What IIT Means to the Corporate World.
Engineers make the world; yes,
that is how engineers and individuals aspiring to be engineers envision
themselves in the present day scenario. And true it is! Engineering is
and has
always been considered as a lucrative career option. The amazing number
of
opportunities, irrespective of the stream you specialize in, provided
to
engineering graduates is immense all over the globe. There are
thousands of engineering colleges all over India and they produce over
a lakh
graduates every year.
Then why is it that the corporate
world prefers an IIT graduate to others? Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
all over India occupies the top slot among all other engineering colleges. The
facts that make it a "darling" in the corporate world are the unequaled
training facilities, exceptional faculty, and an inspiring environment.
Companies know beyond doubt that any individual who cracks IIT-JEE is basically
an intelligent person has a "never say die attitude" that allows him/her to
excel at whatever he/she does. Apart from the fact that IITs provide unrivaled
education, there are several co-curricular activities that continually test the
abilities of an individual. The corporate world knows that the environment at
IITs is very serious and focused, thus enabling students to decide very early
in their graduate life of their aspirations. IIT students have that
unparalleled attitude that assists them in deciding their future career
options, be it cracking CAT for MBA, GRE for MS, or GATE for M.Tech. An IIT
degree coupled up with either of these qualifications make an IITian "the pick
of the year" for companies. IITs have such a great hold among top companies that
every year these companies hold campus interviews in a bid to grab the best
talents of the year.
The four years of world-class
education provided by knowledge gurus develops a world of difference in an
individual. This is why graduates at IIT find that it rains offers in the final
year. The biggest names in the corporate world make a beeline for the best
technical talent in the whole world. To the corporate world, IIT is not just an
institution; it is a brand that symbolizes brilliance and individuality. It
nourishes the thought that skill warrants excellence and excellence in
education should reach to everyone who deserves it. This is why the entrance examination
for IIT has been designed to test the mental skills of individuals. Individuals
who have the power to reason and have their logics very clear ensure that they
reserve a place for themselves in this premier institution. The corporate gurus
believe that individuals who study in IIT have the flair to excel and are
motivated to serve with a cause. They are not just individuals who look out for
money in the normal 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. job. IITians know what they want from
themselves and choose a career that helps them attain mental and monetary
satisfaction. A person who is mentally satisfied with his/her job has the
ability to offer more to the company and at the end of the day justifies
his/her job. This is one quality that the corporate world looks out for in an
individual.
Such is the demand for IITians that the government has
plans to increase the number of IITs so that more tech wizards can be groomed
each year. Recently conducted studies and research has shown that around 60-70
percent of the companies in the Silicon Valley employ Indian engineers as their
critical resources and a majority of these resources are from IIT. Also, if you
do research over the Internet, you will find that most of the most of the
world-class executives of the corporate world have been groomed in this brand
name, called IIT. Therefore, if you are a focused individual and have a dream
to achieve nothing but the best in your career, IIT is the place for you. IITs
have the ability to turn your far-fetched dreams into reality.
