Training Begins…

Posted on March 8, 2012April 5, 2023 by Abhineet Mittal

As you would have read in my last post of this series, we all were very much excited about Infy training. After the formal induction week, started the real training, the technical training. As per our training schedule, we had three stages of training: Generic (basic), Intermediate & Stream (specialization). Soft skills training was also a part of the training and sessions were scheduled in between the regular technical training.

In the starting of the training, we were given different colour tags, like the various houses in our schools. Each one of us was given a colour tag out of seven colours which were based on seven initial founders of the company. All the extracurricular activities were held between these seven teams. I was given red tag.

So, we had our first technical module. Full of energy, I studied hard and scored a good grade. That first module made me realize that Infy has very high quality study material, though the trainers were good, not excellent. After our first exam in Infy, we were again given a nice break in the form of PSD (Personality Skills Development) classes. A fashion show was organized with the theme of business dressing etiquette.

This was the time when the trainees were getting comfortable with each other. I made lots of new friends and we had great fun all the time. The fashion show gave us a chance to know even more people and work as a team. I came to know a lot of good people and we together presented a nice show. We stood second.

After the fashion show, the generic training resumed which spanned for nearly a month. The attitude of people was changing. The training pressure was increasing. A few people left the company in this period. Few ran away after they got failed in a module test. I was not sure what went wrong as I was happy with the training. I was learning new things the way I always wanted to learn them.

There was a very nice musical fountain in front of the training building (GEC-2, Global Education Center-2). It was put on for an hour in the evening and many of us used to sit there to get relaxed from the training pressure. It sometimes played Infosys Song (a very nice theme song for Infosys) and I used to enjoy it.

Infosys Mysore has an awesome Employee Care Center with almost all the imaginable facilities including a very nice multiplex, where we had our induction sessions. Movies were showcased every weekend in that and was free for us. I loved to stand in the long queue for tickets with friends 2 hours before the ticket distribution began.

In our class, a strange trend began. A family was formed. There was a “Papa”, a “Mummy”, a “Bua” (aunt), a “Chaachoo” (uncle), many kids, a “Dada” (grandpa), a “Dadi” (grandma) and padosi (neighbors). The Papa was actually a girl and the Mummy was actually a boy. This was the biggest funny family and we used to call each other by these names. We also had a “Musa Bhai”. She was kind of our training world don. Bua left us after the generic training and was shifted to another batch. However, she regularly visited us till the training end.

So, with all the emotions, we completed a phase of training. We were now a huge group of people who had great fun everyday.

      Why is it bad luck?
      No need to worry about training. It will be one of the best periods of your life. It is not advisable to postpone training, specially in the current market scenario.

    Hi Abhineet !
    I am waiting for my MBA 4 sem results. Some 7 days before infosys came to our campus and I cleared the technical round along with 4 other students.Next day all 5 of us appeared for the HR round and then they told our placement officer that all 5 have been selected for Associate consultant post. Yesterday 3 of us received username password.

    When shall i expect an offer letter if we are supposed to join hyderabad campus for training in may 2013.

      Hi Dinesh,
      Can you please elaborate a bit as I did not get your question.
      Do you want to know that whether a person can attend Infosys Training without getting selected in Infosys?
      If this is what you intended to ask, then unfortunately the answer is NO.

      If you are joining as an employee, you will get salary during training. For accommodation, food etc., you will have to pay.

    Hi dear abhineet!
    This is vineet from AP. I just have two questions for you. One, what is the bond amount one has to pay if he decides to leave training. Second, if anyone fails deliberately in the Training period, does he have to pay the bond amount?? If yes, then how much. This is a very important clarification for me brother. Please understand. Coz, I am preparing for gate 13. If I get call from PSUs(those recruiting through GATE-13), I will be happy to leave infosys. Please reply ASAP. DOJ is 26, Nov 2012.

      Bond money depends on many factors and only HR can tell you that when you actually try to leave company while still under probation.

      Hi Sunil,
      As I have said repeatedly in many replies, I have no idea of how joining dates are decided for new joinees.
      You can connect with those who got the joining dates for this year so that you can get a fair estimate about that.
      Regarding the selection by reference, can you please elaborate your selection process?

    This is Harman again, i have received a letter of Intent from Infosys which includes my Job Level and Salary package on May 9. And i have also heard from someone that their joining will be on August 15, 2012 and that student is of BTech, but i’m of BCA. So do i think that my joining will also be in August.????

      New batches keep joining every week, not only on August 15. So, untill you get your offer letter, there is no way you can be sure of your joining date.

      Regarding your query, I am not aware of any such call. But, may be for some verification they would be calling. Dont worry about it.
      Did you get a joining date?

    Sir,
    My friend got a phone call from yesterday from Infosys and asked various matters like DoB,Address,hobbies,inspiring person etc.

    Is it a usual procedure? Will Infosys make phone calls to all selected students?
    Had you any such experience ?

      Amal, I am not aware of such phone calls.
      Make sure it was a call from Infosys only and not a fake call.
      However, Infy may have such process and it cannot be denied that such call may be authentic.

      You are right Mahesh, but that Facilities card was not only for movies. It was also for badminton, rock climbing and many other games. Rs. 150 seemed a negligible amount for so many facilities. 🙂
