My Experience about TCS Training in ILP Chennai

Hi Everyone,

If I am not wrong, by now you must have got your Call Letter and you must be thinking the whereabouts of your training in ILP Chennai. You must have worked so hard to win a job in TCS and looking so glad to start up your career in an MNC like TCS. But I think many of you would be very new to Chennai and worried so much about the living in such a new city. Don't worry, I will share you with all the requirements and needs you are going to meet to start your training in ILP Chennai. 

Training in Chennai usually conducted in Karapakkam, Rajiv Gandhi salai which is very much near to Thiruvanmiyur and a way ahead to ADYAR. My Training in ILP Chennai started on 15th June 2015 and I arrived there 2 days before the joining.  First of all, while talking about Chennai, the first thing most of the people get worried is about the temperature over there. Yes, Temperature in Chennai is little bit high when compared to remaining places in India. As soon as I stepped out of Bus in Koyambedu, I was feeling so hot that i could not breath in for almost 10-15 seconds.

After getting relaxed for some time, I walked to the near Bus station and got into S570 bus which head towards Karapakkam. After reaching Karapakkam, I and my friends kept our luggage in a room and started our way hunting for the Hostel entire day. Finally we could manage to get an accommodation in a nice hostel near Mettukuppam and we were very eagerly waiting for first day of our ILP Training.

Day-1: 
Finally the day has come, we all with a lot of excitement arrived at our ILP and after some simple procedures, we got our Temporary ID cards. We were instructed to enter the Auditorium and there corresponding HR's gave a warm welcome to ILP and we were told about all the rules and regulations we should follow while Training in ILP. First day was just an introductory session and the entire day we underwent all the INDUCTION sessions. Before we leave, we all were given with Bank Salary Accounts and got all the procedures to open the Account.

Day-2:
This day began in an exciting way and we all were divided into different sections called LG's(Learning Group) with 30 members each. There were around 18 people from Pondicherry, 10 from AP-Telangana and remaining from Kerala. We all had a very good time learning with people from different states and all you people end up discussing about your own States with your neighbors. Believe me, you will have definitely a very good time with all those associates from other states. I learned little Tamil and also taught my mother language to them as well. Learning in ILP is mixed with lot of fun with great learning in weekdays and enjoying with colleagues while in weekends.

Places to Visit:
We visited lot of places over there in Chennai and the city is having a great visual grand in places such a Phoenix mall, Ampa skywalk, Marina Beach, MGR ghat, Besant Nagar Beach. I would definitely say that Training in Chennai is like Enjoying with Learning and also the city. I would like to mention specially some places you should definitely visit and make your Chennai session a grand success.  Some of them are Phoenix mall, Ampa Skywalk, Besant Nagar Beach Temple, Marina Beach, MMTS train stations(this is very new), ADYAR bus station and of-course Mayajal Cinemas too.

Bus stops over there look like below:

Phoenix Mall:

MGR Ghat:

Marina Beach:

Food and Accommodation:

Food will not be the problem in Chennai as there would be lot of Andhra Hotels, North Indian Restaurants, Chinese, Punjabi Food etc. Food over Hostels also will be fine and hostels usually charge around 5000-7000 rupees per month based on the facilities provided. For the accommodation, Shozhinganallur would be the best option. There the hostels and PG's would be somewhat modernized when compared to other parts. For an economy level accommodation, Mettukuppam will be the best option. 

Finally we reached the last day of ILP Training part and we were so excited about our posting locations. Most of my friends got Chennai itself and I got in Hyderabad, my home town and few were posted to Bangalore as well. For the end line ceremony, we all were assembled in Auditorium once again and some students were awarded for their excellent performance during training and finally we step out of the ILP with lot of excitements and hopes towards our Future. 

My experience in Chennai started with a struggling note at first and finally ended up with a cheerful experience over there. I was so glad to visit Chennai and it is one of the most beautiful places I visited. And I stepped out Chennai towards my way to Hyderabad, my first work location hoping to fly into my career towards excellence.
