JOINING LETTER BLUES? NEXT STEP PORTAL MIGHT HELP

Madness begins before ilp does. A lot of my friends never got the joining letter. Apparently joining letters by their name have reached the college, but are addressed to some other college. Some other joining letters have reached but the recipients are caught unawares, as they never got an intimation through e-mail. As for people like me who live thousands of miles away from college, as per the word that is around, we are supposed to make a round trip to college before making the final odyssey to our ilp center.

Thankfully our kind has some help on the web, or so it seems. nextstep.tcs.com is an excelent portal with all necessary documents available for download. To the best of my knowledge the joining letter comes along with an annexure, the service agreement and the letter of acceptance. If there's any thing else kindly inform.. However as I said the word is out that I need to collect the original joining letter posted to college. In that case I don't see the point of this site. Its also a good portal for all the common doubts regarding 1st day and ilp in general. Guess all you guys who's joining letter might have 'mis-posted' or so you feel.. checking up your status on this site is a good idea. But the catch is you need to know you login and password. And for that you need to get a mail containing these details from TCS. Its quite possible though, that you didn't even recieve this mail. Guess everyone gets to experience their fair share of madness. But it'll all fall in place so just don't take too much preassure, even before it all starts.
ENJOY
