Journey of TCS
Journey To TCS Ignite,Chennai
My journey to TCS ignite ,Chennai has started a very long time ago. I was introduced to Ignite when i was in 3rd year
of my Graduation(BCA) during July-Aug 2016, from my college Dean. He
had just introduced us to Open Ignite program 2016 and said that ”This
is the unique opportunities for you guys (to my class),just grab it,it
never come again such Golden opportunities for you”.
At that time i don’t know
much about TCS ignite program but with this inseparable words ,i was
register in Open Ignite and found it interesting ,complete my portfolio.
At that time i was not aware with my self,i was just taking it casually
not so serious about it. After Registering I was give tests join
teams,form groups means i was active in Open Ignite with a little hope.
In Nov-Dec 2013 Open
Ignite launch a course Open challenge,i felt it so hepatic,after giving a
number of test again participate in Open Challenge and submit solution
of different projects available in Open Challenge. Finally i left it in
Dec 2013 and doesn’t submit any solution of project. I was just left it
luck and God,but before Open Challenge I was dam mad in Open Ignite.
I got a message in my mobile ‘Dear candidate your interview has been scheduled check your mail’ on 11th Jan
2016 when i was in visit b.h.ghardi college with my college trip for GES(Global
Entrepreneurship Summit)2014.Along with me some of my college friends
also got same message about our Ignite interview. With this great news
everyone felt happy and lucky were decided after returning our home town
start preparation for our interview together.
Coming back to home,me and
my friends has decided to request to our Dean, arrange some softskills
and technical classes to furnish our knowledge in order to perform
better in interview ”But This time our Dean disappointed us alot we
didn’t get any extra classes”.In the mean time we have checked our mails
got a link to download interview card(Interview letter).We have
downloaded it and found all of us having the same interview time,date
and location(1:00 pm,13th of Feb 2016, TCS GARMIA PARK,GANDHINAGAR)and we have register in Next Step Portal by which we get our DT/CT reference number.
Gradually we are closed to
our interview date,we all have start preparing hard by self only.
Finally the day is come some of my friends decided to go GANDHINAGER by Bus.
The journey from JUNAGADH to GANDHINAGR with seven Friends is very excited.
Finally At 7:00 Am we were at GANDHINAGER,check in Hotels and fresh out
there,and reached exact 1:00 AM to our destination.
At that time we all are
very confused no idea about what is going to happen now. With lot of
nervousness we entered in a room over there many students are sitting
and rearrange their documents for verification,so this is verification
room to verify our documents.
After Document
verification,we moved in another hall over there 4,5 HR sited in cabin
and taking HR and Technical Rounds of interview. Each candidate move to
first HR round after clearing HR,one can move in Technical i.e. Final
round. We were sitting on chairs to waiting for our turn in HR round,in
the mean while a TCS associates give us some programming questions to
solve it then and their on a sheet of paper. Question is very simple
like Factorial,Reverse a String,Prime Number etc ,given us to just for
engaged us.
“So,DIPAK tell me about
your self and your family background” is the first question as aspect, a
lady HR asked to me when I entered in the cabin. To be frank at that
time my communication is not very good but I am able to speak my words.
The HR round is not a tough one,she asked some question related to our
details in Open Ignite portfolio. After some around 8 to 10 questions
she given me two question on a sheet of paper to solve. The question is
very simple,one is related to Area of Circle and Square and another is
from programming ‘Find multiples of 24’.I solved it correctly than she
said ‘Thank you DIPAK Best of luck’ and signed on my application. In
the hall a TCS associate checked my paper and told me ‘Go and wait for
your technical round’ OMG what a felling when I was clear my first round
awesome,feeling full of confidence!. ”So In HR round they are basically
judge our communication and basic knowledge about Mathematics and
Programming”.
Now i was waiting for my final or Technical round,In final round around
20 question asked to me related to Data Structure,Stack,SQL,12th Physics,Integration
and Differentiation.In over 20 question, answear of 3 or 4 question i
didn’t know at all so i simply replied ”Sorry Sir i don’t know about it”
i answeared rest question correctly with minor mistake, The interview
was arround 20-30 minutes,lastly he asked me “why you want to join TCS
Ignite”,i replied simply “for my better carrer and all that”. Now
interview is completely over and they said ‘wait for a month for the
results we will inform you via mail and next step portal.
After returning our home town me and my friends are waiting for
results,after a week some of my friends got a mail that states ’Thank
you for participating in TCS Ignite Interview’.I didn’t get such mail
so that time i was little tensed.After 12-20 days of my interview i got a
mail about Code Ground that states ’To learn Java and Pyhton Programing
at Code Ground Portal powered by TCS ignite’.It is not mandotry to
learn by i move on to it try to solve questions. Its around more that a
month and still we didn’t get our results,lastly i left checkouts my
mails and Next step portal,i was hopeless,frustrated about results.
At 13th March 2016 one of my friends got mail about Offer
Letter and i am happly to know that he is selected.Instantly i also
checked mail and next step portal and find the same.This is the moment i
never ever forget in my life i was happy for my selection as well as
sad for my dear one who is not selected.Our designation is Graduate
Trainee.
In Offer letter it is mentioned that to complete some of documents
before joining these documents are mentioned in offer letter.Me and my
friend together move to prepare documents for joining.At 28th March
we got a mail about NSR Registration.NSR Registration is not mandatory
before joinig one can do it after joining also.We both register and plan
to move POS(Poit Of Servies) center of NSR to complete Registration
after submitting biometrics details like finger prints etc.Friends There
is no POS center in my City so we will postponed it for some time.
Now in month of April 2016,i was try to find ins and out about TCS
trainees and information related to Training.I was found about
IPL(Initial Learning Program) Aspire aslo PEO(Pre Employment
Orientation).
Aspire-It is Pre-ILP learning program for Engineering Graduates after
getting Offer Letter,They need to prepare themselves for Training to
perform in Aspire Quiz,Test,Projects etc.Those who is perform better get
early joinig otherwise wait.
PEO-It is for Normal Graduates like BCA,B.sc(Hon),B.sc.IT,B.Sc.(Computer Science) etc.
So PEO is basically for Open Ignite student,Again PEO also having some
task and projects and who is perform better and actively participate in
PEO get early joining otherwise wait for next batch.
Now i got idea about PEO and i know better i need to perform better
PEO,but question is when the PEO start for Ignite 2014 Batch.
At 28th April 2016 i got a mail regarding PEO with a link and password to Login in PEO Portal,and the mail is
“Congratulations on your TCS selection and welcome to Pre
Employment Orientation (PEO) learning program. The likely joining date
for the first batch is the 18th of July. Those who are not invited to
join as part of this batch will be part of the next batch that is likely
to start in the 3rd week of Februray 2015. To ensure you are part of
the first batch, you have to actively participate in all the PEO
activities over the next 10 weeks. The PEO learning program will help
you prepare for training by strengthening your technical background and
your English language and communication skills. Activities will include
reading assignments, projects and tests. All activities have to be done
individually by oneself unless explicitly stated otherwise. We have ways
to find out if you copy. All those found indulging in malpractices will
have their joining dates postponed indefinitely.

PEO Team:”
After login in PEO Portal,found there no task at all,and getting hungry
to perform in PEO.After some days task and projects are given to us.In
the mean time 14th of May i was completed my NSR Registration at GANDHINAGAR nearest to my city.
From 28th April 2016 to 17th june 2016

is a online java tutor powered by TCS.) actively complete all projects
as soon as possible,given the test.On 18th june 2016 some of
us got status changed in PEO portal status become ‘Invited for joining
TCS’ from ‘Shortlisted’.It gives us a huge relax and those who got
change in status expected their joining by 18th july in 1st batch.
On 21th June some of us got message that our joining date has been decided that is 25th July
