I felt this post to be necessary considering the recent increase in the number of trainees being asked to leave.
If you are not able to clear training, dont be disappointed and sit idle thinking that your world has come to an end. Dont give disappointment any time to set in and quickly start searching for alternatives. Move on with life.
I know that it is easier said than done but having gone through all that, I can say that things do fall in place quickly. I had to move from Mysore to my home with a very short notice but eventually, it didnt matter much. You quickly get adjusted to the new life.
Start searching for alternatives quickly. Dont think that you will now enjoy a vacation for about 1-2 months and then will look for a job. Early moves really help. I subscribed to Times of India as soon as I was back at home and as you know, I applied to one of the job postings in that newspaper and got a new job within one month.
Sign up with various job sites like Monster, Naukri, TimesJobs. I had got quite a few calls from some companies through them but decided not to go for interview as most of them were marketing jobs though in IT field only. I dont like to travel from city to city trying to sell some product to people which is similar to medical reprsentatives trying to sell something like lung cancer drugs to doctors.
Finally, Infosys training is a great value addition to your resume. But remember, it can only help you to get an interview call and doesnt go any furthur than that. Every company will surely assess you according to their criteria. So you need to be well prepared and not rely on the Infy brand alone.

@Hitesh...
Your bad english makes it difficult for me to get your meaning. Anyways, I cant do anything about your training. If you have even a little knowledge about Infosys then you would surely be knowing that Infosys does not give training just like that. You need to be selected through campus interviews. And also, you dont know that Infosys does not have any branch in Gujarat.

@Raju...
They are very strict about %age criteria.
You will be asked to leave even if you have 67.99%. So be careful.

Candidate should get 4 in both generic and stream or is it aggregate? can a candidate get 4.5 in generic and 3.5 in stream?

@Shriram...
Yes, you can have below 4 in generic/stream and above 4 in stream/generic to have final CGPA of 4.
You dont need to score above 4 in both generic and stream to pass.

Hello!
Infy people had set up a criteria of 60% in my college. But through the community I came to know that for many colleges its 63 or 68. Has their policy changed??

@Jayant...
Its a very well known fact that criteria is different for different colleges.
