Changes in E&R with effect from June-2011.

1. E&R to be headed by Kris

2. ‘Basic’ stage of the training renamed as ‘Generic-Core’

3. Modules in ‘generic-core’ are (i)Problem solving and OS concepts (ii)Introduction to programming(i.e., PB-SP) (iii) OOP using Java (iv) RDBMS Part -1 (v) RDBMS Part -2 and (vi) SE-IQS

4. Modules in ‘Intermediate’ are (i) In-depth OOP (ii) RDBMS deep-drive (iii)UNIX (IV)UXD-IWT

5. No discrimination between CS and NCS

6. The Grades assigned are- Above OR equal to 85 %-A, 75-84%-B+, 65-74%- B. 50-64%- C <50%-D

7. Trainees scoring A in all the modules in ‘Generic-core’ will enter Stream training directly. No intermediate training for them. Rest all of the trainees enter ‘Intermediate’

8. No exclusive Compre examination either in ‘Generic’ or in ‘Stream’. The compre exam is itself distributed over the entire training period. I myself confused about this.

9. Student must score 65% in all the modules in ‘Generic-core’ and 65% overall

10. No retests while other modules are in the session. Only after the entire ‘ Generic-core’ stage or ‘intermediate’ or ‘ stream’, retests are scheduled.

11. Trainees should appear for Handson once again in retest

12. Trainees who have passed the module are also permitted to appear for retest to increase their TPI.

13. Oracle syllabus in OS stream shifts to ‘RDBMS deep drive’ module in the intermediate training. So, Advanced concepts to be introduced in Oracle

14. Perl to be replaced by PHP

15. POST to become the first module spread over the entire period of stream training.

16. Handson marks to be raised to 50 marks instead of 30

17. Duration of SE-IQS increased to 5 days. Handson also introduced.

18. Minimum pass-percentage in Stream is 50% in case of module test. But overall 65% has to be scored in stream training.

19. No-compiler based questions. Now, Infosys has realized not to convert trainees to compilers.

The major change is-

20. Devsquare to be introduced for HTML-JS, PHP-module, stream-compre.
