How to choose project after ILP( experience of my friend)

This document will give u a clear idea how to proceed with Post ILP stuffs, Awesome bench period and how to select project in TCS :)

 Those who donot have a clear idea what will done Post ILP.. 

This is the post which u have to read..

On your last day of ur ILP,U will be given a release letter. The release letter will contain the posting location name and the name of the person whom u have to report to.

Let me tell you with my experience!!!!!!

My last day of ILP was on dec 31st 2010. (Last day of that year as well ). Our batch was one of the craziest batch. If there is any problem in ILP they will come and enquire us only!!!!

But what is the good thing is if any exam comes, Its our batch (Business Intelligence) which will score more. So TCS guys cannot do anything.

Our semester CHN09 was the first batch where noone was retained because of poor performance. 

Those who are retained will have to go a spl training and they will be released along with the next batch guys...

First day @ Chennai 1:

Still could remember Jan3 , 2011!!!! They asked us to report us @ 8 AM!!!

But we all came at 7 30 itself... But RMG guys came at 11 only..

We were simply sitting in Cafetaria with no work!!!

Then these RMG people came and allotted the domains for us...

I was put in Telecom domain... I was not at all happy because no girls :( :(

It was purely random as always!

But one good thing what i learnt there was, i enjoyed the bench time :) :) <3 Awesome period.

Most of the time i will be in home. If i come to office i will play TT there in office :) :)

Heavenly life :) :)

Got a shock on Jan 19, 2011. Got a project in Motorola and i am in it till present!!!! :)

Now a general view about Post ILP:

Before that i just wanna clarify the type of projects available in TCS

1. Development

2. testing

3. Support

I prefer u guys to opt Development, testing and then go for support.

On basis of time, Development will have general shifts, testing will have shifts, Support will also have shifts along with shifts in weekend.

Note one more thing, TCS has 60-70% Support projects only!!!!!!! So be wise and select the project!!!!

If your second phase of ILP is in X place, then ur Post ILP also will be 90% there only!!!!!

So if you wanna change the place of ur post ILP location, Only Hr can do it. with a valid reason!!

Important Advice:

1. Request u guys to be patient till u get project.

2. Till 6 months if ur not there assigned a project, Nothing wrong :) :) Ur lucky enough... (There is many ppl from TCS 2011 groups who are still in bench enjoying life )

3. Please select a project wisely. Donnot chose projects which is away from ur stream. if ur from java try to get project from Java itself. Wait till u geta good project. RMG will brain wash you, but pls be firm and confident.

4. Girls its advisable not to go for support. Shift will be there. I don think many will be ok with it..

Night shifts are there.

5. The person who gives interview to u will really brain wash u if thats a support project. But be wise enough. if u don like ur project. tell u are not interested, nothin wrong. Just understand it.

6. Once ur into project, Its very tough to come out. Your project manger has to release you. You cant come out.

7. Donot take Internal projects. No scope at all!!!

Guess u ppl are clear.. Just a basic idea.. Guess this is enough for now!!!!!

cheers :)
