I agree with you about US VISA issues. But as Infy does lots of Non-US projects, I think the onsite opps to other countries are good until they don't contrain VISA process like US. Pls let me know your opinion on this.

I might be part of IVS Team. How are the growth prospects in IVS? Most probably my role wud be Test Analyst( I was told during the Interview).During the interview I was told the prospects are good.


Regards,
Honey

1) 65% of Business of Infy comes from US alone. so the rest is just 35%, and of that about 40% is business in India, so that means you have about 18% chance of being in a project whose client is outside India, but other than in US. in other words, the chance of you getting a non-US client is very low. having said that, we do have clients in most major countries

2) IVS as you already know is a testing IBU. All you need to do is test the completed applications using various test cases. some ppl like this Unit a lot as you get a wholesome exposure to the application. Others feel it is not a very analytical kind of work. so the call is urs. if you think u will like it you will.

3) Show me one job interview where they speak negative of the work on offer?

Infy will put you through a rigorous training program, and test will be conducted regularly. you need to perform well in these tests or the company will terminate you from services


package of 3.25 lpa means that you will get around 20K on hand. the usual deduction like PF and tax will be applicable. about 2K every month from you salary will be training incentive. it will be paid once you complete training. so in case u have 5 months of training, you will be paid 10K at the completion of you training. also, there will be a deduction of about 1500 Rs for hostel rent. its best that u refer to your pay on a per month basis rather than refer to it per annum.
giving pay as per annum is the smartest way corporates use to blow up the salary figure.


well on an average you will have lots of time. needless to say, its on how u manage time that determines how much of it you utilize. there can be a situation where u are put in a highly critical project that requires you to slog for 10 or 12 hours a day, and thats when things can get messy.
all said and done, YES u will get ample time

Yup there are 2 training batches. Short and Long cycle.
there is no difference in terms of pay, but the duration will be very small for short cycle batch. Only Computer and Information Science guys will be put into fast cycle, every body else by default is into Long Cycle.
while it takes about 5 months in Long Cycle, Fast cycle is completed in a month and a half

Nirmal, Infy wld specify what is the CGPA that it considers for cutoff. infact the cutoff varies for various universities. while it is 65% for most cases, it is 60% for Maharashtra University and 70% for Delhi University. its better you ask around a lot more and find out what the CGPA that they consider for cutoff.

During joining they require you to get a degree certificate, or atleast a provisional certificate. in case your results are still awaited, i doubt your college will give you the provisional certificate, and Infy would not accept you without it.

its is a must that all your results are available during joining. you can request for a later DOJ, in case they agree, then you have it made

thanks............
but my query was whether infy will extend my joining date in case of the prob mentioned above(i.e 8th sem results out and 6th sem backlog result not yet out....will be out in last week of august and joining date has arrived before tat)............or will they expel me by not extending joining date.............is there any chance of infy doing this???????

when i joined, one of the guys in my batch did not get is 8th semester marks, and so the company told him to join in the next batch. Infy generally does this, because there is a batch joining almost every fortnight. i don't know whats the scene now.

The best option would be to call up someone. generally in the joining letter they give the number of some HR folks, call them up and tell them your story.
its better to hear from them now, rather than hear from them later on.

Yes. If you have genuine reason, Infosys does extend the joining date by few months.
