I think its the education system of our country is to be blamed here. Text books don't merely provide insights about any field. So people, despite not having higher educational qualifications, but who deeply understands a field may be professionally skilled than people qualified highly by mere degrees. Our education system has created a mindset that how much one can earn from a job rather than what one can do in that job. There can't be a better example than some civil engineers in New Delhi.

It looks like people are confused about what do you mean by higer qualification? Higher qualification need not mean Higher degree like MBA, MS or PhD. Many People with just graduate degree over a period of time would have turned out works which are much more than 1-2-3-4-5-6---- Phd.s Ultimately weather you have a graduate degree or a Masters of Doctarate that is just an indication that you had beginers training to take up works that demand higher inteligence or skill or both. One can aquaire skills / talent by experience and contineous training. So dont be mistaken by the higher degrees. may be our HR.s need to have a yard stick to measure skills and mastery over skills a person aquires and compare it with the skills that is aquired by a Masters or Phd degree holder and also a tool to find out how fast a person can master a skill. Mear Degrees wont to tell you how a person is sillfull or how fast he can master a skill and use it in a given situation. This is where inbterviews/discussions/ demos/ written tests / test projects given to a candidate plays a role. A person even with experience in a Team might not have mastered the skills required to do that project. yo give you an example we have a practice to add names of so called guides, bossess above you as the authors of publications, even though execpt the first author others would not have contributed to that work or even for writing the paper. Their name is there because otherwise the may not allow the paper to be published. It happens in Scientific world in India. How can a scietist with just 30 years of experience would have 200-500 Papers and 50-100 Patents to his credit When he would have spent half his life just in administrative work. This kind of grabing others credit should be stopped. Then every one will start working, learning and acheivving

education alone does not help u in getting a relevant job of your choice.Recession has taught us people who have got experience are preferred over freshers no matter what and which kind of education you have got .But also on the other hand the right mix of skills and knowledge are required in order to get a job of your choice.

Only few lucky persons will get a job of their choice with attractive remuneration. Every where there is politics and partiality in recruitment and promotions. There is no transperecny in evaluation and many inteligent people work under a mediocare team leand or manager. Qualification /degree need not be the criteria. Your work performance and how fast and effeciently and coorectly you can execute the job is should e the creiteria. Many a time the person evaluating your work may not be the right person to evaluate you because he is there as your boss only because he has out in more years of experience. Degrees any one can get today for a price, experience certificates also are sold for a price for entry level/junior level jobs.

Well not necessarily. Many times a person can get a job with fewer qualifications by networking and who they know. Then again, sometimes higher qualifications might mean that you won’t get a job and you need to try another position. It really depends on how you apply yourself and what a company is willing to accept. Sometimes a company will wave the high qualification standards and allow a person with lower qualifications to get a certain job. Many companies have higher qualifications for a reason(s) and they just won’t lower their standards. Sometimes a person just has to accept that and move on. In a highly competitive job market finding success can be tough but it all depends on how you market yourself and what a company is willing to accept. ~Get Business Consulting Services.

I never agree with this. Today's world is rich of competitors. If one person shines in one field and attain a high level in the society, it makes others to enter into the same field and try to attain their level. It automatically cause the people to compatete with each other. So those who pass through the challenges in attainin the level shines. most of them withdraw their interest in between. So we cannot tell like Higher education means no job and all, simple those who have courage to face the challenges can withstand in everyfield.

Thanks Dr.Rao - You are right. my view is that as the availibility of talent is a great problem now a days, and Industry is facing that, we should think of rejecting the " Education business Industry"- outputs. Then only - the people will be interested in real education & Knowledge will be important. If we keep on taking thouse business house's ( so called Pvt Edu Institutes) out put then, the real education will not be able to sustain.

Dipes,Though what you say is a clear reflection of what is happening, but to get convinced of it generates an undesirable amount of negative attitude. Qualifications, cheap degrees etc are no longer icons of real knowledge.The umpteen number of degrees readily available in the market of education are creating an illusion. Let us not mistake that as knowledge. Real knowledge armed with genuine qualification always has its edge.

Higher qualifications may be of different types : 1)Expertisation in same subject eg. B.Tech-M.tech-Ph.D 2) Degree/Diploma/Certifications in different areas. "No Job" never possible but may not suit your expectations.

It depends on many things.. Higher qualification is different than personal skills and excellence. Getting good job & maintaining it requires many more thing than just a higher qualification. Just try to find out what are those ?

Thanks Pooja for inviting. I belive that Indian corporates/ MNC's definitely rely more on the acquired Qualifications/ Degrees/ Certifications along with the experience a candidate possesses while the US/ European Inc.'s rely more on the Talent, Skills & Experience along with the Qualifications and Degrees. So in the Indian job context Higher Qualifications do matter more.

Unlike earlier days now more people are educated & doing higher qualifications as easily as they drink water. Now a days you can see 3 out of 5 people are graduated with higher qualifications like MBA, MCA, BE etc. I agree because of more inflows of students, there may be plunge in job opportunities. But It does not mean that higher qualification does not fetch you any job. Job markets out there are like hidden opportunities we have to tap them properly with our right kind of knowledges. If we have real talent then there will be lots of oppurtunities for every one to get a desirable jobs.

For getting a job only qualification (Higher/Lower) is sufficient. experience is an entity which a person adds while working continuously for a industry. and Higher qualification helps a person to achieve substantial growth in the industry, Person having higher qualification have better chances to get higher salary compare to person having lower qualification but not always true this also depends on the persons aptitude and intelligence at the time of interview.

Qualification is only one of the required crieteria. Apart this, communication skills, attitude, how u tackle issue, etc are also important.

Pooja! I almost agree with you. I wish to add that now a days, qualifications are like paper tigers and are mistaken for KNOWLEDGE. So, mere qualified does not mean EDUCATED. ......even with distance mode degrees, people start thinking that they are really qualified. And, when jobs do not come their way, they get frustrated.
