Ties(very important as without ties you are not allowed in GEC), socks,belts
  4. A pair of each formal and casual shoes
  5. A guitar if you love playing one.
  6. Ipods are absolutely must if you dont wanna go insane with all the studies(everybody needs to relax with some quality music)
  7. Tennis,badminton,squash rackets if you play(Squash is an amazing game you should try)
  8. Most importantly carry a credit or international debit card so that you can pay your expenses for the first month. also you will not get laundry coupons if you dont have a credit/debit card.
Things you may or may not carry(as you can buy them in campus):
  1. nail cutters
  2. pens, pencil, copies and all kinds of stationary
  3. your face washes and creams(but if its  a rare product you should carry along)
  4. Umbrellas/rain coats.. rains in Mysore is like sand in desert.. its everywhere and there is hell lot of it.
Things you should not bring:
  1. LAPTOPS
  2. cds/dvds/pendrives most data carriers excluding phones and iPods.
  3. Towels and bed sheets(you ll be provided with them).
  4. Soaps, mugs,etc
Here is a list of things you should not do in Mysore campus
  1. Smoking inside your hostel rooms, every room has a smoke sensor, you ll be in trouble
  2. Roaming late night on campus roads with your new girl/boy friend.. Your parents might not like the idea (kiddin).
  3. Do not enter the campus gates when you are drunk, some people were to pass the drinking test while entering, they got caught and were taken to infy campus medical clinic and were made to pay heavy penalties.
  4. i wont say Don’t play games in your PC’s but please do not get caught(fines ranging from 3,000 to 5,000)
  5. Please do not push the security alarms and run away for fun(we use to do it), there are security cc cameras that are recording these stupidities..I got caught once..it was ugly :>
  6. No smoochy smoochy on Infosys campus roads ;)
Here is what you will find in infosys campus:
  1. There are 3-5 ATM centers namely GEC(Global education center), ILI, ECC(Employ care center), Food Courts.
  2. Almost every hostel has a attached Laundromat where you can iron your clothes yourself and also get them washed in machines
  3. Reception where you ll get tickets for Laundromats, recently tickets are made available at Laundromats itself.
  4. There are at least one cycle stand in front of every major building, Mysore campus has more than 2000 cycles
  5. There are 3 SDB(Software Development centers), the senior folks sit in these centers and work their ass off to bring infy money to build campuses like Mysore Infosys campus
  6. In your room you find coffee mugs, LCD screen, a nice bed, an Elmira, a electronic safe box, a study table, a chair, a sofa, a full size mirror, an awesome bathroom, a boiler, an extra chair, blankets and pillow, an AC(you ll never feel the need to use it).
  7. There are 3 or 4 courier services available to send and receive packages to and from home. it costs decent.
  8. There is a reliance web world,, my recommendation is don’t use it,, rather go for cyber cafe’s outside,, they don’t even allow to attach your mobile devices to their PC’s in Reliance web world.
  9. There are large no of cafes in every food court there are 6 food courts, my favorite was near hostel 79.

Just one question, can you sneak people into the bedroom to stay over night? I am not asking if it is allowed though!
