Jitthe itt putto…
It’s surprising to
know about the latest action of the PTU. It’s B.Tech and M.Tech
degrees can also be had online and that too for merely Rs 7000 per
semester. What a great offer. Isn’t it ridiculous? There was a time
when an engineering degree was a coveted piece of paper. Today the
situation is such that jithoon iit putto, utho engineer nikalada hai.
Where’s the need to prepare for CET and why waste precious
time and money in professional colleges where the hike in admission fees
has already been a hot topic of discussion. Last year it started
shelling out a number of BIT, BCA, PGDCA courses without any entrance
tests. The result is for all to see. Now it is B.Tech. Such ‘acts of
online degrees’ should be stopped. Rather fees in professional
colleges should be reduced in order to retain the quality of engineers.

Destination IT?
Politicians may shout
on top of their voices that India is the IT destination of the world,
but reality speaks otherwise. Through this letter I would like to ask Mr
Naidu and all other politicians, why did Microsoft decide to invest a
mere $ 75 million in India and a whopping $ 1 billion in China ? There
are hundreds more such questions, but one is enough. In the only
successful activity in India namely "Call Centres," we are
doing the lowest level job where high school passouts are needed. So
much for IT

E-frauds
I want to bring to the
notice of the readers that most of the companies allotting Net job work
and promising to offer lakhs of Rupees per annum through this means are
resorting to fraud. They tell their members to do Web-based job work for
1 to 2 hours on daily basis through fictitious e-mail addresses. They
allocate job work to fictitious e-mail addresses and amass crores of
rupees.
