Today we all woke up late and went to the city in the afternoon. We saw Mysore palace there and got our service agreements notarized.Vrindavan Garden is about 25 kms from the palace so we dropped the idea. This weekend its Ugly Aur Pagli and Batman: The Dark Knight at the multiplex. 6 o clock show of Batman is already houseful, so we will go for the 9:30 show. The module test for CHSSC is on Tuesday. And ya, from now onwards, all module tests are at 8:30 in the morning which was at 9:00 AM before.
Thats all. No need to click on read more.

Hi chintan.....hows life.....bro i just wannna ask about pre-induction trning.....some guys had got d mail regarding that.......they r saying dat v hav to cmplete 4 months online trning b4 joining infy.......is dat true or just some rumours.....pls help me.....thnx bro in advance
August 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM
life is great in here...
yes, the online training is compulsory for those who got the mail... they will be directly put into stream when they come here.. so it doesnt make a difference that way... just that you will not get to enjoy the campus as much as long cycle people do...
August 3, 2008 at 12:46 AM

Hi must say you doing a great service by posting your daily experiences here. Especially for people like me who are still waiting for their joining date.
Are you in the long cycle batch or fast track?
And you wrote that module test is on Tuesday which means CHSSC module is only 3 days long??
August 3, 2008 at 10:56 AM
yes, you got it right... we are not told by any officials anything... all this is decided at bangalore but we can get an idea by the word going around.. and ya, you only have generic trainin online.. stream you have to do here.... so it will save your time and company's time also..
@Abhinav...
I am in LC... yes CHSSC is not 3 but only 4 days long..
August 3, 2008 at 5:22 PM
hi..u are doing a great job dude..
i wanted to ask that those who haven't got the mail can expect their joining to be in sep.?is there any possibiity that we get the mail now??thanks in advance...
August 3, 2008 at 11:03 PM
hey dude,
wat u r doin is really commendable.... wat i wanna know is, how do u manage to maintain ur clothes???? in the sense washing and ironing them??? r u doin it on ur own or is someone dere in de campus to do it for u??? if there's someone doin it for u, how much do they charge???
August 3, 2008 at 11:35 PM
@Sandeep...
DOJ is the most unpredictable thing.. No logic to it.. Yes, you can get the mail now also..
@Vishnu...
There are laundromats in here.
The charge is 20 Rs per wash. You can wash a bag full of clothes with it. There is also an iron in each room. So you have to iron by yourself. There is laundry service also but i am sure its costly coz noone uses it.
And ya, you can get the laundromat coupon by paying through debit cards only. No cash. And also your own detergent powder.
August 4, 2008 at 12:16 AM
hey chintan...
great job dude..

August 4, 2008 at 8:04 PM
@Chintan
Can you do me a favour by conirming the criteria of joining.
Our criteria at time of appearing for interview was 65/65/60 and I have got 82 in tenth 75 in twelfth and 63% in my degree.
Will it remain same at time of joining or 65% are required.
Please do confirm from HR and reply because many people say it will do but others make me nervous by telling that 65% are compulsory.
August 4, 2008 at 9:33 PM
@Ranjan..
The criteria changes from uni to uni and i cant tell about your university.. You can mail to lopamudra_basu@infosys.com to know more... She is there for all this aggre related queries.

hieee...
ur posts r f gr8 help... :)
in a reply u said data cards are allowed for net access there..but r personal laptops allowed there??
do reply coz this really really cr8ing confuz'n.
August 5, 2008 at 7:40 PM
@Satish...
You dont need to have the passport but you shud have the receipt of having applied for it.. Even i dont have passport. Just had the receipt. Also take 2 zeroxes of that receipt.
@Ramesh,
Actually i am finding it hard to keep up now..
@Shruti...
The service agreement may reach your home after you come here. In that case, you will be told by them where you have to take your parents signatures. Then they can mail it back to you here. This was the same case with me. And they give you much time to do that. It is not that serious in terms of time. Many people from 7th july batch are also yet to submit the agreements. At most, they will withhold your salary till you submit the agreement. But you will be paid it fully after you submit it. Parents are not required for any other formalities.
@Anonymous..
Stream specific is fasttrack you can say... You will be directly alloted a stream like .NET, Mainframes or Open Systems etc. when you come here. And its the same for fasttrack people. So it is same as fasttrack.
Yes, there is confusion there. Because at that time, there were no news of this online training. So i cant say for sure about your DOJ. The thing is that they are trying to train non CSIT people online so that we wont waste their time and resources here in generic training. And also you people are free to do it. So its basically that they are trying to save their time and your time.
@nits
Yes, i have said in the same post that i use it on my laptop. And this doubt is primitive now.. Everything is allowed... Just that you need to declare it to the security which is just a formality...
August 5, 2008 at 7:59 PM
ok thx buddy..so today u had d 1st module(CHHSC) exam na??? how was it 4 u and 4 ur entire batch???
August 5, 2008 at 8:12 PM
one more query...after completing dis online trning whether we hv to give fast track test or will we b directly put into streams in mysore?????....and modules like pf and dbms is included in dis online trning...as dis 2 modules are also dere in all d fast track streams...
so do we hv to go through dis modules again in our stream trning in mysore?????thx in advance
August 5, 2008 at 9:21 PM
i dont know that much about it... better ask this to some HR...
August 5, 2008 at 10:23 PM
