Time slot allottment and joining procedure on DOJ

From recent comments on my blog, I have come to know that now there is also a time on which you have to report on campus instead of just the date.

If you ask anyone who has already joined, they will tell you that this arrangement was very much needed.

Usually there used to be too much rush which became unmanageable for them.


At about 11 AM and after 3-4 PM there used to severe rush when they found it very difficult to register everyone's laptops (wont be needed now :) ) and electronic equipment. This happens at the main entrance gate.

After this, they will check your offer letter and some other confirmation like driving license or passport to make sure that You is yOU. :)

They, you will be made to sit in their golf cart or a Tata Sumo and another such vehicle will take your luggage with it to the registration counter.

At the registration desk, they will check each and every pocket of every bag of yours to make sure you dont have anything which should not be brought inside the campus. They wont spare a single pocket.

After this you will all stand in a queue to get the keys to your rooms. So naturally, friends standing together will get rooms close by.

Your checked luggage will be carried in a golf cart to the building number of your hostel. You will need to walk to your building number.

When you reach there, your luggage would already be lying on the entry to your hostel. Just pick your own luggage and go to your room.

When you enter the rooms, there wont be anything missing or anything which is not working. The plasma TV would be ready to serve you your favorite channels, coffee maker with which you can make tea/coffee for yourself and hot water in the shower.

Beds would already be made and the room will be very clean.

Why the time slot on DOJ?

So coming back to my original intention of creating this post, the time slot will help them organize this entire procedure which takes about 1-2 hours for each of you.

1000 trainees are called on every DOJ. About 60-70% of them join. (In my batch, from 1000, 634 joined).

So if these 600-700 people are divided into about 80-100 people for a slot of 1 hour, the whole joining process will be really smooth for them and also for you.

To make sure it happens this way, they have given you time slots and also have warned you to come on time or you will be allowed in only after 6:30 PM. This is much like all extension candidates being called together for training in March the next year no matter what their original DOJ was.

I request all of you to comply with their instructions to report on the respective time slots because waiting at the door and staring at beautiful buildings like GEC-2 and the Multiplex wont be a good experience. :)
