Being an Indian engineer myself the funniest part is that regardless of your branch/stream almost every person in my college got an IT job (your branch is decided by the entrance test).
We had a saying about TCS in our college "trespassers will be recruited". And they asked chemical engineering and GK questions during the placement tests. It was so weird when I think about it now.
- pkaye 10y agoWhat are examples are branch/stream? Are they just different engineering majors like Civil, Chemical, Mechanical?
- andy1729 10y agoYes, branch/stream is same as majors.
- superasn 10y agoYes that is exactly it. Competition is really fierce in Indian engineering colleges. The ratio is 1 out 10K (or something similar) for getting into good colleges so you end up picking any branch you can get. I'm not sure how it is in other countries though.
- pkaye 10y agoKind of the same in the US. Some majors are "impacted" which means tougher to get in due to heavy demand. Computer science/engineering used to be tough to get into even 20 years back before the internet became popular.
