Ahh! finally after enjoying most of my holidays i am here to write about the happenings at ILP@Delhi in week 2. This week was rather easy since no programming was involved. There were some new concepts, internal evaluations (or should i say surprise evaluations) and lots of wait for the Friday to come. Well, moreover on Thursday we were given our employee IDs so that we can login on Ultimatix, a literally ultimate TCS portal where one can find almost everything related to your work.
We were taught about filling our Time-sheets which would help us to get our salary in full. One thing i would say is that Life Skill sessions were very much below as compared to last week's in terms of fun and excitement, but as is said "Life is not the bed of roses". The batch interaction has been good in terms of participation and mix of colleges to an extent there was Christmas party decided which was acknowledged by a few but most of them were not willing because of proximities of their residencies. Well, since only one subject was taught so i have nothing much to say about the course.
But next week holds huge amount of anxiety for us in its kitty as it is announced that two topics would be covered on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday would be a shocker with Evaluation Component 1(EC1). EC1 being just 2 weeks from the DOJ i think there are lot many things which will be taught to us. I wonder if EC2 too took such a small time then what would be left to teach in our phase 1 of our training, but i believe it would not:). So to summaries EC1 is on Wednesday and i am not yet prepared for it. I fear what would be the result. Hope its not too bad. If one just wants to pass i think there is no need of preparation before joining ILP but if anyone would like to perform exceptionally well, i think you need to prepare beforehand if you can't study everyday.
So best of luck to people who got joining and wishes for those who didn't.
Cheers!!

Week 1
At last after a long wait i was traveling towards Noida for the first day of the Initial Learning Programme by TCS. It was 14th of December 7 in the morning. i reached the training center called "AlmaMate" at about 8:45 in the morning and i was pretty excited about the whole ado.
Well, this would be a summarized account for the 1st week i spend in ILP of TCS at Delhi, Noida(or Noida III to be precise). I should frankly confess that the first two days of ILP were pretty boring as there was whole lot of presentations and Documentation going on. But some of the presentations were quite interesting viz-a-viz Tax saving and the one about "TATA Code Of Conduct" would certainly make you proud that you are a part of TATA Group now. Talking about the newly joined fellow TCSers i think the experience was [read: is] good as most of them really seem to grow up from a college life to a different one. Moreover as most of pupils are based in Delhi (or should i say all of them a from North Indian colleges) there are very less cultural differences, hence, the 100% blend has been harmonious. Teachers seem to be good till now, but the main package lies ahead in the coming week, i guess. All are strict about the dressing grooming and the punctuality and some are very co-operative too( but that is a very early judgment and would refrain from such statements further).
As i said before first two days were not quite as interesting as W T F ( seems contrary right :P). Last three we were taught about Life Skills (which comprised of Professional Grooming et al ) and DrScheme, the programming language (the one with least keywords as said by them) created for beginners to get the feel of the application of logic before going to any other language. There were two lectures in the first week and huge amount of hours were allotted to lab. I a way i think its really good as working from 9 to 6:30 you will be wasted as hell and its worse if u live far off. one thing i should warn you before hand that you should take you ILP very seriously as they can give a 1 minute notice for a surprise test. So prepare well and do well.
I would glad to answer your queries about ILP. Please refrain from asking about DOJ.
Thanks
P.S:- Duration of ILP phase 1 is 40 days. Dunno where our phase will be conducted.
