A new direction

Finally I have some answers to do the question asked cursorily in the previous post."Why should someone recruit us"? Today , while discussing the same question in reference to the financial , banking , investment and consulting firms , I, though quite slickly , only to keep the spirits of my fellow mates up with regards to placement ( and which gives me a sense of reassurance myself) , answered them with we having an exposure which no matter how hard a private institute tries to give to its students , would never even come close. Being in a government college , and that too of national level , the students of IIITA know the emerging markets , their need , the psychology of the people , their mores , their inhibitions , their secret pride , their understanding of things better than the rest of our peers.
We are well versed with the government machinery , the policies which it tries to push in the name of social welfare and what makes it click in that organization. The huge investment to the tune of 10 thousand crores announced by the Congress government , and the project hence which would be given out to these companies , would require them naturally to look for the aforementioned traits.
The diversity , which IIITA offers through admissions through the AIEEE examination makes us know India better than the rest.
It seems hypocrisy , the very things I condemn seem like something which could work to our advantage.
Hypocrisy or no hypocrisy , the above makes me smug , temporarily.
I think , I am learning the ways of this world , is this what people called maturity?
These apprehensions.

after coming to iiit " thru the AIEEE " i certainly am more cognizant about India ( mayb its bcoz i m away from home) but sadly i m afraid i'd extirpate ur reassurances by admitting that i wasnt "well versed " about Congress portioning 10 thousand crores and for which project is it ??

u still need to elaborate on how our cognizance of govt machinery stands us in a better posn as compared to our other peers .

this makes for good reading n thought though and m glad a " new direction" has emerged from the "random rants " :P

well in its 11th five year plan ( confirm the number ... iam getting a vibe of it being 12th) , the planning commission has allocated 10k cr for its developmental plans .... the national ID project being a testimony to that! I guess more such projects are in the offing.
