Accommodation

Hi Friends,

I received a lot of queries about the accommodation during ILP. So, posting this information about the accommodation. Any queries/suggestions are welcome.

TCS provides accommodation during ILP. It may be in TCS hostel or in a hotel. They charge you for the accommodation. The same is deducted from your salary in a month or two after you complete your ILP. 2 candidates share a room. Rooms are neat and clean. There will be two beds, a table, a cupboard and attached toilet/bathroom. Rooms are cleaned daily and bed sheets are changed every week. They provide keys for the room and cupboard. Carry an extra lock/key and chain in case they don’t provide the key for the cupboard, which was the case with us.

I had ILP in Hyderabad. Our accommodation was in Kondapur, Hitech City. Our stay was in Hotel Supreme Landmark, just opposite Satyam office. Training centre was at 20 mins distance by bus. Rooms were very nice. There were 2 buildings. All the girls were in the main building, except on the ground floor. We were in the other building just opposite to the main building. On each floor there were 3 rooms and a common hall. In the hall, there was a TV, a sofa set and a water cooler, also a common bathroom. There was a cafeteria in the main building. Other than breakfast and dinner, it's a good place for completing assignments too :-)

This was my room shared with a guy from Kolkata. Very nice indeed, isn't it?

 

Joining Letter reverie...

Hi Friends,

Posting the article written by my friend. Here it goes,

well my joining letter stuff was a bit skewed.Everyone i knew had recieved the joining letter except me. when i called the concerned authority, they told your medical checkup record id missing, so you have to go to kolkata and attend the checkup again. As i had already donated much of my precious blood in bangalore, i was in no mood to do that again, and that too with the cost of enduring two overnight journeys to kolkata, never mention the accomodation hassles i would have undergone. So i told this HR person whom i called, that !@#$@#$@ medical report is misplaced by you, and its your duty to find where it is. It will be very difficult for me to go to Kolkata at this peak hour.

They found it, on 22nd of August, and mailed the joining letter the same day. And informed me to join ILP Bhubaneshwar on 28th of August.I recieved the mail just a day before i was about to leave. Else i had thought of accosting the concerned officials empty handed, but TCS didn't let that FUN materialize.. Well, whateva, nevermind..
