Before even being considered for a job at Infosys, each applicant must pass an exam made up of math equations and logic puzzles that many fail. After the interview, after the job offer, comes the real test: eight hours a day at Mysore studying lines of Java code, attending team-building workshops, and learning to differentiate the do's of global workplace etiquette from the don'ts. In order to graduate, every fresher has to pass two three-hour comprehensive exams.
Sometimes the students break down, says Ravindra Muthya, head of education and research. But only 1 percent to 2 percent drop out. "For us, this is very expensive," he says. "We can't lose them."
Which raises the question: In a country like India, where daily newspapers run math equations for entertainment and the talent pool of engineers is said to be as expansive as the Ganges River, why must WISH spend $5,000 per fresher for training?
