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!

Try finding out the helpline number or email id mentioned during or after your campus drive. You can also try emailing them on the official id mentioned on their website.
I do not work for Infosys anymore and this is not an official channel of Infosys. I can only help you with what I experienced being a part of Infosys.
I hope it helps.

Hi Sir,
Your comments have been very useful.
However I have some doubts. I had gotten placed in Infosys and am eager to join. I am currently in my 8th semester in Chennai and have got a Final Sem Internship program offer form Infosys.
1. Will there be any delay or issues regarding my actual training offer letter arrival if i decline this internship and do not show up.
2. If i do accept this internship, will I be allowed to go back weekly to my college in Chennai to complete my final sem project and internal examinations?
Awaiting a reply pls. Thank you!
Glad to know that my comments are useful to you. Regarding your question, I have limited knowledge about internship program as I joined Infosys full-time after my graduation.

Infosys usually recruit through campus placement drives. If you are an engineering student, you can get this opportunity if Infosys visits your campus for placement drive or you can look out for some off-campus placement drive of Infosys.
