11) Training facilities and training period at Infosys Mysore Campus

Welcome to Infosys Mysore Campus.

This is a great place to start your IT career. So wanna know what are the training facilities will be given to you? Additionally few words on the Training period at Infosys mysore.

Firstly, You will be spending 45% of all the time in training. Yes, the schedule is hectic. But not for those who are smart enough to understand everything easily. 

Each student gets their own desktop machine which is strictly to be not shared with anyone.

Using that machine for any other purpose is strictly restricted.

Mostly all the vulnerable and non-relevant websites are blocked. 

No data exchange should take place. Do remember, no sensitive information should go out of the organization.

Your mails will be monitored and any violation in rules will be punished accordingly. Additionally one can face termination as well.

Don’t get panic, These are just instructions and if you follow all the rules and regulation, everything will be okay. 

Now lets come to your training period and timings.

Your classes start at 9 AM and last up to 5 PM. In between, you will get breaks up to 1.5 hrs. After 5 PM few tends to leave their classrooms. But mostly everyone gets busy doing their assignment. For completing your assignment it takes 2-3 hrs.

I have seen many students studying up to 10 PM.

Normal weekdays are pretty much packed with studies and training.

additionally, a few students come on weekends to complete their work.

What you will get inside the classroom? Tools software requirements and additional info.

Infosys training kicks off from very basic stuff to advance stuff.

The whole training period is divided into multiple sections. 

• Learning and development
• Generic Training
• Stream Training
• And all the assessments.

In learning and development, you will learn many things related to getting open in the corporate environment. Generally, all the corporate etiquette will be taught to you.

Infosys training for freshers conducted based on their qualifications.

1. BSc’s (3 months)
2. BTech(6 months)

Generic training will consist of learning the most common programming languages and basic IT skills. For example, python, oops concepts, SQL, querries, DBMS, etc.

Generic training is an extension of your college syllabus. 

Stream Training

In this paragraph, I will tell about stream training for BSc.

In stream training of Infosys Mysore, you will be exposed to JAVA, Selenium, DBMS, JDBC, HP ALM, and fundamental testing concepts.

After each step assessment will be done. If someone fails an assessment they can also give re-examination.

Assessment sequence in Infosys training at mysure

1. Generic assessment
2. Learning and development assessment ( L&D) 1
3. Stream assessments
4. L&D Presentation skills and re-assessments 
5. Stream re-assessments
6. L&D Presentation skills and re-assessments

Although It looks like a very long sequence but luckily if you pass in every exam, then there are only 4 assessments.

Few unfortunates from every batch go through all the assessments.

Ultimately, when you will complete the training period, you will appreciate yourself. It is a very different feeling to complete the Infosys training and get a black tag. 

• Color tag ( Id card Straps) for trainees.
• Black tag for permanent employees.

You will feel the difference between both of them.

So this is how your training period goes into Infosys Mysore campus.

13) My thoughts about Mysore DC, Infosys

Ahem, This is the best part for me to talk openly about this beloved DC. I have been to almost many Infosys branches across India. But Infosys Mysore Campus is one of the best DC’s.

This DC is getting old and newer DC’s like Hyderabad sez etc are racing ahead. But due to initials memories and because of the first impression we all like this place very much.

Clearly, this place is having all the amenities and all the ingredients to cook a new recipe or make a newer chapter in your life.

In addition, You will get BFF’s,  you will learn many things, you will meet any people all across the nation. You will see the best of north Indian south Indian bond here only. 

This place unites people and teaches you many things. On top of it you get paid for all the joy, entertainment.

Few criticisms?

I know many people don’t praise the training system or the technologies trained for freshers. Even many consider not to join Infosys as a fresher. But let me tell you one thing if joining Infosys as a fresher is the best version instead of joining it as a lateral.

Whereas,  those who criticize it, well everything is expected and growth is everywhere. When it comes to a job this is the perfect place to start a corporate journey, especially for Bscs.

Finally, this was all about the Infosys Mysore Campus. If you read up to here, definitely you are so much interested in this place. Surely you also wanted to come or in fact, might be coming here sooner.
