TCS Executive Hostel, Trivandrum (ILP)


The purpose of writing this topic is that, because there was no such information available to me at the time I needed it, I hope it may help someone who needs to know about it and are somewhat lazy to keep mailing or may be even shy to ask the authorities each and every detail.

Ok! So what this actually is for those who didn't actually want to land here while searching, this is a Hostel built by Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. in Trivandrum, Kerala for the new recruits who come for their Initial Learning Program (ILP) in Trivandrum.

Coming to the main point, this is one of the best hostels they have, and nearer to Peepul Park if your ILP is being held there.

  •  Rooms are well furnished with basic provisions like Bedding, Bedsheet, Pillow (with cover),  bucket, mug etc and are spacious enough with windows to let some air in. Moreover your bedsheets, towels are replaced twice a week at least. The bathroom is attached for each room (accommodating two persons) with a working shower.
  • Power backup is available.
  •  A provisional store is there near the hostel entrance which carries everything, yes I mean everything, that you my need during your stay there, including Tata Docomo cellphone connection at special rates.
  • A small documentation shop cum cyber cafe is also there.
  • Though I had rare meals in the mess, but yes if you are a fan of southern dishes you may appreciate it, as I was not much into liking it.
  • Near the mess you can find TV room along with the Table Tennis and carrom-board table.
  • A laundry man visits every other day so you need not worry for your clothes.
  • Elevator is there in case you were unlucky to get a room on top floor i.e. 4th I guess.
  • If you are subscribed to the Bus service, then it visits the Hostel gate to pick you up.
  • There is a temple just opposite to the Hostel if you are interested.
  •  In case you are not liking the food much, just need to exit the hostel gate, move to the right on the street, or better take an auto-rickshaw to reach the Kazhakottam junction, where you can witness a good enough market to buy stuff for yourself. (This is around 2-3 kms from Hostel). On the way you will come across the Technopark Campus entrance where you can hang out for Subway, Baskin Robbins etc. along with Ojus Hospital (in case) and SBI Bank ATM. Some distance before the Kazhakottam junction there is a Punjabi Dhabha on right side of road if you prefer that. Apart from this some 'above 18' can spot their favorite place on left side of road. ;-)

May be you didn't require these many details but I wished to have read this before coming to Trivandrum for ILP but couldn't really gather much information.

Hope it will be of some help to someone!

    1. Hello, there were two shifts at the time I was there, you can hope for the same.
      Weekends used to be free, so feel free to hang out(Saturday you may have working sometimes).
      They have timings for entering and exiting the hostel, apart from that they hardly care what you do, but being part of a big organisation you may appreciate following the norms. =)

    1. Hello Sakshi,
      I am not sure about the mess in other hostels, but there is one in Executive Hostel, and usually girls are provided with that hostel. So, if that is the case, you need not worry.
      Anyways, you can always keep whatever snacks you want with you, that is not a restriction, and TCS is always co-operative in genuine cases.
      And you don't have choice in hostels, that arrangement is prefixed, but I guess that the room partners are decided on first-come-first-serve basis, as was the case with usv

    1. Hi,
      I have really no idea about the e-stamps. But in any case you can contact on TCS's ILP helpline number, they will guide you for sure!

    2. About Service Agreement...
      TCS Guys are aware of the fact that now-a-days e-stamps are available. So, go for it without any worry. but please make sure that while purchasing the e-stamps(just tell these points to the person who issue you Stamp paper), that
      1) First Party should be TCS
      2) Second party is you
      3) Stamp paper must be purchased in your name.

      First 3 Lines of Service Agreement should be printed/Typed on the First page of e-Stamp, other pages can be printed/Typed on A4/Legal/Bond Paper. All the blanks must be filled with PEN and it must not be printed/Typed.
      You should not Notarize Service Agreement.

      About NCA..
      Stamp paper for NCA must be purchased in your name (For Rs100/-). There is no need to print anything on first page of e-stamp of NCA. Just take print-out of NCA content on A4/Legal/Bond Paper and attach it with NCA e-stamp.
      After filling NCA with PEN, it should be notarized with PublicNotary/Advocate with their Seal and Sign.

  8. hey!!! Which mobile operator is best for the data / internet access?? Can we get a new connection there easily or is it better to get it from our place???
    Thanks in advance!! :)

    Replies
    1. I had used my Airtel 2G as well as 3G data plans (in roaming) and a Tata Docomo Photon Plus Dongle (bought from there) for internet services which worked absolutely fine. Other national ISPs shall work too. And it is not difficult to get a connection there, I bought one Tata Docomo from the shop inside the hostel, they only need your TCS ID card as a proof. (In an extreme case someone may ask for an address proof for a connection, for which you can get a bonafide on company's letter head as an address proof, but this would hardly be a case.)

      But I will suggest confirming from TCS, if they can allow you to stay for 2-3 days prior to date of joining.

      Allowed: Formal shoes, Boots, Flats, Heels, Dress Sandals

    1. No, there is no compulsion. Get the room allocated and let the hostel authority know that you are staying outside for 2 days with parents (let your parents acknowledge that to the hostel authorities so that there are no complications). Join in the hostel after that.

    your blog is really awesome and has indeed cleared up so many issues that I was unsure about. I would like to find out if there is a common kitchen or pantry that is available for use in the executive hostels so that we can make small meals or snacks?

    1. My stay was little short to have asked or tried or seen anyone doing that. They have a dining area at ground floor where meals are served, but I doubt if you can cook something there. They might lend you that service on request, people are co-operative there.

    1. TCS provides you accommodation when you are given the joining location after ILP sufficient enough for finding a PG/Flat at that place.
      If your question is regarding period prior to ILP joining then TCS won't, I myself stayed in a hotel as I arrived 2 days earlier. You can give a try sending them an email if they can arrange for something.

    1. We were allotted rooms on first come first serve basis. So my room-mate was decided on the basis of who came immediately after/before me.
      Try getting there at same time and request them to give them the same room, should work.
      (Just an advice you are free to ignore: You will make more friends and know more people if you don't stick to your plan. This is also something TCS would want and for that reason they would make random room allotment.)

      Its been 3 years now so you might like to confirm my answers.
      1) I don't think they will allow cooking inside your rooms, so better not to carry.
      2) Carrying utensils from the mess might be an issue, packed food not a problem.
      3) No idea, was there in July.
      4) Am not a fan of south Indian food, so I didn't like it. But you will get some good options outside nearby.

      Blog post is 3 years old and the hostel I was in was specifically Executive Hostel, I hope there won't be any surprises still.

    1. TCS would have given you a joining date with arrival details (which is up to two days in advance usually). There is no fees for hostel facility (I hope rules are same still) or they would mention that in joining letter itself. Hostel address depends on the hostel type.
      Training is hectic usually but this is the best learning platform for you to excel in corporate jobs later. English would suffice. Just one free advice: you can work on your writing skills while you are free at home. Communication skills will get you an edge always in life.

    1. It used to be 3 moths for ILP and I guess your allocation depends on your ILP performance, projects vacancies, matching skill set and your RMG. There is no gap between training and posting. You will be allocated to a city, though project allocation might take some time.

    1. TCS provides accommodation only for 1-2 days prior to your joining. You would have to book a hotel if you plan to come too early.

    1. TCS usually considers your skill set, your performance and project requirements for project allocation. You can ask for a transfer or relocation later though after an year or two.

    1. You should get in touch with the HR who sent you the last email for offer letter or some kind of joining procedures. You can also call the toll free number for TCS to help you with the same.

    2. I am an employee of tcs who faced torture in scarlett hostel .hostel accomodation of scarlett hostel is good but hostel administration is very poor,misbehave with tcs employees.They even get into physical fights with trainees of tcs.If you have any problem regarding the place or facilities provided they start to shout on employees without understanding the problem and do not consider it seriously.Babu the caretaker of hostel and his servant are the main villain and culprit of all the problems so if anyone of you go there be prepared to live in trouble because of the caretaker inspite having lovely accomodation. They only make rule that you are not allowed to drink,smoke or late night parties but if someone complaints of these things happening they start to shout on the person trying to suppress you and take no action against them.other accomodation sri vinayaka is fine.I am telling you all this because i and my friend had faced all these problems in scarlett acomodation and even my friends training got extended due to all these problems and one of my friend got discontinued due to this problem due to mental pressure and torture he faced in scarlett hostel accomodation whereas no such problem in sri vinayaka accomodation. so guys be careful while finalising your accomodation ask for sri vinayaka and if you get scarlett ask for sri vinayaka otherwise be ready to face hell in heaven place and face mental torture and be ready to extend your training thus risking your future.I am an employee of tcs but can't disclose myself due to fear of losing the job.also office administration is very late in taking action against complaints regarding hostel administration sometimes u face lot of problem due to hostel administration and they dont take disciplinary action so guys be careful

    3. This looks like a very biased review on Scarlet as from the feedback received, Scarlet is one of the best TCS accommodation available at Trivandrum. It is evident from the description of events that the reviewer has entered into some tiff with Mr Babu or he may have been caught drinking in the premises, as Scarlet has a zero tolerance policy against drinking within premises.
      Scarlet has one of the best problem redressal systems among the TCS accommodation. The very fact that around 1000 ILP associates stay in this huge Complex is a testimony to the facilities and comfort that Scarlet provides.

  62. You will surely get a mail today , as per my joining of ILP i also received the mail regarding the accommodation just two days before joining.

    1. They will not allow parents to stay in the hostel. You will have to get a hotel/motel for yourself. Hotel Ginger is nearby and there are many others nearby.

  80. Hey, Can we choose our roommate or TCS allots roommates to us? I'm asking this because 3 of my friends got same ILP location on same date so it'll be better if we get to choose our room mates.
    And can I invite a person or two from my family to live there once or twice a month?

    1. Sorry for late reply. They usually provide rooms on first cum first serve basis. Sharing room with your friend will have better chances if you reach there together.
      You can't invite others to live there with you.

    I have queries regarding the document submission procedure:
    1. I have bought stamp paper on my name but in the purpose/for field the advocate has written " agt "(agreement)instead of non criminal and gap affidavit respectively.Would it be a problem ?

    2.secondly i am turning 24 on 12th September but my joining is on 5th of September what should in I write in the age field (23 yrs or 24 yrs)?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I can't say about the first question.
      For the second one, the age should be 23 years in your documents generated before 12th September. Your birth date would be the useful information in most of the cases though.

    1. Please directly contact TCS HR, they will be able to help you better with your query. You can also connect with the HR who mailed joining letters to your friends, at least that HR will confirm that you may not join in Trivandrum (in case).
      All the best!

  86. Hi. My friend is currently undergoing her ILP & has got accommodation at the Kenton leisure executive hostel. I wanted to send a gift to her, will the hostel authority allow the courier guy to deliver it at the hostel? And will the hostel authority keep it for her incase she is not present when the courier arrives. Also, I don't have the full address of this place. Please advise asap. Thank you.

    1. I don't think they will deny the delivery. You can put your number as recipient's and then manage delivery perhaps. Technopark Campus, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala 695582, India - following Hostel Name should suffice.
