Appraisal System in TCS

Hi Guys,Here is a short description about  appraisal system in TCS. 

This document will be really helpful to all TCS 2013 and seniors out here who just completed their ILP!!!!

To be precise, There are 2 appraisals in TCS

1. H1 appraisal-- April to September (6 months duration)
2. H2 apprisal-- September to March (again 6 months)

The rating will vary from 2 to 5. Which inturn decides the band (A,B,C,D).

The process that will be done in appraisal systems:

1. Your managers will be preparing goals for you.
That goals will contain both technical (Ur technical knowledge) and management wise (communication skills) and they will be asking you guys to fill the rating and give reasons why u require that rating.

2. Then you will be filling it.

3. Followed by that ur manager will be giving his views, face to face discussion with u and his rating.

4. Finally u will be receiving ur rating and band.

Factors which decides the band:

1. Your performance in that 6 months.
2. Your flexibility, communication with clients, ur dressing sense etc.
3. Our involvement with TCS like participating in any events organised by TCS showcasing your performance.
4. Most important, Your frequency with Project manager.

There are many other factors as well. let me explain all this ins hort.

1. Your performance in that 6 months.

This is the most vital thing which will be considered. Because U will be directly in competition with senior guys. And it needs lots of hard work.
And at the end you must show the whole team that you have worked enough in this 6 months in order to prove that u need a good rating.

Lots of politics will be there. But hardwork never fails.


2. Your flexibility, communication with clients, ur dressing sense etc.

Initially as said above the goal sheet will contain all this. And weightage will be given for each..
This also matters.

Since the manager will be deciding the rating at alast.. He will decide in such a way that he looks into ur performance..

3. Our involvement with TCS like participating in any events organised by TCS showcasing your performance.

As i told you, The unique you are, the impact will be shown in ur project.
Most of the guys will be only dealing with their clients (project they work). They have less time to deal with activities TCS conducts.

if we perform such tasks organised by TCS, that will also play a vital role.

4. Most important, Your frequency with Project manager:

Just want to be more specific with this point.
Politics will play a vital role during this appraisal process. Seniors will be highly prefered for A and B bands.
More hardwork you show, at the end we get only C or sometimes D band which is the least.

Try to have a good rapport with your project manager.
Fate is though you work hard, if there is no rapport, i fear the career for u in IT company will be less in scope.

This is now only with TCS but also with other companies.

Important things that should to kept in mind:

1. No expectations; No disappointments. very true quote and of course my favourite one :D :D

2. Work for your satisfaction, dont work for money. Learn how much u can :) very important..

3. For a non CS guy in TCS, I bet their life in TCS will be only till bond (2 years). After that either they will move for higher studies or marriage (Girls).
My personal experience :D

4. First year in TCS will be llttle tough. All say TCS is Govt company. But its not. if ur in TCS after 5-6 years moving to managerial role, then its like government company

5. Have good rapport with Project manger.

6. Try to do certifications. You can reimberse the amount also if u had done with the stream where u are working..

7. According to me IT industry is bad.. But i enjoy it.. Because i wanted to enjoy life.. Its all in ur hands :) simple!!!!

Just to be precise, I guess u get some idea abou this process!!!!

Enjoy life and have an awesoem future!!!!

Wishing personally all u guys best luck for future in TCS :) :)

Any doubts ask me!!!!!

Salary and Increment in TCS

 Firstly, TCS is Asia's Biggest IT provider and working conditions are pretty cool in TCS and the Experience from TCS is very valuable... 
Now coming to salary increments In short, Ur increments depends on 2 things.
1. Ur performance
2. Ur designation.
Let me tell u the second part first and switch into the first part! 
1. As you all know every one chosen for ASE-T (Assistant System Engineer- Trainee) with a package of 3.16L p.a .
2. After 1 year u will be promoted to ASE (Assistant System Engineer). So there will be a small hike to 3.4L because of the change in designation.
After 2 years from ur DOJ, u will be moved to SE (System Engineer). So again a hike will be(comparatively high) upto 3.8L.
Now coming back to the first part. 
 In TCS salary will be divided in the form of bands. It has A to D band.
These band will be depending on the rating u get.
A band - rating 4.5 -5 out of 5
B band- rating from 4-4.5
c band- rating from 3-4
D band- less than 2. 
 There is a salary difference of 3000 per month between any two bands. 
 Secondly, And if u ll fall in love in with a girl/boy den it is very gud, bt make sure that u and ur both will be in project. why I m saying dis bcoz if u r on project and ur partner on bench den may be ur dates will be missed and sweet time ...  
If both r on Bench den also both of u will enjoy those days...
