Bangalore accomodation details

Some analysis for the sake of my colleagues (Wipro freshers )..
There are 5 wipro offices in B'lore
>>Koramangala
>>Madiwala
>>Silk board
>>Electronic city office
>>K2

So for the very first week you will be in Electronic city office and then you may get in any of the above mentioned offices

So my suggestion is search some accomodation near BTM , Koramangala road or Housur road

because if you opt in koramangala road K2 , Madiwala and Silkboard offices are almost walkable
and Electronic city will be 10 kms

and coming to cost structure in Koramangala,BTM its like 3500- 4500 for PG's(with food and accomodation)
but Best buildings and good location is there near Koramandala...

For Pg's a 2 month advance is there...
On the very first day wipro will provide some hostel details of 10-12 PG's..but most of them are almost filled with wiproittes :)

so better try for yourselves

If possible i will also update some details of PG's over here ....

My first day reporting experience @ wipro



One big shock to me was early DOJ of wipro because as many 0f my colleagues said DOJ will be in DEC...but i was lucky enough..!!


Finally the day came as june 25th 2008 when i first stepped in to one of the INDIA'S largest companies as "Project Engineer"
I had arrived one of the largest city in India and also interestingly, undisputedly the "fattest" city too one day prior to my DOJ .The truth is neither. I was simply a typical fresh graduate stumbling out of the shelters of school-life and into the corporate world.However, I guess more importantly, armed with a passion for self-discovery and an unwavering desire to constantly venture beyond the unknown to test myself

One main thing is there are lots and lots of people who understand and speak telugu here...like one in every 4 people overhere in B'lore.

Finally on 25th i started my corporate career by climbing Wipro bus at Shanthala silk house.

We went into electronic city Wipro office in less than an hour of time..Parents were stopped at the entrance of Wipro office and we were allowed into the office ...(from there parents went for site seeing in wipro bus)




In the very start security official verified Offer letter and a photo ID Proof (It can be any ID card with your photo) and issued a Guest pass to all new campus joinees.

From there we went into "Wipro Learning center block",really a big hall with almost 500 people capacity.As it was very first day little excited and little tensed about the formalities too....
There were around 60- 70 Engineer grads and 80 Non engineers who are reporting on that day.
firstly a team of 5 wipro ppl came and gave great welcome and started with the formailities..
firstly they asked ..
>>All people should possess each Sem Mark sheets , PC and CMM and NSR ack slip
There were few people who didnt completed NSR ack and medical checkup so they kept those people other side
and there were few people whose Univ didnt released results Yet but there are with there Course completion ..>So they kept these people on other side...
They gave Certificates list form so that we arranged things accordingly and submitted in a cover to them which they gave back in the evening after verification.
For the sake of SBI formalities,HDFC formalities , wipro Mutual benifit,Wipro Health benifit,Wipro Gratuity benifit,.......I filled my name address and blah blah around 200 times for these things.
They provided snacks and lunch on first day .
This is the schedule according to the wipro person
June 30th training starts
>> first 2 days Induction program by which they will train us to mould ourselves frm campus fresher to a corporate.We can also ask doubts about transportation , Corporate Sim cards etc etc in these days
>>Next some communication development things followed by PRP
For the first week training will be in Electronic city and then other part of training will be in other campuses in B'lore
I will Update things here whenever i get some free time....
