Interesting discussion this. I have trained many batches in companies like CTS, Wipro et al. Quality of students are a function of the starting pay and the brand of the company. I found good students in a Ford fresher batch and guess what, they were wearing T-shirts. Even girls. So obviously they understand what they are doing. They say they are paid 4L per annum. People in general work well and learn well if they are paid well and groomed well. I really don't think Indian engineering talent is in any way inferior to Western talent. The difference lies in focus and passion for continuing on and on and on. You won't get skills in 5 or 7 years. It takes more than 15 years. -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
