What does My-infy has instored for you??

1. This is the most important question of the day….u don’t need to be great at programmer when u r joining as a Fresher. Guys don’t be in thoughts that u r going to be future hi fundu Programmer. The only time during which u do some serious programming is during training and u need not be skeptical if ur non comp sci student. Infy teaches every thing from basics. Now infy does not throw out anyone(Until You screwUp pretty bad u will get plenty of chances to pass all the test. Infosys trainings is not very tough but u need to put in some extra efforts.Currently Infy training runs for 6-8 months depending upon if you are a Comp-sci student, or a non-comp-sci student, or you are put into finacle. Generally finacle and non –comp batches have to stay for almost 8 months to complete their training. If you don’t perform well in any of the exams, you’ll be given a second chance, but if you flunk the second chance too,, then that particular module will be considered as dead,, In a particular training you can make only 66% of the module dead. so, attend classes carefully. Forget that you are no more a student for three months. After almost a couple of weeks of hecktick training the moment of joy finally arrives when you get your first pay,, ADVICE:- take out some money to pay ur tribute to GOD and tell ur parents as soon as you receive the msg from ICICI bank that sallary has been credited in your account, They ll be happier.
2. It doesn’t matter wheather your background is CS or non-CS.Some people are from Construction, Mechanical, Civil, Printing, Chemical and different streams of Engineering. they got same exposure, same salary(around 13,500 for guys and 14,500 for girls ), same treatment, same knowledge. don’t think a CS student would be in advantageous position. All are same, Girls get extra sallary cause they share rooms and guys get single rooms  (lucky we).

Generally our training will be broken up into 2 parts. the first part will be a generic program, which will give us basic take on comps in general during that they teach us abt networking, C , DBMS(oracle) and a few other very basic concepts like basic java and all. U have to give tests for individual modules which are online tests multi-choice having NEGATIVE marking.  All is from the course material popularly know as Champak u should be thorough with the course material thats all. At the ends of the genric program u have to write a comprehensive exam, which is in three parts. One 50% of marks which is similar to the online tests u would have taken but with -ve mkng and 50% for the HandsOn practical examination. Though HandsOn seems to be tough but trust me guys, its going to save your ass more than a couple of times for sure,, just practice the daily assignments that you are given after the tutor is done with the daily theory part. After that u will be allotted to a specific stream.Different Streams They can allot you are:

• JAVA: If you get JAVA U ll love the Stream Days,, You ll be able to enjoy all the facilities of Mysore campus when others are working there ass off.
• MAINFRAME: These are a bit unlucky cause they ll have to put in a lot of effort. To execute a code that’s only 4 lines long they ll have to code another 100 lines,, which makes there life a bit miserable. BUT wait,, the good news is,,, its an absolute golden chance to be in MAINFRAMES cause almost all the Fortune 100 companies have most of the data in mainframes servers, So if you know mainframes ythen IT industry will always be in love with you and you ll easily get projects and promotions where ever you go.
• Dot. NET: its as good as java, but the only problem is that you ll get lots of errors,, that to without any reason,, the code that’s not  working today will work the next day absolutely fine and that too without any change,, people who goto dot neet will enjoy it until they reach the 4^th module i.e ADO which crashes many of the 5 pointers. (god bless their soule).
• Open System(OS): guys This is the Toughest Stream you can get into.. we people would never ever want to be a part of this stream simply because it was far above our level(I am not shy to admiting the fact that I might have peed in my pants if I was put in this stream). I guess INFY only puts absolute 5 ptrs in this stream.
• FINACLE: Generally people are not sent in this stream but some batches from 2009 were given a chance to learn finacle,, here they give you knowledge of the one and only infy prooduct i.e FINACLE. Its easy and you ll enjoy hell lot during training.

to Clear all the exams please go for the slides,, guys if you are thorough with slides,, mark my words noone can fail you. u just don’t need to go for any training before hand…becoz even if u know everything…it doesn’t matter …coz the Slides are the bible… project allocation is totally depends upon INFY.if u have any choice or interest they can’t help u.Its totally depends on their business requirement. Enterprise Systems has highest market value…there are also many mainframes project with infy.so if u do c,java,vb etc before joining it wud not help in training as

1. What they will teach u is different

2. U doesn’t know which specific stream u get there. e.g. if u get open system then java,vb which u did before training wud not help same in the case with internet stream i.e. if u do c beforehand then it wud not help in internet stream. And nothing wud help if u get mainframes as it has COBOL programming.

The facilities at mysore are down to earth. they will provide u cycle to move around. Hostels wud be on twin sharing basis for girls and single for guys ,, good news for girls is that now they are providing single rooms to girls also but its just pure luck that you ll get it or not. So Chillax… and enjoy your rest of the days in full throttle…if still u r thinking of some pre joining preparation then….nobody can suggests u.do whatever u want but don’t think that it wud help in your training due to above mentioned facts.

Time of Training

Training timings are fixed, You will have to reach in your class rooms by 9, after that your educator wont allow you to come in,, so please take care, the session will be divided into a couple of parts. The theory classes begin at sharp 9 followed by  a break at around 10:30, it’s a tea break for 15-20 mins after which the session will resu,e till 12 o clock. From 12 to 2 is luinch time, nearest food courts will be one present is GEC2 i.e ARENA(name of foodcourt) and FC1(i.e food court one). From 2-5 you ll be having lots of assignments for your handson practice, after 5 o clock you can leave but make sure you have clocked in minimum of 9:15 hours(i.e difference b/w swipein and swipeout). There are lots of best books in C, RDBMS, Java. Do refer to them,,, they ll be of great help. If you don’t wanna refer to other books then slides provided will be more than sufficient. But you’ll have to read them thoroughly.
But no book is there to match with their “syllabus”Don’t get afraid, if you study the study-materials well, you’ score a good mark.
Ask someone working in a good company about infy training, he will tell u Infy training is the best in India. My friend told infy training is the best and u will have a very bright future after 2 years. he also told me, just concentrate on your job in Infosys for 2 years and then change to some other company and then apply for some good Executive management program from good institute. Just go ahead and do good in infy.

Facilities

Hope it helps…

Have funn!!
