Training and Development by TATA

Here I write some experiences of TCS (TATA Consultancy Services)

Students as a Freshers.
Day 1 in ILP TCS
1st day in Tcs is 1 of your busiest and hectic day as you have to complete all your joining
formalities like documentation verification, bank account opening, HR, managerial sessions
etc.

Initial Readiness Assessment (IRA) exam is conducted for every batch joining TCS. It is
divided into 2 parts IRA1 and IRA2.Poor performance in those exams may result in
rescheduling your ILP.

IRA 1 contains 40 questions and the time limit is 30 minutes. There’s no negative marking in
IRA 1 and cut-off is around 55-65(depending on the aspire score) out of 100. If you are
unable to pass the exam, you will get remedial. Even if you can’t clear the remedial your ILP
will be rescheduled.

You may have IRA2 on 1st or 2nd day of ILP. It totally depends on time availability on the
1st day. IRA 2 consists of 30 questions with a time limit of 75 minutes. In IRA 2, don’t guess
the answer as there is negative marking. Among 5 options, all the questions may have 1 to 3
appropriate answers. But, the good news is that there is no cut off for this exam.

The results of both the exams are given on that day itself.

Day 2 in TCS ILP
Various session related to:

 HR
 Security
 TCS policies
 Finance

planned on this day. In the auditorium, you have to sit and different experts will come and
inform you regarding all the functions of TCS and its policies. You all will also be assigned
streams like:

 Java
 Testing
 Unix – C++
 BIPM
 SAP
 Mainframe etc.

1st phase of Initial learning program

It is mainly designed for non-CS people as CS people will find it very easy. All the associates
will be taught the basics of streams what they got. i.e. Java stream people will learn Java
related technologies, Unix – C++ people will learn C++ – Unix technologies. There will be
many hands-on which you have to complete and also some quizzes and tests for your
evaluation. You all will be provided with training materials like recorded sessions and other
useful resources.
2nd Phase of ILP
Different teams will be formed (8-9 people in 1 team) and whoever performed best in phase 1
will be chosen as a team leader. You all are given 1 project to work on having 2-3 modules.
So the team will be further divided and assigned a separate module to work on. Collectively
you have to develop and present your project.

You will enjoy business skill sessions a lot. Normally you will have 3 tech sessions and 1 biz
session in a day. The focus of biz session will be on improving your English, presentation
skills. Email writing skills and conversation skills. This will help you a lot if you are a little
shy or afraid to speak in public.

Personal Training for Professionals

the Tata group’s commitment to enhance the knowledge and leadership quotient of its people
has resulted in the establishment of various Development and Training Programs such as
TAS and TMTC.

Tata Management Training centre

Set up by JRD Tata in 1959 with the mission of creating and grooming leaders for the future.
It aims to provide training to higher performers within the group and act as a catalyst of
change for Tata executives.

TMTC objectives includes:

 Improvement of organizational performance through dissemination of the latest
knowledge and skill among practicing managers.
 Facilitation of attitudinal and behavioral changes.
 Facilitation of solutions for organizational issues.
 Development of learning organizations.

E-learning programmes include:

 Live e-classroom
 Live video broadcast and
 Self-paced e-learning programmes

Tata Administrative Services

This managerial development program was conceived by JRD Tata, the late chairman of the
Tata group, in the 1950s. the idea was to select and groom young managers, provide them
opportunities for professional growth, and make them part of a talent pool that could be
tapped by companies across the Tata organisation.

Conclusion
It is very important to have a training and development in any company for a fresher
employee or for the trained employee. For the fresher it is important to know about the
company by the process and to know about the work environment in their particular field and
for trained employees it is important to enhance their skills.
