Even i am a non cs trainee @infy who was dead scared before joining .. i spent a week searching n net for information bout the training bout the hostel etc etc .. well nothing was good enough to calm me down ... i was so scared that on the joining day when they asked me to sign on a form my hands were so shaky that my signature looked like a high frequency wave.!..
The first week was just finishing the formalities so i spent it asking bout the training to as many people as i can(pls dont do that :) .. enjoy the facilities over there like badminton , tennis ,squash ( yup squash it is) and what not!).. The various inputs i got were ..
- hey its not so tough but u have to spend 12 hrs in GEC !
- my friend left the first day as her roomate scared her to the core about the training.
- yeah i did a course(!) c++, c before joining .. i heard u cannot manage otherwise!
( now u know why i had the high frequency wave .. i had no clue bout 'c' or a or b!)
...
well not to worry .. the training is pretty awesome and if u r from a non cs background then they will put u in a different batch where they will give a detailed training in a basic course !..and they teach you very well and clarify all u r doubts ,help u out in assignments.. they make sure that u r comfortable with what u r learning..
The things u have to do is
- listen to the classes( yes u have to atleast try to listen :))
- do the assignments they give on your own( yes unlike coll wher we ignore the term assignment :) ) .. it helps a lot ..
initially u will find it hectic but within a month you will get used to the schedule ( like test every week:) ).. .. if u dont clear in the test then u l have a retest ( they will explain about this in the first week of training but dont get scared( cause u will hear things like 'exit ':) ) .. most of them clears the test and if not the restest).. i cleared all my tests in the first attempt :)( i am from biotech background!)..
it depends on how u manage time .. if u can then you can enjoy all the facilities given here ! otherwise u will be spending most of ur your waking hours( may be even sleeping hours) in GEC :) .... The campus is just too cool .. you can boast about it to u r friends ;) its extermely clean .. u can get ur white shoes and u will see that u wont requie to wash it till the trainng gets over ( unless if u go mysore city!)..
you wont get frustrated ( actually u wont have time to he he ..) .. it lies on how u take it .. a little effort to put u r work will make a lot of difference. Most of them will get adapted to the training .. :) so chill !..
all the best for your training .. just have a great time @ home or wherever doing things what i mentioned in the beginning :)
Take care.
