@MArc,

Let’s not overdo it. Then he will start signing them WTF And Vinod doesn’t even use ROFL these days. Quite sad really.

@Vinod,

Lets hope that we are called soon enough.

M.E. in Anna University is totally useless. I have examples in my department (staff). You can start potti kadai instead. Seriously!!

M.E in IIT by itself is considered not so great unless you have research interests.

But the same applies for an MBA as well. All the best with CAT

Oh, and I closed comments afterwards so that no one would answer there. Why would you want to comment ? You can mail me the answer.

I don’t think that Infy will call us in December. Our seniors were called in June itself (If I am not wrong) but TCS called our seniors late. Infy used to be the only company to call students early. Hope we too get the same date or at least a month later.
My dad also started asking about my back up plans. I don’t know what to do. GATE is boring. ME is of no use for CS/IT students (Well it is different if you do it in top colleges like IITs and NITs. But I won’t get in those colleges. My junior Gopalakrishnan will get NIT for sure as his rank is in some 900s. He said that he will get in NIT next year). Doing ME is AU or other colleges in TN is not that useful and I will most probably get a college that is in TN. I think I will try for CAT where the options are wide open with lot of streams and I have interest in few streams. I went through previous year CAT papers and the questions are good and if I concentrate more for Verbal section then I might stand a good chance. Lets see when Infy calls us. Hope they call us.

@Srividya,

Well, for how many years is the admission valid , can be deferred ? Because if it is one year and you are also planning on joining infy, then you might have to reapply in all probablility. Because Infy expects us to work for atleast a year after training. That could be another year and 6-10 months easily.

There are ways of getting out I guess, like flunking the tests. But otherwise, they won’t let go of people that easily.

As for the relevance, I’m sure you will agree that it(infy job) is more relevant to your course than say power electronics. Moreover, they could even have projects related to networks. You can check out their site and be persistent with the HR managers.

Oh, and Damn, where am I going to get my recommendation letters from ? Sure as hell, no one in college is going to do it for me. Got to find some way out.

@Marc,

That happens everywhere. Staff are (in general) inherently dumb. But then, some staff have to approve what you have written. They will not sign just like that.
