Hello everyone,

I am an MBA student (IT Management) from SP Jain Center of Management, Dubai. It is placement week here and recently I landed an offer from TCS for their Global Consulting Practice.

I need to decide on location and asked for Delhi as I think there is no GCP in Banglore which would have been my preference.

So can anyone familiar with TCS and GCP tell me what would be an ideal location to ask for? Location is not a preference as both my parents are not in India! The only concern is where good project opportunities are located and quality of life in the city.

Also can anyone tell me about the TCS Gurgaon campus and about the place in general? I have never been to Delhi!! Pictures of the campus would be nice.

Regards,

TCS Gurgain campus is certainly one to look forward to...but there is not campus as such...we have a set of 4-5 biuldings in a km radius...the faciltiies are good as well...but i have no idea bout the GCP since m a techie...since u hv never been to india ... i would advise delhi is the best place fr u...cz mumbai is very expensive..if u wd ask me .,the ideal location to wrk in TCS wd be in chennai(madras) but ironically social life tends to NIL in chennai...so if u r akind u want s to njoi kyfe an wrk ...delhi si an ideal place(gurgaon included) ...plus tcs Noida isnt that bad either !!!

do it fr u to decide b;w the 2!! hv fun !

The best projects for GCP are there in Mumbai and Kolkata as thats the place where GCP is based (Mainly mumbai). Though Gurgaon/delhi also has good sub GCP Practices. Moreover, being in GCP doesnt restrict you for a location as the projects are generally outside the city/country. Its that time between 2 projects when u do competency building ans thats when u need a place/base location which actually can be anywhere where they have GCP projects going. Fot thr same, the centres are Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Gurgaon. So you can actually choose Bangalore also.

As far as cost is concerned, mumbai is costliest but bangalore/gurgaon are not far behind. Do decide, let me know in case of nay more queries and keep in touch @ nitin2.g@tcs.com

So after joining GCP and being there for four months I have reached a conclusion that would surely help anyone!

Comparing myself and other peers being scattered all over it would be safe to conclude that the best opportunities and projects for GCP come to the base branch.

It should be definitely the choice of work location provided you have nothing against on site and live client projects. Backend work is more prevalent in Chennai and GG4 (gurgaon office where GCP is located).

Good luck!
