But we r not getting any engineers from manufacturing sector.Almost 90% of the applicants are from IT\computer related industry.It seems to me as if core engineering has taken a back seat in the Indian industry.Where as IT \ software is considered to be auxillary to any core industry. Hence I feel personally,it is high time to realise that engineeras from core sector should not enter into software \IT related work & remain in the core sector for the benefit of the manufacturing industry.

This makes me remember what Azim Premji once told to Economic Times "India has lot of technical architects but less no of domain specialists" ---> This is where India has to gear up -Himanshu (http://thoughtsprevail.blogspot.com) I really feel with so many engineers passing out every year it is very difficult to identify the right talent.Leaving that aside,among the experienced lot as well,there are people who have the knowledge but they lack the right attitude due to which the problem arise.

I am a Btech(IT), from a ok-ok kind of college, with a little less %age but with gr8 passion and good knowlege of security/linux/.NET. I know companies have problem getting right person in. But i think the reason for that is because most companies look for experience and thats how most companies rate people. Most things that rate one's market value are Exp., %age, College etc. I understand that this is the best way to get 8 out of 10 right people. But if some company want to grow, what they need to look for is techie people, people with passion, people with big dreams, people who just are mad for technology. These kind of people can always learn and at much faster rate than anyone can think off. I know a lot of people who are good in security, system prog, etc but some of them are not BE or some are working as QA or etc and have experience in that feild so no company want to consider them. Sometime i dont understand why comanies dont want to take risk on these things. Anyway i hope my comments have not disturbed you in anyway, its just my view. I am sorry if i have said something unreasonable. Hi,

The worst part will turn out to be the interviews were you are left wondering how this particular person was ever hired anywhere in the first place.
