IT firms ruining career of Engineering students

ya It means they r playing with students's carrier.its nt a right move.If initially they commited to offer job in IT sector then they should nt carry them in BPOs because after taking 4 years technical knowledge nobody wants to go in BPO.Either they should declare this thing during the campus recruitment time that they need employee for BPOs.

It is shameful on part of the IT firms and they will have to pay in the long run. When a graduate is fresh out of college, he or she is very enthusiastic about work. But the IT firms that have not issued joining calls for such a long time have killed their enthusiasm to a large extent.
The good part is that the engineering graduates have come to know the flip side of IT, which is unpredictability at a global scale and poor or bad management of Indian IT firms.
If the firms did not have the capability to hire, they shouldn't have visited the campuses and hired thousands and thousands of the freshers.
Poor planning, poor thinking, bad management, opportunism at its worst.

Yes to a greater extent - companies should have more clarity when trying to place candidates on hold for such a long time. Even though companies blame it on the recession i don't think that's they way they should treat freshers who come out with all ambitions to excel and start their careers. They should have been more proactive in communicating the real situation out there so that they can look elsewhere

You are right sarika, Even my sister got a confirmed letter from Infosys and waited till August this year, lastly as she was idle for the past one and half year, many companies questioned her regarding her gap after the graduation, it is really a painful story and insight to the readers, henceforth, please do not only just bank on campus interviews or promises made by one or two companies, please keep trying somewhere else, so that at least one would not loose the continuity trust me, it would be very difficult to answer or convince a genuine employer after a gap of say one or two years for enrollment!
good vision!!

The above story is correct story. Most of our old collage and school friend who got selected in topmost IT companies are sitting at home from May 2009 and some of them are not got joining of 2008 batch. Satyam & L&T Infotech, 2008 batch still waiting. Its very correct that these companies show nos. of head to get the project. Most of 2008 match TCS sit on becnch. They need to report once in the week and at the end of months, they got good salary but not the best.

I would reather suggest all the Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Civil Enginners to look at the respective core field. Huge shortage are there in the power, construction, real estate, infrastructure, steel plants, energy fields. 

Software born at 1990s and its boom at 2000. But today what to say......please look at the core sector.......
