Unlike most other core engineering jobs, IT jobs (except a select few) does not require any special skill sets learnt over a 3/4 year course and if any is required, it can be attained through a relatively short training. Was surprised and laughing when one of my freshers told me that he was eliminated from a reputed MNC's interview because he had not secured 60% in his 10th standard school exams. Their loss was my gain. He was one of the best guys I had and gave me a lot of good output. He was recently hired by the same company though after the "experience" he had with me. I will not comment on this because large corporates may have their own reason to do so however sloppy and lazy it might seem. Imagine if he is just one case, how many brilliant diploma/arts/science guys and girls might be benefited. And it is a win-win, it's not that I don't have my own benefit. I would also clarify that I will never discriminate on the pay scale for equal jobs based on qualification (but this has raised a few of problems as "our" people still are not mature enough and believe that BE's have a royal right to more pay irrelevant to the fact that a BE or a non BE are providing the same value to our company) Regards, Arun _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
