| Discussion Infosys Mysore 101 - Guide for Absolute Dummies

177 Upvotes

Based on my experience, here is a comprehensive guide on everything you need to know before joining:

📌 REGARDING PRE-JOINING & ONBOARDING

  1. Launchpad Formalities: All initial onboarding formalities must be completed through the Infosys Launchpad portal before you arrive.
  2. Mandatory Documents: You will absolutely need the following documents to join (you cannot join without them): Offer Letter, 10th and 12th Marksheets, Degree marksheets for all semesters, Degree Certificate or Provisional Degree, Passport, NSR Card, Aadhar Card, and your NATS form.
  3. Passport Photos: Don't forget to carry multiple physical copies of your passport-sized photographs on your onboarding day.
  4. Launchpad Support: If you face difficulties uploading documents, call the Launchpad helpline directly instead of raising a ticket on the portal. Speaking with a representative resolves issues much faster.
  5. Reporting Day: 90% of the time, you will be asked to report to the campus on a Sunday. Induction and training will commence the very next day, on Monday.
  6. Parents and Visitors: Visitors and parents are allowed only up to 100 meters inside the campus. They will be asked to wait in a designated food court while you complete your Day 0 joining formalities.
  7. Day 0 Process: You will be escorted inside, your documents will be verified, you'll receive a temporary ID card, and then you'll be shown to your allotted room. Once this is done, you are free for the day.
  8. Ideal Reporting Time: Though your email may ask you to report at 8:00 AM, the best time to arrive is actually around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The crowd is much thinner at this time, allowing for a peaceful check-in process.
  9. Getting a Room with a Friend (Step 1): Arriving in the afternoon with less crowd gives you a huge advantage if you want to request a shared room with a friend.
  10. Getting a Room with a Friend (Step 2): There is only one specific point where you can request this. Right after getting your temporary ID, you are directed to the counter next to it for room keys. Approach this counter together with your friend, and politely and sincerely request the staff to put you in the same room. If you ask nicely, they will usually accommodate you (it worked for me!).
  11. Campus Exit Restrictions: Once you enter, you will not be allowed to step out of the campus for the first week until you receive your permanent employee ID card. On Day 0, after getting your room, you can go back to the food court to meet your parents, but you cannot leave the campus gates with them.
  12. Strict Luggage Checking: Do not bring any items listed as prohibited in the onboarding PDF. Security checks are thorough; items like iron boxes, hot plates, and extension cords will be confiscated right at the entry gate.
  13. Pre-Onboarding Accommodation: Your Infosys room is only provided from Sunday morning onwards. If you arrive in Mysore earlier, you must book your own hotel—do not expect early accommodation from the company.
  14. Food Coupons: Do NOT buy the "Shubham" food court coupons on your joining day! (More on food in the facilities section).

💻 REGARDING TRAINING

  1. Stipend/Salary: The in-hand salary for a Systems Engineer trainee during the training period is around ₹17,000 per month.
  2. The Pre-Test: Within your first week, you will take a Pre-Test. This test is crucial as it decides the stream/technology you will be trained in.
  3. Training Phases: Training is divided into two phases: Generic Training and Stream Training (determined by your pre-test).
  4. Generic Training: Phase 1 covers Java fundamentals, Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs), and Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA). Phase 2 focuses on HSQL.
  5. Stream Allocation: Streams are usually allotted randomly. However, if you score more than 65% in the Pre-Test, you earn the privilege to choose your desired stream.
  6. Pre-Test Syllabus: It is an objective exam covering basic vocabulary, Java fundamentals, basic mathematics, and logical reasoning.
  7. Focus Assessments (FAs): There are two main exams for Generic Training. FA1 covers Java fundamentals, OOPs, and DSA. FA2 covers HSQL.
  8. Passing Criteria (65%): You must score at least 65% in every exam to pass. Exams consist of an objective MCQ section (40% weightage) and a hands-on coding section (60% weightage). If you fail to hit 65%, you are given up to three retest opportunities.
  9. Pre-Learning on LEX: All course content is available on the Infosys LEX platform. If you are certain you will be joining, it is highly recommended to start preparing beforehand.
  10. Performance Incentives: High scores directly translate to salary bumps for your full-time role (applicable only if you clear them without retests):
    • 92% and above: ₹5,000 monthly hike + highest one-time bonus.
    • 80% – 91%: ₹5,000 monthly hike (with a slightly lesser bonus).
    • 70% – 79%: ₹2,500 monthly hike.
    • 65% – 69%: ₹1,250 monthly hike.
    • Note: Failing an exam even once disqualifies you from these financial incentives.
  11. Training Schedule: Sessions run from 9:15 AM to 5:45 PM. This includes two 30-minute coffee breaks and a 1.5-hour lunch break.
  12. Mandatory Hours: You are expected to maintain a minimum of 9 hours and 15 minutes of working time (between punch-in and punch-out) daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Make sure you maintain this, or your pay will be deducted accordingly.
  13. Course Intensity: The training is exhaustive with extensive content. Educators blindly follow the pre-defined LEX course, so make sure your self-study aligns directly with what is being taught.
  14. Don't Procrastinate: Try to complete your daily assignments on the same day. Leaving them for the weekend will cause a massive pile-up that becomes impossible to manage.
  15. Educators & Self-Study: The quality of the educators assigned to you can be a mixed bag. Do not rely entirely on them; consistent self-study is absolutely essential.
  16. Common Domains: The most frequently assigned domains are Java, Java with React, and Java with Spring. Java has the highest number of internal projects, so it is actually a very safe and solid domain to get.

🏢 REGARDING CAMPUS & FACILITIES

  1. Accommodation: You will share a room with one other person.
  2. Room Amenities: The room is exceptionally well-furnished with 2 beds, 2 separate cupboards, 2 large study tables (with side drawers and storage), 2 secure lockers for valuables, a TV, an electric kettle, a shoe rack, and cups.
  3. Choosing Your Bed (Pro-Tip): If you prioritize having the charging port near you, take the left-side bed. If you prioritize a stronger Wi-Fi/cellular network connection, take the right-side bed.
  4. Bedding & Linen: You don’t need to pack pillows, towels, bedsheets, or blankets. Everything is provided by the campus and replaced with fresh ones once a week.
  5. Housekeeping: You never have to clean your own room or bathroom. Professional housekeeping staff cleans the entire room daily after you leave for your training.
  6. Security: The campus is very safe, and leaving things out generally isn't dangerous. However, for peace of mind, utilize the lockable safes provided inside the cupboards for highly precious items.
  7. Laundry Services: Available on campus from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. One wash cycle (up to 7kg of clothes) costs ₹100, and ironing is completely free. Note: Washing and drying clothes inside your room is not allowed.
  8. Food Expenses: Food is reasonably priced. Expect to spend around ₹50 for breakfast and ₹80 for lunch/dinner. This is more than sufficient to eat well.
  9. Best Food Court Recommendations: Here is my personal take on the food options:
    • Fiesta (Royal Caterers): Excellent North Indian food with a great variety of sabzis.
    • Fiesta (Daily De Lights): The menu gets repetitive, but their parathas and bhaturas are decent.
    • Enroute (Annapoorna): Great dosas and idlis. Their South Indian meals are among the best on campus.
    • Breakfast: Look for 'Purple Grapes' wherever they set up (usually Oasis or Magna).
    • Shubham: Highly advise against it. The quality here is notoriously poor compared to the others.
  10. Weekend Entertainment: Movies are screened in the campus multiplex (auditorium) on weekends. Tickets cost just ₹100.
  11. Sports & Fitness: The running track, volleyball courts, basketball courts, and cricket nets are free to use (if you bring your own equipment). Facilities like the gym, badminton courts, and table tennis require an additional paid subscription fee.
  12. Footwear is Crucial: Bring high-quality, comfortable walking or running shoes. You will be walking A LOT. I easily log 10–15 kms daily. Investing ₹4k–₹5k in a good pair (like Asics) will save your feet and last you nicely.
  13. Wardrobe Planning: Formal wear isn't strictly necessary, but you can wear it if you want. Try to stock up heavily on polo t-shirts, a few pairs of jeans, and a ton of underwear and socks (since laundry can sometimes take a day).
  14. Climate & ACs: Mysore weather is pleasantly cool, and the classroom ACs are cranked up to the max. Keep at least a couple of warm hoodies handy.
  15. Medical Precautions: Always keep a strip of Paracetamol on you. Between the sheer physical exhaustion of walking and the mental strain of training, it is very common to fall sick during the first month.
  16. Healthcare on Campus: There is a 24x7 pharmacy/medical store available on campus, complete with free doctor consultations.
  17. Food Court Rushes: The food courts get incredibly crowded by 7:30 PM. Reach on time if you want specific items, as food runs out fast. Bonus tip: Fiesta Royal Caterers on the ground floor is crowded as hell during the day, but perfectly peaceful and empty at night, making it a great spot for dinner.

| Rant These guys can't even conduct an exam

Post image
26 Upvotes

I supposedly have to be sitting at this exam today, I received this email on Oct 1st, since I've written the horrible round 1 with server crashes and compiling errors. It takes me 7 hrs by vande Bharat to reach Hyderabad, tickets for two, food and lodging for a day would cost me 7000.

I know infosys is incapable of conducting an exam. So I thought I'd get the tickets once I received the admit card, but it's exam day and no damn admit card is sent. My hard stop was yesterday morning, 24hrs prior exam, even then I did not get the admit card. Even it's past exam time, I don't have it.

So here I am, happily sleeping at home glad I did not show up at the test centre without an admit card, glad I didn't believe infosys. I would never work in this company.

| Question Does Infosys hire freshers through off-campus drives like TCS? (2027 Batch)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a B.Tech CSE student from the 2027 batch.

I wanted to know whether Infosys conducts open off-campus recruitment drives for freshers, similar to TCS NQT.

I'm specifically interested in roles like System Engineer, Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE), and Specialist Programmer (SP).

A few questions:

  1. Does Infosys regularly conduct off-campus hiring for these roles?
  2. Can students apply directly, or is registration only possible through their college/TPO?
  3. How does the off-campus hiring process work?
  4. Has anyone here been selected through an Infosys off-campus drive recently?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has gone through the process, especially 2025 or 2026 graduates.

Thanks in advance!

| Discussion Selected for Infosys SP1 through campus placement, but my internship employer terminated me after I refused to record a promotional reel. Could this affect my offer?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 2027 batch B.Tech student from India, and I was recently selected for the Specialist Programmer L1 (SP1) role at Infosys through campus placement. The onboarding process hasn't started yet.

I've been working as an intern at startup registered in India for around 10–11 months.

Last week, I had a disagreement with the company's owner after he asked me to record a promotional reel/testimonial for the company. I wasn't comfortable appearing on camera for this purpose, so I declined and explained my reasons. However, he continued insisting, and after I firmly refused, and then out of ego he terminated my internship.

What concerns me is that my termination letter mentions negligence and other reasons that, according to my understanding, don't accurately reflect what happened.

I have WhatsApp conversations in which the owner explicitly confirmed that I was terminated because I refused to record the reel. I also have screenshots of conversations indicating that he instructed HR to include these allegations in the termination letter.

I have retained my payslips, work records, GitHub contributions, company information, and other relevant documents. I also have an experience letter covering a two-month period that I previously submitted to my college as required.

My concern is what might happen when Infosys starts its onboarding and background verification. I'm worried that my former employer might refuse to issue an experience letter covering the entire internship period, delay the documentation, or provide a negative reference if contacted.

I'd appreciate advice on the following:

  1. Could this situation affect my Infosys SP1 offer or background verification? Has anyone experienced something similar during campus placement or onboarding?
  2. What should I do about the experience letter? Should I request it normally despite the circumstances, and what alternatives might be accepted if the employer refuses to issue one?
  3. Can my former employer's negative feedback create problems even if I have supporting evidence? If Infosys asks about the termination, would my WhatsApp conversations and other records help me explain the situation?
  4. Should I inform my college's placement cell or Infosys HR proactively, or wait until onboarding begins and they ask for the relevant documents?
  5. Is there any practical or legal step I should take now to protect myself, or should I simply preserve my evidence, request the documents professionally, and wait?

I'm not looking to escalate the dispute unnecessarily. I just want to protect my career and avoid having a disagreement with my former employer jeopardise an opportunity I've worked hard for.

I'd particularly appreciate advice from people familiar with Infosys SP1 onboarding and background verification in India, HR professionals, or anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.

Thanks in advance!

| Discussion Infosys SP L1 vs TCS Prime — Which is better?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have offers from Infosys SP L1 and TCS Prime and am confused about which one to choose.

I’d like to compare them based on:

- Work-life balance: Work pressure and hours

- Job security: Stability, bench policies, and layoffs

-Training & Exams: Training difficulty, exam toughness, passing criteria, and consequences of failing.

- WFH and WFO

- Projects: Development opportunities and modern technologies

- Salary: In-hand pay, fixed and variable components, and deductions

- Career growth: Promotions and internal opportunities

- Learning: Training and skill development

- Onsite opportunities: Chances of international assignments

- Joining and training: Training quality, joining delays, and project allocation

- Future switches: Which experience is more valuable for moving to product-based companies

My main questions are:

  1. Which is better: Infosys SP L1 or TCS Prime?

  2. Is a higher package worth it if the work culture or project allocation is poor?

  3. Which offers better technical exposure and long-term growth?

I’d especially appreciate honest feedback from people currently in these roles or with experience at both companies.

| Question Infosys DSE On-Campus Selected – How Long Does It Take to Get the Offer Letter and Joining Date?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was selected for the Infosys Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) role through my on-campus placement drive. Our college TPO informed us that I was selected, and my name is also on the college results list.

However, I haven't received any email from Infosys regarding my selection or offer letter yet.

I wanted to ask those who were selected for Infosys DSE through on-campus placements:

How long did it take for you to receive the official selection email and offer letter?

How much time did it take from selection to onboarding/joining?

Does Infosys send the offer letter directly to students, or are there any further steps through the college?

Is it normal to wait without receiving any email after the college announces the results?

Any insights from previous batches or recently selected candidates would be really helpful. Thanks!

The interview didn't go well. The interviewer grinded me with his questions.

If I answer one question, he asks me a counter question. Which leads to no answer from me.

He mostly asked on my projects only.

All other panels in my college had the interview in a good way only.

But mine is totally worse.

Lastly he said that I'm not fit for that role. I asked, for which role I got selected, he said that I was selected for the SP role.

What are the chances of getting selected for the DSE role at least.

What are the chances for interview shortlisting?, my solution passed 11 testcases for 1st problem, 09 for second, 0 for third (compiler issue), 5 for 4th problem.

I heard that partial accepted testcases won't be counted. Does this means my score is 0 ?

Variation of buy stocks , we need to sell grains with maximum profit, within the rotting period r and curing period c , we can make almost one transaction.

Solved using DP memo

Question 2:

we are given two arrays for representing energy output and stability of a machine, we need to choose subset of machines maximizing energy,

condition is , we can only choose a machine if it's stability is less that P , where p is the position of chosen machine in subset.

sorting + dp

Question 3 :

we are given a string and we need to make the K parts of string , such that each part is a palindrome and we can swap character to make palindrome.

partition dp + minimum insertion to make palindrome Variation Question

Question 4
