Infosys’ Chairman and Chief Mentor M.R.Narayana Murthy has described the training center, located 140 km off from India’s silicon valley, Bangalore, as the biggest corporate training facility in the world. “We are setting up the biggest corporate training facility in the world with 2,000 rooms which can house 4,000 people on a twin sharing basis. As we would be hiring roughly 12,000 people on an average, if we train 4,000 employees for four months, we should be able to turn around three batches in a year at this center,” he says.

Things you should not do in the Mysore campus:
- Smoking inside your hostel rooms, every room has a smoke sensor, you will be in great trouble. Get rid of these habits before coming to campus.
- Roaming late at night on campus roads with your new girl/boyfriend.
- Do not enter the campus gates when you are drunk, Infosys campus has the facility to carry out drinking tests in their own medical clinic. If you are found guilty, you will have to pay heavy penalties.
- Avoid playing games on your PCs or do not get caught.
- Do not entertain with the campus stuff, especially emergency alarms, fire alarms, etc. The campus has a full arrangement of CCTV cameras to record your activities.
- For Interns, Do not give your ID card to your friends to swipe in attendance on your behalf. It is a sin there. If caught, you will have to pay a high penalty for this.
** I have got queries on whether Infosys pays for your flights/or travel. You need to reach the campus on your own and Infosys does not pay for your flights. Check flights here.

Hi chetana,
Though it might b little dificult, bt dont worry much. Infy has well planned schedule for non CS background trainees.You will be given training from the very basic fundamentals. Be a keen learner and Soon you will be good in programming and other technologies as well. Plus girls need to share their room with their roommate. Only boys have single room accomodation.
i have just completed my Btech in Electronics and Communication. I don’t have good knowledge about programming an all. Is it going to be difficult for me during the training? My DOJ is Oct 20th 2014. Are they providing single room accommodation for girls. Please kindly guide me through this.
hi … my doj is 4th of Aug while u gng pls tel me I dono d route
You do not have to pay extra for aerobics and yoga , it is included in membership card.
how much they charge for aerobics,yoga and other facilities?
Yes, you have to pay for ur food. Company will provide only accomodation.
Does fooding is not included with accomodation?
We have to pay extra for that?
You have to pay Rs.50 per laundary (max upto 8 kg) . You will be given membership card which will avail these facilities.
do we have to pay for our laundary, and for availing facilities of gymnasium and swimming pool ?
There are many vendors from different parts of country. You have to satisfy with the food available here or you can go outside campus for having lunch or dinner.
what about the food?
No, accomodation during training is free.
I have to know whether we have to to make any payment for accomodation there in mysore campus.
You will be free on weekends so you can go outside the campus and explore nearby places in mysore or have night out and have trip. But though you are from non IT background, you may or may not need to go to labs and practice all the stuff on the weekends(labs are operational on all days). And though training is of 6 months , management will have a well defined schedule and you have to go through that schedule including covering all modules and clearing all the tests. When you will come here , you will be informed about schedule of each and every module in the your induction.
I m a non IT student. My DOJ is sept 15th. I want to know whether we can enjoy the training by working on week days. And can we have some relief or a kindaa fun during the weekends. And also is 6 months training compulsory or will they permit us for 3 months if we perform well.
ya u need to carry offer letter with signature wherever required Also check if barcode on printed offer letter is printed properly n working or not. Plus bring service agreement and medical certificate(if asked , we were asked) . Also bring the photocopies and desired original documents for verification. You will be given enough material for preparation throughout training. But if u want to prepare u can prepare required modules or can carry books along with you in campus. You might have received or will receive an email about check in date and time. You need to report to campus on expected date for further processing. and accommodation will be given to you from check in day.
Hi..

nd I’m from a non cs background nd I have got placed as a testing executive…do I have to prepare something before joining?
Aug 4 s my joining..can I report on display previous day.?
No you can access your PC in the provided lab only . And the internet access will be provided for the certain duration of the day depending on your need.
is the campus is wifi? are we going to get personal computers in our room?
The whether in Mysore is mostly good and pleasant. But the food may be a little bit unsatisfactory. Though there are different vendors from north as well. Apart from this , there are Dominoz , CCD etc in campus that can compensate. But you will/have to adapt yourself to all these 🙂
I am really concerned about the weather (in general) and food available. What is the quality of food and I am from east India, so any tips on how to manage with south indian food ?
Hi Akshay,
That’s great. You are getting chance to b part of the Infosys Mysore. You will have a great experience here. Study material and facilities provided here will help you to learn all the technologies, though you are from non CS background. You are not allowed to carry laptops and pendrives etc (storage-portable devices) as you will be dealing with sensitive and crucial data.
If you have further queries, feel free to ask 🙂
Hi.
My date of joining is 1st September. I am excited seeing all the facilities available but at the same time a bit nervous regarding training as I am not from a CS background. So I just wanted to take some advice on that matter from you. Also, I would like to know the reason of avoiding issues related to laptops.
