Hi,
What are you going to do as a business associate after doing networking course because a BA is not much of a technical role ?

Can you give me a little more background about yourself eg. your education, past wrk ex?
It will help to make any judgements.

Thanks .

What are the opportunities for ASE-T in TCS during the first year in job?
Also does one have to religiously study the preILP source ?All topics are covered in pre ILP so what does one learn in ILP?
Is it possilble to prepare for MBA exams while working with TCS or shd I join some other company?

Thank you.

You have be a little more specific with what you mean by ' opportunities ' here. Opportunities in what sense..??
Religiously following the preILP course is not imperative. Can you please specify what do they have in your preILP course because I heard they have modified quite a few things from what we had 2.5 years back.

YES....very much possible to prep for MBA while working in TCS. I have known many people doing that (including me !! ). But then this is sort of a thumb rule. You will not be able to help matters if your luck runs out and you get a maniac of a boss or the heavy workload stage of project when you join .

Hope this helps..

Hi,

Since I no longer work in TCS, I would not be updated about the latest openings. But I can assure you that there are lot of walk-in drives that happen across TCS locations like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi/NCR etc in the weekends (not every weekend though !!!). I remember seeing a lot of SAP openings when I was with TCS .
Not very sure of the package. Depends on your module and relevant experience and ofcourse how much they are willing to pay !!!

Hope this helps ...

Keep the q s coming ...

By opportunities I meant offshore tasks.
The preILP course comprises of websites and books for OS,S/w Eng,Java,C++ etc.Its pretty exhaustive.
What happens in ILP if everything is covered in preILP.
ALso b/w TCS and HCL Tech , which is a better option going forward to ultimately pursue MBA in 2012?
The location of TCS (Trivandrum,mostlu south for a north Indian)may prove a stumbling block vs HCL Tech(most likely Noida).

Your Views please

The only thing worth reading would be Java/OS (if you are from a non-circuit branch of engg like Mech, Production etc). If you are from one of the circuit branches of engg. then I would say do not take much pressure regarding the pre ILP course. Read whichever and whenever you feel like and relax. I think TCS would be a better deal than HCL Tech

BTW, Location of TCS is not Trivandrum. That is just location of the training center where you will have your ILP. After which you will be posted in locations like Mumbai, Chenna, Delhi/NCR etc. TCS Trivandrum only has training facility. So never know , post ILP you might be in Delhi/NCR or Bangalore.

How is the ILP process?
Is it taxing or easygoing for an electronics engineer?

Ohh so you are ECE (I am as well !!)

Its quite easygoin. But I suggest you go through a bit of Java because I had a tough time to start with initially during month long Java Training (we did not have Java in our B.E curriculum !!!)

You had to work on the Java Platform during ILP?
Where did you do your ILP from and subsequently location of posting?
was the platform given to you adhoc/

We were trained in Java/J2EE. I had ILP at Guwahati. I was working @TCS, Hyderabad.
Yes, the platform was given to us adhoc.

Hi,

The attrition rate in TCS is around 13%. For freshers its a little higher.
But again these numbers are only so accurate. So take these numbers with a pinch of salt

The 5 lpa deal is fine. Although I woudn't be surprised to see you get close to 5.5 lpa.
ASE is sort of combination of SE and SSE. The next designation is IT Analyst which you will become with 5 years of total experience. So that another 1 year 10 months for you to become eligible for ITA.
Increment after a year are decent. They are, like almost everywhere, dependent on the market trends.
It is possible to change your profile but the longer you have been in a profile for e.g. you have been in .NET for 3+ years now. ,harder it gets .
But my question is why would you like to switch to another profile now, after 3+ years

There is a more appropriate thread which discusses joining dates etc. So please post there.
For your training location there is no option. But after that there is an option where you would like to work. 3 options are given. Most of the people generally get either the 1st or 2nd.
As far as your training question is concerned (its valid here !!) , Yes, there is a training period for 2 months before you are put in the resource pool for allocation to projects.

Hope this helps ....

how would I fit better in TCS as an EC engineer...I have already been placed in TCS...!.!.!.
