ILP @ ahmedabad

 This post will give u a breif idea about the ILP @ ahmedabad.

You will have ur ILP in infocity is located in gandhinagar, and is about a 45 minute drive from ahemdabad railway station.
Infocity:
There are various kinds of buildings here, including residential, commercial offices and shops. residential buildings are of studio apartments, flats and bungalows. commercial offices are located in various towers. some of the towers are still under construction. TCS has its office in IT tower 1 and IT tower 3. IT tower 3 is also called as “Nal Sarovar” which is the name of the building.The park is quite big, and its maintained in a very nice way. more information on the infocity can be found at its own website:www.infocity.com.

Accommodation is provided in studio apartments. normally, one apartment is occupied by 4 people. now, there four people are never from the same college. TCS allots random rooms to the people in order to make them communicate with new people and co-ordinate with them. rooms are nicely maintained and are cleaned everyday.
There is one canteen contractor who provides food both at IT tower canteen and at studio apartments. quality of food is nice, laundry facility is available with manageable rates. hra will be deducted from u after u leave the flat..

ILP Experience by a trainee:
first thing: tie is compulsory. they said previously that tie is optional, but its not. there are strict security policies here. we are not allowed to carry any media inside ILP centre which includes mobile phones, pen drives, CDs and other electronic media. they have five levels of confidentiality, out of which only first level can be made public (which is there on tcs.com). all the ILP related presentations had confidentiality level 2 which is tcs-internal. this information can only be shared with people inside TCS.

 There are many presentations explaining various processes inside TCS. it also explained various portals that we would be using as employee of TCS. then there was information about importance of security rules, copyright rules and punctuality etc. all the sessions were very informative, but sadly only few of them were interesting. rest all were either not very exciting or had obvious information conveyed.
All the batches had size of around 250. hence they were divided in groups

TCS has affiliation with HDFC bank, so we are offered customized accounts for our salary and reimbursement accounts. they also offer nice gold debit card and demat card options. almost everything is free of cost, with accounts being zero balance accounts. but the activation takes 7 days. If u filled out forms today, so by next Tuesday,  u ll get your accounts activated and ready to use.

Coming to weather,its  bit colder here,  but bearable. the temperature will go down in coming weeks, so then it would be slightly tougher to manage. most people didn't anticipate this and have no warm clothes with them.

ILP is far from Ahmedabad railway station....around 50min journey...U'll  have to catch a bus from Kalupur(Ahm railway station) to GH-0(nearer to TCS hostel)..buses are available opposite side of the Ahm railway station.. and if u can't find the bus of G'nagar from Railway station then go to the Bus Station (Gita Mandir). It's just 3 KM away from Railway Station and catch the bus of G'nagar.
