Hi Infoscions,
Finally a post about your company after a long time. :)
Now as we know, every company has its own unique way of cutting costs and firing people.
L&T Infotech would delay joinings as far as March-April next year so people would appear for competitive exams and go for higher studies.
Wipro would ask engineers selected for Wipro IT to work for Wipro BPO.
Now, learn the Infosys way.
Infosys would make training tests tougher. Yes people, tests at Infosys are tougher than ever. One of my friend told me that Generic Compre is yet to be taken and already 25 people have been made to leave out of 200.
When i was with Infosys, 25 people may have been made to leave only before Stream Compre. The tests are getting tougher and so are the rules.
Recently, they caught people who shared assignments or even old question papers by mail and fined them 2000 Rs. each! Thats not all, they have also been given a warning that if they are caught next time, they would be made to leave. And as you would be knowing, no experience letter is given if you are terminated from the company on disciplinary grounds.
So those of you who already fear training, fear it some more. And ya, do think about options. Seems like they are eagerly finding silly reasons to make trainees leave.
One more thing I would like to tell is that I am not telling all this to scare you but to make you people aware of the condition there so that you can be better prepared for your career.

@Tashakor...
No, this is not good considering the fact that there were no exits from my class of 100 till the end of generic training. Also, this number is without compre results which makes it a big number.

@Vikky...
If your cutoff is equal to or more than what they announced for you, then you dont need to worry.. You wont be asked to leave if you are on the border... But if you are below the required cut off, then you will surely have to leave...

bt I think its less... I was into another cmpny... TechM, and there, I was rejected. About 25 were rejected from our batch of 50.... So infy is much better...

But its much more than what it was last year... (5%) .. And also, this is just at the end of generic training when everyone is supposed to have passed...

@Srikanth...
You can learn for your own sake. Not necessary as a preparation before joining.

Hello Sir
I had received a mail from infyu regarding the campus connect programme but really soon i am going to face my final end semester exams( from 5 May). It do not me mention the exact details about the time period or the deadline in which it is to be completed. Kindly help me out, what steps i should take. I am from the Computers stream and had got 7th December as my date of joining.
Waiting to hear from you.

@Saurabh...
The campus connect program is not compulsory to finish or even start.
It is just for your own skill enhancement. As you are from CS, i dont think you need that so badly. Still you can try whatever you can manage to study for your own sake.
Considering your DOJ, you will get plenty of time to prepare well for training.
