After a long journey of about 2600 kilometers, I was finally about to reach there. It was the beginning point of my new life, new journey to a new destination. And as obvious, my heart was filled with innumerous thoughts and emotions. Yes, I was going there, Infosys Technologies.
Finally, I reached the gate, gate to a new world for which I felt that I had waited for a long time. Infosys has its training center in Mysore. It is the biggest corporate university in the world. Any fresher recruited in Infosys first comes here for training. The moment you enter the gate, everything changes. Life has totally different standards inside the campus. It feels a perfect place to start the professional life.
Infosys provides excellent living & working conditions to its employees with world class facilities. It seems a compensation for working hard & efficiently but it is what we are here for & being paid for.
The starting days have less work load & I tried to explore the huge campus (though still I find many unexplored places). It is like a small modern city. First of all, it has two huge buildings called as GEC 1 & 2 (Global Education Center) which can altogether accommodate about 13500 trainees at a given time. In the morning you can see thousands of them marching towards these buildings & they disappear inside the buildings. During the working hours, while walking in the huge, silent & empty corridors, you can’t imagine that so many of them are in the same building.
There are rules for everything & you can find large number & variety of security personnel to monitor security as well as enforce the rules. Regarding facilities, there is a nice swimming pool, multiplex, gym & all popular kind of sports for employees including rock climbing, squash, lawn tennis, table tennis, badminton, volleyball, football, basketball, cricket etc. You can also enjoy many other activities like music, yoga etc. Apart from this, all the things & facilities necessary for living are inside this campus. It makes the life of trainees easier as they do not have to run outside campus for small things.
For living, they have hotel kind of buildings, which they call hostel with single rooms for everyone with attached bathroom. There is a big bed with cable TV (yeah, its LCD, remember I said its like hotel) and as one can imagine, you have everything there to live a good life (though only for training duration).
But, regarding training, life is really tough, as they say, everything comes for a price. But the quality of training is excellent & once a person completes the training, he or she is no more the same.
A small note for prospective Infoscions
Dear Friends! I am overwhelmed to see so many people asking questions about Infosys. Being my first job, it will always remain close to my heart.
I understand your anxiety before joining Infosys as I also went through it and that’s why I try to answer each and every query as per my knowledge and awareness. But I can only help you with what I have experienced in Infosys as an employee.
A lot of questions are asked again and again which I have already answered. Please read all my replies/comments before asking anything so as to avoid asking questions which I have already replied to others.
I have also written a series of articles about my detailed experience during Infosys Mysore Training. You can find it here: https://abhineet.in/series/infosys-mysore-training-a-walk-to-cherish-for-life/
I hope my articles and replies are useful to you. Have a great time!

Hello sir,
I got placed in Infosys as System Engineer and DOJ is June 2013. Its told I would under go an online training for few months before going to Mysore campus. Will there be an online training or I would join Mysore campus on the specified date.
I have no information about this new format of online training.
Thnx for ur kind rply. My doj is on 5th Aug 2013. Usually how many days before can i get the mail from infy regardng the medical tests and pre-joining requisites. Pls rply me. Thnx in advance.
you can get just before 7-8 hours as in my case……
In my case, I got the mail 2 weeks before my joining date.
Hi abhineet. Thank u so much for answering all our questions with a lot of patience. Our college is registered with Infosys campus connect program and we didn’t undergo any training during our B.Tech. Does it shows any effect on us? Please rply me. Thnx in advance.
Thank you for the kind words. The pleasure is all mine.
Regarding your query, it should not be a problem.
sir
my DOJ is 22 april ,on 2 april i recevied mail from infy saying that u have to reach on gate no. 2 on 21 april from (pam to 1 pm ).they also mentioned that 9pm is the last checkin time .but since i booked my ticket 1 month earlier so i will be reaching bangalore airport around 3:20 on 21 april (day before joining).and then from airport to mysore i think it will take 4-6 hrs .so what will happen “if i reach infy after 9 pm ” .they will allow me entering campus or not.
thankyou
reply soon as i will be joining 22 april ………
As you cannot change your flight at this point of time, you should convey this to HR and ask them to allow you to enter the campus at that time..
If I get posted in some other branch of Infosys for the probation period which I haven’t mentioned in the preference, can i leave the company without paying the compensation amount?
you cannot get experience certificate without paying compensation..
can u plz elaborately say me abt d hostel nfood facilities out der..??
do dey charge for hostel n fooding..??
I have already answered this earlier.
hey abhineet thanks alot for this.. you cleared most of my doubts… but still some are remaining.. can u help me..
1) whether we can cook of our own? i.e is gas available in rooms?
2)do we also have off during public holidays and big festivals like diwali etc..
3)if we r not allowed to take our own laptop do v hav our own PC in room?
1) No, you cannot cook in hostels.
2) Yes, you will have holidays as per normal holiday list.
3) At my time of training, personal laptops and PC were not allowed. Scenario should still be the same.
do we have a temple inside the infosys campus? please answer
No temple inside the campus. But there is a temple near campus which is maintained by Infosys.
Hello sir,
I have been selected for infosys on 10th Nov 2012.
I want to know that is there any medical test being done by infosys prior to the joining.If Yes, what are they?
Yes, you have to undergo some medical tests before joining. You will get the details from Infosys in time.
Thank you so much and i’ll get back to u if i hav any queries reg infy. ofcourse your previous replies answered all my questions and the last query is, i don’t hav a passport, will they allow me into the training process without having passport.thnx in advance
Yes, there is a provision where you can join Infy without passport. As far as I remember, they will ask you for proof that you have applied for passport and you will have to undergo police background check in Mysore.

HI,
I got a 9 months experience in PHP during the waiting period for joining.
Is there any advantage at infy for me ?
It depends on the stream allocated to you. However, in general, if you have good knowledge of one programming language, it becomes easier to learn other programming languages.
I have placed at infosys on sep 2014. When will i get my offer letter.
Hi,
I am undergoing online program and DOJ is 18march13.Actually at the time of interview I wrongly entered my name and so was printed on offer letter.Is there any facility to change name at time of joining.
Also specify how joining procedure on that date.
Please contact Infosys.

1. At my time, I got agreement after reaching Infosys and it was notarized there only.
2. They will just verify your documents.
3. It was there during my joining. Should be the same even now.
4. I think it should work. But contact Infosys to confirm.

THANKYOU SIR IN ADVANCE
I HOPE U HELP ME
I have already replied this to others. Please read my earlier comments on posts in following category: https://abhineet.in/lifeatinfosys/
hi
my question is that after the training i want not to get any project because i want to prepare for gate.
so in which DC i need to apply
& during training time is it necessary that i need to regularly visit my DC for my attendence and waste my day without any work.
also i would like to know
Q2)WHAT WILL BE MY SALARY AFTER TRAINING IF I WILL BE ON BENCH? THEY WRITTEN THAT”your monthly Total Gross Salary will be a maximum of Rs. 27,084″
Getting a project is usually in not your hand.
There is no DC where you can get guarantee of no work.
Yes you have to maintain 9:15 hours even if you are on bench.
Irrespective of whether you are on bench or in project, your salary will be the same.
Incidentally Abhineet,
the guide is also available as an iphone app at the following link:
http://www.guidegecko.com/iphone -app.html
Hope this will be easier to access as it is priced at $0.99 only.
Regards,
Mrs. Krishnamurthy
Thank You Abhineet. Wish you a great 2013!
Mrs. Krishnamurthy
I wish you the same.. 🙂
Hi,
Your blog is so popular. Random search on google leads me here. Do you have any idea is there any mosque (masjid) near infosys campus. I have never ever been to mysore.
Your quick reply would be appreciated.
Thanks,
M.khan
I am not aware of any mosque near Infosys Mysore campus.
why infosys delaying DOJ of 2012 Freshers?? Whether postpone it again ?what is going on there @infosys
Hi Renju,
The hiring is done by a different department and production people are not aware of it. May be someone from HR department may answer your question.
hi,
my doj in infy mysore is 19 nov’12…due to some unavoidable reasons i won’t be able to join it on 19 nov….bt i don’t want my offer to be cancelled or delayed..it would be convenient if get my joining after 1st dec’12….i don’t want it to be further postpone.. i am really messed up..plz suggest something…how to manage this…and if this is not possible then is there any way of getting leave from 30 nov to 2nd dec after joining on 19 nov..plz help!!!!!!
You can extend your joining date. I remember there was a provision for this at my joining time. It should still be there. Yes you may get leave during training, but you may miss a exam, if scheduled during that period.
