Life @ Larsen & Toubro Construction

Hello Dosto,Mitro Bhaio nd Behno...:)

                     Today finally got some time to share my experience @ L&T Construction as a "fresher"...


                     Generally the Campuses start from our 7th sem onwards only...So its very important to clear ur ATKT's b4 them + U will need some "BUTTERING SKILLS" for clearing PI's also for any company..

                     1 such company was L&T that came to our campus in 7th semester.. Firstly i cleared the written exam(By luck ;)) then went for an interview @ Baroda . There after clearing the PI i got an letter of appointment @ Powai campus.

                     Before 20 days of joining powai campus they told me to report @ chennai campus which came as a shock for me as i had already prepared for powai campus!! We called up L&T & they always said only one line "DON'T WORRY L&T WILL TAKE CARE OF U".. so jst believing this one line & L&T i went to Chennai By flight nd reached the hotel they booked for all of us..

After reaching hotel we realised that L&T has kept its word of "TAKING CARE". such rooms were booked for us..


                     They were fully AC rooms wid early breakfasts complimentary + free transport to office <=> hotel in buses or cars was also provided for some period of time.. We all had a great Tym during our stay in hotels..
                     NOW!! All orientation nd all completed we were alloted our department nd divisions & units nd their respective locations.. some of them were shifted to site of some other locations while i had to stay in Chennai only...
                     I m in Enginnering Design & Research Centre(EDRC), Chennai HQ..exactly speaking I m in Power transmission & distribution unit & my work is in Testing & Commissioning team for all instrumentation side work on any site. It includes testing of field instruments + PLC+DCS+SCADA+HMI etc... So work wise m satisfied.. 

NOTE:-U R NOT GIVEN ANY CHOICE/PREFERENCE OF DEPT OR LOCATION SO ITS UR LUCK AS ITS A VERY HUGE COMPANY SO B READY TO WORK IN ANY DEPT OR ANY LOCATION & L&T CONSTRUCTION TAKES ALL UR ORIGINAL DOCS FOR BOND PERIOD.

                     The office starts @ 9am nd its good to have some frndly seniors as they all joined same as u GET's so u can njoy coffee nd tea @ any point of tymin office.. as a GET u r provided full freedom for tympass..:)  no responsibilities nothing much it all depends on ur interests ..we have lunch together nd @ 5:30 everyday some new snacks r provided on ur table so u can have lot of different snacks everyday before leaving office.. the tyming for leaving office r not sure.. u can decide it upon ur boss mood (as i do).:P

                     I given stay @ a house where all other GET's share... I know u will be excited to know how this new place it is.. is it d same as earlier??  NOOOOOO!!!!! all dreams came crashing when i came to room the first day... as all r young none cares of any cleanliness or anything.. The drainage was not working properly!! The fan was not operating @ appropriate speed!! & the most horrible scene when i saw my BED!! THERE WAS NO MATTRESS NOR PILLOW nothing!!! 



                     Some how i m still managing to sleep without matress as the market is away & no tym.. getting some dinner packets daily..Njoying the rainy season here.. The office atmosphere is good the bosses r good.. they r supportive nd helping...slowly & gradually getting set in this TAMIL environment of "lunghi" nd "mogre ka gajra's" ;) :) :D....

BUT!! BUT!! BUT!! how can u forget that a testing & commissioning engineer has nothing to do in office!!!! he has to go to site to inspect!!! so they sent me for some testing experience @ IIT,MADRAS for an instrument that came from spain.. it lasted for 2 days.. nd believe me wearing formals @ site jst makes u more frustrated.!!!
                     Any how did all testings nd cam to office made sm reports etc.. nd now again a new place to go for testing.. this tym going to TATA STEEL,JAMSHEDPUR for sm months till it gets over...

So now will visit site.. Experience it & then again share wid u all as soon as possible...:)

MORAL & SUMMARY: 


                     L&T is a very good company to start off with it will be paying u good amount + u can have hands on experience on all the things without worrying of any damage respo..:P it provides all monetary support for ur accommodation & transport etc... BUT as u r not given any preference or chance there r possiblites that u will b given some place where there is no relevant work or experience for u (Such can be handled if u have some Jack on some higher posts then its possible)....
