On trying to confirm what many readers have asked about laptops being no longer allowed into campus, I found out that laptops really are no longer allowed in the campus.
Here is an internal HR mail which says everything clearly.
Dear All,
This is to inform you that going forward personal laptops will not be allowed into the campus. This is applicable in all DCs.
Those who are already in possession of laptops in campus are directed to confine it to hostel rooms only and not carry it to working buildings, food courts or any other place in the campus, until further notice.
This is with immediate effect.
Please adhere to the above directive.
Regards,
Team HRD
This means that those who already have laptops will not face any trouble but trainees joining from now onwards will not be allowed to take laptops with them.
This would make studying a pain as now even the GEC is not open 24 hrs.

I got to know from one of my friends currently undergoing training that there was no presentation for PLES which was there for us.
You can know about PLES by reading this post of mine: Important note...
When i was there, it was a routine that some heads of PLES team will gather all mech/elec/prod/civil people and give them a presentation about how good it is to work with PLES. That they design wings for Boeing, seats for Audi, cooling system for planes etc.
They told us that it was only the second presentation of its kind and that they are doing it to ensure that interested trainees from similar background get into PLES and not some CS/IT guys chosen randomly as is the case with all the other streams.
But my friend who is a mechie beloning to the 23rd March batch told me that there was no presentation going to be conducted and this she came to know when she inquired about it at HR dept. The HR told her that no presentation is going to be conducted for them but if they want to apply for PLES, they can mail the concerned head of PLES. If they are going to start a batch, they will inform you of your selection/rejection.
She also said that there is not going to be any interview conducted unlike the case with us.
Usually about 1 batch of PLES is started combining 3-4 DOJs. So many people even get about 15-25 days of free time of they belonged to one of the earlier batches. They just have to swipe in/out otherwise, no training on those days.
So to summarize, if you are interested to join PLES, do find out about it by asking about it to HR. Dont wait for anything to happen.

The Generic Training Course has been revised so as to reduce the stress on trainees.
Now it has been taken care of that there will be only 1 exam per week. This is such a huge relief and i think it compensates the 12 o clock time limit of GEC.
As i said before, the training is now divided into 3 stages and the new update is that there are some differences for CS/IT and non-CS/IT people.
For non-CS/IT Graduates:
The first stage or the basic level of generic which contains PF,PT(C-Language) and RDBMS. The result is combined for PF,PT i.e it contains 40% of PF,30% of PT and 30% for PT project. RDBMS has a separate test.
Incase they don’t clear any of the tests(PF,PT combined and RDBMS tests) either in test or re-test, they need to take an Integrated test. Incase the trainee does not clear the Integrated test ,the trainee is sent back home to prepare for about 20 days paid leave is under LOP(Loss of Pay). That is, you will lose your salary for those 20 days. Not to mention the traveling costs.
When you come back, you have to reappear for these exams and if you fail for the second time, then you will be asked to leave the company.
After this Stage 1 of training you will get into advanced generic phase. This includes:
1) OOP(object oriented programming) using java and a little of advanced Java,
2) Oracle which include PL-SQL statements,
3) Unix and Software Engg Course after which the trainee needs to take Hands On exam on OOP concepts and Oracle.
After the Hands On exam, theoretical courses like SDM(Software Development Methodology),UXD(User Experience Design),IQS(Infosys Quality Systems) are taught. After this, the trainee will have an objective exam on the whole of advanced generic inclusive of the theoretical courses on clearing which the trainee will be allocated a stream.
Stream will be allocated even if the trainee fails the above mentioned exam but he will have to take the retest for the exam after Stream Training. There is no "Exit Policy" for non-CS/IT people for this stage.
For CS/IT Graduates:
Incase of a CS/IT Graduate, the trainee will have a super fast basic generic course called as Bridge Course, the result of which will not affect the training of the CS/IT gradutes. After this, the trainee enters the Advanced generic course similar to non-CS/IT graduates, but the difference here is that the exit procedures are applicable for the trainee here in case of CS/IT graduates. They need to clear that compre. There is a retest for that also.
After this they enter the stream training. Java and Open System streams are getting re-structured whereas Dotnet and Mainframes are being re-defined. (Will update you on this as soon as it happens).
After Stream, Extended training has been made mandatory nowadays, so after this every trainee needs to undergo extended training.
Now according to this new structure Generic is now 58 working days and incase the course is more than 4 days ,a day was added in between the course called a “Practice Day” where a trainee gets a day to work on the course and cope up with the subject.
There might be some refinement in the structure for the next batches as this is the first time this structure is being rolled out.
