After an eternal wait the the joining date has finally come.it’s on 30th july and the ILP center is coimbatore.askew from the TCS policy of intimating the joining date 20 days in advance i was intimated barely 13 days in advance.

I received the intimation through mail at 5 pm yesterday and it was a buzz of phone calls thereafter.i was expecting my ILP center to be Trivandrum, but expectations often turn to reality and the same has happened in this case.
