Laterals and then what ...

We had our lateral placement week in third week of Dec, 2005. 23 sudents got placed with average salary of around 7.3 L annually (domestic genuine). Losts of It came to IIFT - HP, IBM, Accenture, Birlasoft, Genpact, and almost every Indian IT companies - Infy, Wipro, Sayam, HCL etc

People left companies offering 9.5 L for better profile and their interest areas .. Its good to see that people now are clear what they want and dont compromise. Keep going guys.

I had 12 months of experience but didnt sat for Laterals.

So whats happenin these days here. Lots of daru parties .. all these lateral placed are in full enrgies and ebulience ... they should be. Hope all these guys perform great in future and make a mark whatever they do and I am confident for them.

I have seen very few guys both lateral and fresher students keep their ass out of their beds and attend classes and even test. Our exams started in last week of Dec and people are so lathergic or non-concerned to move their pens in the examination rooms ...

Apoorv is always the first guy who normally finish the end terns or for that matter any exam in less than 50% of time. But the number of students in that category have increased exponentially - today only it was only 1 hour over and i saw 20% of the class out .. thats inetresting

Practically it doesnt make sense to get CGPA as its not gonna help anybody anywhere ... But the important point to understand is that if we retrispect our 1.5 years and see what all have we acquired is mainly the basic skills, a stuctured approach for any problem, looking a problem from several perspectives etc

But finally in a working envornment its is the passion and common sense which help anybody to succeeed anywhere personally or professionally.

I dont deny that academics are not required .. definately it will help us somewhere in future .. no knowledge goes waste

Onr thing which I missed is - GYAN - i.e. is the USP of MBAs ... they can speak on anything and convince people ... they are good at using big words - strategy, moving up the value chain, customization, intergration etc and has ingrained in their DNAs

So lets all of us rock the world wherever we go !!

Best of luck guys for final placements
