VK steps into TCS Hyderabad

My ILP was over and I moved to TCS Hyderabad .On the first day(27/9/04,Monday) I was asked to report to MATC . They allocated me to BT project . Saravanan and Ashwini are my projectmates We were asked to meet Sriram . When we went there, the GL was surprised as if he was not informed about this allocation and said that he had no requirements.

The next day Sriram asked us to meet Smitha. She put us in a temp proj "Leave Mgmt System" using ASP.net (C# language) to brush up the skills.But no cabins were arranged for us. Today the same continues and we were asked to wait in the Library until the cabin being arranged and so i am surfing & blogging here.

I am now staying with Muruganandham & Saravanan.

Journey Begins - Hyderabad Confirmed

The list of requirements we got from MATC

City Vacancies
-------------------
Chennai 20
B'lore 15
Hyderabad 5
Mumbai 38
Delhi 18
Kolkata 15

I had only three preferences to choose. I gave Chennai, Bangalore & Hyderabad .
My grade "good" played a role here to fetch the third option.
I found no problem in going to Hyderabad since Muruganandham (My college friend) is there for Infosys.


Regarding ILP:

We had "Good Programming Skills" session, It is a 3 day session . we r taught how to reduce bugs in the prog and how to use testing tools. It is a bit boring & sleepy. The concept of "eXtreme Programming"(XP, remember Jeyaraj,LecturerePEC) also taught. In our batch only 10 out of 35 knows JAVA.I am dominating here coz not that I know swings, applets, socket prog & a little JSP, J2EE but all others have only a little knowledge in it
