3>> now it is 105 days i suppose.
4>> there are canteens in towers, so u need to buy it.
5>> U wont stay there for long, Ahmedabad is a very good place to live, its cheaper than bangalore,chennai,hyderabad,………
Hi guys i too selected in TCS….Got Call on Nov 23rd at Ahmedabad….
Can any1 of u can plz say how the CT Ref will b usefull at ILP…….
Plz reply….
what u be clear on what u what u want to know.
hi this is bipra banerjee from kolkata…..i have got the joining at Ahemdabad on 23rd of november. i hv few quries…….
1>are laptops allowed ?
2>Iron is allowed to carry by our own?
3>how many examinations we have to face?
………….plz reply………..
Hi bipra,
1>> Yes, laptops are allowed.
2>> U can carry it but be carefull btw.
3>> there is a new pattern in ILP now so it will be different. we have 5 exams.
HI VAMSI…
I have a few questions fr u.
1)Is the decision on assigning ppl to support/development/testing/bpo taken as per the pretest performance or the overall performance in the ILP?
2)Are ppl with IT background preferred for development?
Finally,
3)Although the terms are so commonly used, what do support/development/testing/bpo really mean as far as the employee is concerned. What will he/she be working with when, say, in BPO or Testing?
Hi Sharath,
1>> NO., its pure luck to get a develop / support / testing project, nothing matters there. No MARKS nothing.
2>> NOPE. nothing like that.
3>> BPO is not technical support, u will be acting as a customer care service agent. many say it different but this is my opinion. support is technical support, U wont develop code but u will be asked to maintain others code. Development means u user your brains a lot but no money. testing test developers code, kill him if there are bugs, PL will kill you if there are undetected bugs.
Hope this clarifies
Hey vamsi…nice wrk

about ur queries…
1>> Yes u can. Just go with ur friends and write ur names in a regiter thats it done. U got ur room. U cant choose room.
2>> Girls are in different apartment.
3>> U can enjoy there in ahmedabad. But some times u will need to work on weekends to complete some assignments.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Hi,
Thnx alot guys, especially Vamsi.. Thank u very much fr ur faster and clear response..
Note :- Jus nw got cal frm TCS, tat my trainin has been re-scheduled from Nov 23rd to Nov 30th, and not at Ahmedabad, bt at Trivandrum..
Confused………….??????????!!!!!!!!!!!******
hi vamsi……..
i have a few doubts regarding notary and attestation……..
i) tcs told to hav notary on rs.100 stamp….or two rs.50….
but i am able to get only rs.20 stamp ……..can i proceed with five rs.20 stamp????
ii) attestation on photocopy of all docs can be done by the notary person or doctor???
hi vamsi, thankz for ur great job.
i ‘m placed in tcs(2009 batch).in the nextstep portal,some study materials are given under “pre-engagement phase”.what is this “pre-engagement program”?.should i study those materials(given in “pre-engagement program”) before joining ilp?(im from non it stream).i’m very much worried about the pretest.
Hi Divya,
Dont worry about pre-test, it is not tough just general computer knowledge. i suggest u read those materials, they will be helpful.
All the best for ur career in TCS.
hi….i have to join TCS , Ahmadabad on 30 NOV,09…..
my queries are—
1) i have my birth certificate in marathi…is it necessary to get it translated in English?
Will the birth affidavit in English be enough? Because i am having problems in getting a duplicate birth certificate in English.
2) can i have 2 days holidays,so that i can give my CAT exam scheduled on 5th Dec,09 in Bhopal?
thanks in advance……bye
Hi Avanti,
1>>yes. Ur birth certificate needs to be translated t english. U can manage with tcs, they will give some time, to get it changed. Birth affidavit is enough just attest it with some officer.
2>> U can take sick leave. but needs to get permission from ur head. BTW mentors are friendly they are jailers and u r not prisoners.
All the best.
