From my experience, I'd say get to know about the job profiles first and then select the company. I was placed in TCS but didn't join coz I'll be going for higher studies (I'm a student of BE). My frenz placed in both the companies haf joined. They say training is the same, a rigorous 9 to 9!!!

However, you don't get to choose your domain of work 99% of the times. Has happened wid many of my seniors. Those who were put in Mainframes are stuck in there, those in testing remain there. Thats coz they/(even my batch who joined this year) didn't get to choose their area of work.

So, jus coz of 10k/year increase in salary don't join CTS. Join CTS if you wanna get into the testing domain. Hell lotsa frenz/seniors of mine haf been stuck to the domain where they were initially put. They can't get into something else now.

Forget about the company, you won't stick to it for more than 2 years anyway. Give proper attention to the field in which you wanna get. Remove CTS/TCS from your mind. Focus on either Testing, Developing now and choose a job!

I would suggest you take the highest paying job and save so u can pay for ure further studies yourself.
This is a 16-yr old's opinion so don't give it much wieght if you don't want you

I haven't heard any of the companies where my friends got placed through college been given an option to choose their domains. It's surprising that you were already told that what post you'll be getting. If you are keen on development, choose that. If money is the only criteria for now, CTS looks like a better option. Seems this is a one year old thread. What have you decided?

@ Pheak0ut,

After selection in both companies, TCS seemed fast for me.
They took our Medical Test. I passed.
Then again one test for deciding Batches. Again I passed that too. :p

So, got an email from TCS just 2 days before that, you can now join TCS now. Dates will be declared within this week. But most probably in 2nd week of October.

And from CTS, just few newsletters. n joining will be after Feb - March.

So, I choose to join TCS now. :)

though it varies project wise but the onsite opportunity is more in TCS... many of my friends in TCS got posted onsite during the first year only in TCS... where as most of us in IBM didnt get a single onsite chance during first 2.5 yrs.:mad:
but I heard in the last year TCS sacked many professional ..and even deducted 20% from the salary for 2-3 month in the end of financial year.:confused:
