He must be saying with respect to the experiece/Training letter... If thats the case then there is no problem at all, your salary slips are good enough to show that you worked in the company...

Am sure no college will ask for the an experience of training attended letter... but if he is gettin admission on the basis that he has completed a particular course/training in Infy then he might require the letter...

My friend from anopther IT company was told why is she wasting money for the letter of training attended, the salary slip are enough... (This apparently was told to her by her HR when she was leaving - not sure on the authenticity though)
 
Nopes if you fail in few exams and donot maintain a particular performance index you will be kicked out without any compensation to be paid.

Bad idea.. better get in touch with your manager/HR and discuss with them, maybe something on the lines that you're willing to join them after completing the course. Also, there is one more thing called sabbatical leave..
 
imo just make sure you get the as much money you can and then give a letter of resignation without notice. Don't spend a single day more than you absolutely have to if you are planning to leave. There won't be any problem unless maybe you try to get placed in Infy immediately after higher studies.
 
if you are serious about leaving then you can even try the medical route .. infy training wont matter if you're going for higher studies immediately..

also once you walk out of campus , dont ever look back or respond to any email, phone call. cut away cleanly..

and ofcors dont come back to infy :)

gud luck

(begun the clone war has)
 
When were the GATE results declared? When did the Infy training start? AFAIK if you are planning to go for further studies, you will have to wait for the next year before even applying. In the mean time complete your training and go for whatever you want at a later time. GATE scores are anyway valid for 3 years IIRC. Even if you work there till the start of educational term, you will probably earn enough to pay off the penalty.

The only downside to quitting by failing the training tests is that you will not be able to apply for a job at Infy later on in your career. Someone who has done this earlier should be able to provide you more accurate info.

-OT-

With those percentiles, where are you planning to apply?
 
Just pass ur exams...Most of the times Infy never asks for payment.

Many of my friends have quit now and before and never payed
 
Work with Infy for a couple of yrs and then go for higher studies..Ur resume will be highlighted..Dnt even think they will throw u away if u fail their internal tests..They will rather prefer throwing u in some non technical projects.

Give ur best during training and just see what project are they throwing u into?? Later on u can decide ur future!!
 
If you go for the fail route you might always have that black mark . If you will never work in IT you can think about that . If you think you might work then pay off the amount .

Dont think that leaving Infi in such a way wont reach to other companies !
 
I don't think failing and exiting from Infy gonna be problem for you - in any case.

Many of my friends (I was in Infy 2007-10), from my training batch failed the 'compre' and were asked to leave and they are now doing fine outside.

One fellow, from Java stream couldn't clear the 'compre' but cleared XLRI & FMS the same year itself.

But, please read the policies once before taking any step - they change the policies overnight. (yeah it happens everywhere :P)
 
A lot of companies these days hire third party agencies to do background checks on the people they hire. If you intend to mention Infy anywhere on your resume, they would naturally research that as well and an ungraceful exit like that may become a black mark for your career. In any case, there is no guarantee that they would fire you just because you fail the exams.
 
Infy can fire if you fail the "compre" exams but they give you sufficient chances to clear the same. I would also recommend not to fail yourself and rather have a talk with HR. Most of the time they wont ask for any money if you quit.

I thought there was. I dont know of anyone who failed the compre but got to keep the job. in my time infy (in 2006) gave a very generous exit for those who didnt clear the exams - they were allowed to resign and given 3 months advance pay and a 6 months workex certificate. given my limited knowledge of IT hiring processes, unless you're looking for another big co ( accenture, IBM etc) your background verification wont help much, and knowing b school hiring inside out, 6 months in infy on your resume will not matter either, you will still be treated as a fresher,and IT workex will not help you in getting into a college which is looking for a diverse profile. I didnt sign the bond (said my dad misplaced it:P) Didnt get any salary during the period of training, but when the results came , I had a similar %ile, but lucked out on cutoffs and got no calls. Submitted by bond, and got my moolah :D

If i were in your shoes, i would flunk (I would also keep a very tight lid on the information regarding your calls, not even to your best friends ) why take a chance on an HR's goodwill?. Trust me most of the Line HR's in infy (or most IT companies for that matter) would not understand reason if it hit them in the face.

While maintaining good relations with infy is nice to have, its not essential. unless you are looking at getting into a tier 3 institute, and have IT as your aim/plan B, dont bother. Infy is laughed out of all tier 1/most tier 2 campuses. their B school profiles arent that good, and dont pay that well either.
 
Unless you want the official release letter i.e. Infosys saying that you worked for them for x months, just talk to HR and resign. They won't even call / mail you claiming the money after you leave. Only if you want that experience letter, you might have to pay the amount (you can calculate that from the formula given in the bond). So my advice is don't try the failing route. They will give you ample chances to clear the exams and in the end you will end up wasting time.

P.S. - I don't think that the experience letter would even matter for higher studies. And yeah, while talking to HR (I suppose Preet and/or Arun will be there), just say yes if they ask you that whether you are willing to pay the bond money.
