Pre-Induction Training

Dear Praveen

Infosys hosts the largest corporate ‘technical university’ in Asia, and our Global Education Center (GEC) at Mysore is the pinnacle of corporate training.

The Foundation Program (FP) Training was introduced at the GEC with the objective to develop expertise in specific technologies, methodologies, tools and processes.

In order to equip fresh campus recruits who are in the process of joining Infosys to adapt to the requirements of the FP training, we have launched the Pre-Induction Training. We are pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to be a part of the Pre-Induction Training at Infosys.

The Pre-Induction Training will last four months and needs to be completed before you join Infosys. It includes four fundamental concepts of computer science - Programming Fundamentals and testing, Relational Database Management Systems, Unix, Introduction to Web Technologies and Networking. The training will be imparted through the e-Learning mode.

As part of this pre-joining enablement, you will go through interim assessments during this period and take a module level assessment at the end of every module.

Various training aids like power point presentations, lab exercises, e-Learning courses, self assessment questions, interim assessments and audio recorded sessions are provided to you. The subject matter experts will also clear the common queries on a particular topic at regular intervals through the Knowledge Forum.

We wish you the best for this program and please look forward to receiving further communication from us.

Regards,

Education & Research Infosys Technologies Limited

Day becomes Night


Today is 5th october and 7pm as i write this post, it was a low day to start with as my day began at early morning 11am(ha ha). Me yarning to see that sun as risen 5 hours ago .. poor sun :-)
Woke up with yelling sound around, thank god those brisk working men around my street to ring me the alarm sounds. Was i working all night to be awake so late? No. As usual chatting, surfing, dreaming and all other sort of stuffs.
Awake no no to be precise half awake i dropped me out of my bed to begin the day which was half over by then. "Hi Mom,Good Morning" as i call she signs me the wash room! Awake finally Awake , ufff! after a face wash and brushing here i come to the Brunch(Break fast + Lunch).
2 Roasted Dosa is all it takes to give me a yawn aaaaaa! Stomach full so next? sleep which came unintentionally as i started to go round the News in the paper.
After a while..." Praveen , Praveen" a voice i hear so slowly . Light comes in my eyes as i open them to see my Mom saying " wake up its 2pm. As i opened my eyes wide ,it was my father saying those words.. :-)
So again the face wash and the Lunch and the Yawn aaaaa! Sleep !!!,Wake up!! Tea!!
Oh my god I don't have any more time left in this day to sleep ....
Finally its 7.20Pm by now as i come to the end of this post... am so awake an active that i can live without sleeping for the next two day.
Good Night(Day)
