Subject: Re: [Assam] IAF to recruit IITians - HT
Date: Sat, 13 May 2006 22:24:19 +0100 (BST)
First they should get their planes inorder --called "Flying Coffins" esp the Migs. Even retired Fighter Pilots do not want their sons(hardly any girls there) to follow in their footsteps.One of my students is right now training to become one - I pray for his safety --not from the enemy --but from the plane itself!!!Second, what is the likelihood that IITians who have been burning the midnight lamp would be up to the task. Do they have lightening fast reflexes needed to handle the planes. A few who do - I feel would be more eager to use them to get out of India -- like a super smart IIT-K Mech. grad did who was also the butterfly stroke distt. champ at Jaipur - winner of Silver medal as over all Best student at IIT-K -- landed at Carnegie Mellon for MBA and is here ever since.Maybe IITians can be thrilled to accept short term positions -like USA's (?)Umesh

The other branches of the Indian military should also recruit from not just IITs but also from the IIMs and other exclusive centers of learning.--RamThe Indian Air Force believes that IITians would make good fighter pilots and could fill in for its 600-odd vacancies. It feels that if IITians could be engineers, they are good enough to pilot its fighter jets.engineering and flying could be parallel skills, sources said.
Indian Air Force officials will soon be touring campuses to conduct a summer induction-cum-training programme. While this exercise would familiarise students with a career with the IAF, the force wants to reach out to prospective pilots and engineers, telling them thatDefence Ministry spokesperson in Kolkata, Wing Commander RK Das, said, "IAF is approaching IITs as a part of its outreach programme, elaborating on the lucrative nature of an IAF pilot's job. Last month, we received a fairly good response in campus interviews at the IITs in Kharagpur, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Guwahati and Kanpur."But in its eagerness to get IITians in the sky, the rules for recruitment will not be relaxed. Das said that despite the shortage of pilots, the IAF would not compromise on quality. The students will have to pass the strict physical and medical tests."The first thing IAF would check is if an applicant has the aptitude to be a pilot because even with all the necessary qualifications, if one lacks the will to be a pilot and is just chasing a job, he would fail in leaving a mark," Das said.commence from January next year and eligible IITians would join the Short Service Commission, serving for around 10 years.
Wing Commander Das added that training wouldA senior officer from the IAF career cell, Disha, said: "After the commission ends, they will be free to accept commercial offers. The advantage they will have is that they would be trained free for over one and a half years, which would cost around Rs 18 lakh in a commercial pilot training institute."
