FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Govt jobs

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

^^ above is completely correct.

Are you sure a score of 320 is good enough to get any sort of post at all? I'm not talking about reserved quota as most of us belong to General. I have heard that a minimum of atleast 420-430 is required to qualify and that for most of the good posts score above 450 is needed. Now that kind of score is certainly by no means easy to get considering the level of competition. Can you please clear the confusion?

@All, since many of you already experienced in IT sector, I am asking you a question. I have been waiting for almost 9 months for my joining letter from CTS. At this point as you would expect I have completely lost touch with studies and have forgotten everything that I studied during those 4 years. Will this be a problem on joining?

I understand Sam is trying to be optimistic and give encouragement to freshers to look forward to the IT world. But from what I am hearing from my friends who have already joined, they aren't exactly enjoying their time at the job. Having to work weekends and late hours can kill that enjoyment faster than anything.



Why would a BTech be more overqualified that say a MSc grad? My cousin sister is a MA grad and I don't consider myself superior to her. Banks while giving jobs can't automatically assume that every BTech grad only wants a career in the IT field. Some of us actually want a career in the banking sector. Many of us started doing BTech with one goal in mind but during the course of those 4 years, those goals are bound to change, our perspectives are bound to change as well, right? Its not all about landing a 50k/month job for everyone. The authority, stability and prestige that comes with even a 20k/month govt is worth more to many people.

Buddy, you must not think from your end, get the picture from the Employer's side. Employement rules and regulations in India are constitued on the favor of the employer not the employee given the liberty to the employee to change his/her employer after a certain period of time and upon expiry of Bond....which is again is made by the companies to favor themselves.

Now think of you as an employer...you run a Bank, and you take 3 very eligible IT students as your employee. As i said very eligible, the frame of reference is on employer's side so, you must see as how those 3 guys will make your buisness better, earn bank more revenue after FY end and how reliable,loyal and profit friendly their overall structures are.

Now shift the reference to students end. They are eligible no doubt. They are good in coding, logical reasoning, expert in technical background. Is it very abnormal for them to think that "this banks have very limited old softwares, upgrades and systems which are only subject to maintenance and thus deprives of our food for thought, more insight into machines and technology day by day" ??

and they decide to leave and join some yahoo or adobe? What will happen to your FY margin if you lose 3 of ur valuable employees just because you have no bonds and they are IT? forget FY, what will happen to you when you'll face questions to even your boss that "u cant keep 3 people?!...ur doomed." and the waterfall begins..?

U must be now getting picture why IT companies have bonds, why banks are reluctant to take B techs except IT officer.

@nginx...you have your offer letter from CTS right, ( not joining letter and bond paper). Dont worry. I had waited 1.5 years of long recession hit dark days...to have my joining letter. 1.5 years!!! think about it i lost to recession which could easily beefed up my career now to at least at manager level. When the letter came from my employer, i had tried anything and everything from PSU to school to bank rail even CBI and WBSEB BSNL and clerkship!!., lost all hope about my employer and my career..then it arrived and i joined reluctantly...later i got letters from some banks, PSU's of which results finally were out, but by then i had completed my training, so never looked back after that. Your employer is not notorious about such things...have high hope...the grasps of economic downswing is far off now....

but just because am telling you "dont worry u'll make too many frnds with whom u'll pass the training in CTS together with no problems" means that it will be easy...get in touch with tech...and get very serious after you join

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@nginx,as per cutoff list available on SSC website for CGL 2012 the cutoff for general category for Inspector(central excise) in Karnataka region is 378.25 & for assistant in CSS(central secretariat service,delhi) is 382.25 & these marks include interview marks(out of 100) so assuming a score of ~50 in interview(which any decent interview will get) written marks required for general category candidates is ~328.25 & 332.25 respectively.

Does state preference come into play while deciding cut off? For example, during form fill up I mentioned every state in India as I don't mind where I get posting but I gave first preference to West Bengal, my hometown and then a few other northern states like Assam, HP etc., after that I put Delhi in 5th place. Does that mean I'll have a harder time getting a post even if I quality because of those obscure state selections?

^^ above is completely correct.

Thanks for your valuable insights Sam. I am in the boat now as you were. You waited for 1.5 years and I am pretty sure I'll have to wait that long too despite it being not recession now. But I am not too worried about that. I am trying elsewhere but as you have already experienced, competition is very high even for those clerical post that no engineer wants.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@nginx,all depends on your preference order & no. of seats in a particular state.download the CGL2012 cutoff marks list from here:
*ssc.nic.in/press-release/Website_writeup.pdf
it has all the details like min/max marks of a candidate in a particular category for a particular region & no.of vacancies(available & filled).analyse this list & then decide your order of preference.like i said earlier Inspector(central excise) in Karnataka region has a low cutoff & not even all general categories vacancies are even filled.some services like CSS(99% Delhi posting),PO(prevention officer,~11 fixed coastal cities)),Inspector Examiner(again same as preventive officer,coastal cities only like chennai,mumbai etc),assistant IB(all over India) etc have no state preference because posting is fixed/decided by respective department so your state preference will not matter.for all other services state preference will be considered & as long as you clear the cutoff for a particular service in a particular state you will be selected.only if you can't clear cutoff for any state in a particular service then only you will be considered for the next service in your preference order & so on.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

i disagree & think some of my posts can be considered as FAQ.e.g.if you are a decent B.Tech graduate having above average english skill then you would be missing an excellent opportunity of getting a good govt. job if you only decide to join IT just for the sake of job & salary & have no passion/dream for it(such people are significant in number).

@sam_738844,SSC jobs are on a different level than bank PO jobs & no one in interview will hold it against you if you are a B.tech.hell i know IIT graduates taking up SSC jobs as an alternative for UPSC civil services(which already is dominated by engg. graduates).

P.S. for many people its not all about money but also authority.a person working in IT sector earning 50000+ commented(on another forum) after clearing SSC CGL & getting group B custom excise service on why he is leaving his job which pays so much & will only increase in future:

Whitestar... one doesnt have to be an B.tech with comm skills and so to miss such opportunities....there are other lines of studies which encourages specifically govt services, such as Economics, Commerce, Pol Science, Mathematics, Statistics and many more Post Graduate, Diploma, PHD and furthermore research specific courses...which proves to be in great alignment with Indian Administration and Constituitional/Civil Services...

These paths are equally lucrative..with scope of Authoritative and Administrative even legislative exposure. But that does not mean that people are joining these services just for the sake of greed and power...just as to people are joining IT NOT just for some fancy words like salary and all....and if its really a talk about money....how many scams are their from IT? compared to involvements in scams from So called Govt Organizations..? I can statistically show 20+ IAS officers highly qualified in education grounds in central Govt orga..corrupted. right from my hometown...thats diff issue....also where in PSUs are such immediate and blue-chip onshore offers?? the ones that are there requires extraordinary merits...

Get down from dreams to hard grounds of reality, being an IIT passout and teaching poor students after SSC is always good, but it does not imply that an IT Btech will aim for PSC/UPSC only because he has to prove that he's not missing some opportunities. As Gopi suggested...stop bashing IT for "why IT BTECHS in India Should NOT DO IT JOBS" and very irrational notions like these.


Also ur custom inspector analogy, you should have grown by now to know that respect and authority comes from deeds and are not fruits of a designation and fear. I used to live in a PG who's owner was an IAS in PF office in SALT LAKE, and we used to talk eye-to-eye....there is no shame or disrespect of being good at your job unless you know how to keep your backbone straight. I know custom inspectors, banned, sentenced, suspended from society and even faced-off from their own children after allegedly caught of taking bribe. Refrain from using examples of how people should behave with other people and be free from fear in a democratic country...it smells of politics.

Enough Off Topic, If anyone interested in the thread title..please ask away...i'm tired of arguing. If not Mods please close this thread.

Thank you so much whitestar for the link and for sharing your knowledge. I was afraid they were gonna give importance to the state preferences and I would lose out due to my unusual preferences. Its all about getting the job first, that is the hard part, I can live with not getting my favorite state.

@Sam, why are you getting angry friend? Whitestar is not here to brainwash anybody, he is just giving his honest opinions. Its good to hear opinion from both sides, that's what makes debates and interactions interesting.

We all there are pros and cons of every job. At the end of the day its down to the individuals what they want to do in life. Both IT and govt jobs are highly prestigious, so nobody will look upon anyone for doing either job.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

^^ good hear from you that you have transparent views too...am not angry or anything..at my current professional position i can not afford to be, I'm just oversaturated by arguements and caring about the relevance of the thread.

 

[whitestar_999]

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@sam_738844,i don't know how much you are exposed to REAL INDIA & such but let me tell you one thing.i agree there are honest persons in any service but you do not want to ruffle wrong feathers of a class I or class II officer as i can assure you no matter where you are in India unless you have strong connections you won't even know what hit you.

those other lines you are talking about(maths,stats,Phd seriously!) you are the 1st person i ever met giving a suggestion of pursuing such streams after doing an engg./graduation degree if the aim is govt.service & also just so you know the public administration & geography are the most preferred subjects of candidates with engg.background in civil services & also among the most successful ones.the no.of candidates clearing civil services with maths,physics,engineering & stats are mostly in single digit & even considering subjects like commerce,management etc don't even come close to these 2 subjects.

it is you who lives in dreams not me.if you think a majority of people join UPSC/SSC/state services to serve country then you need to get a reality check.just look up India's score in transparency international reports or the HDI index.the day even 50% of the officers from these services actually started serving the nation like they are meant to do India will left china behind in economic progress.i know sometimes corrupt officers got caught but rest assured they are & for the foreseeable future will always be in minority.India is a token democracy for all practical purposes & being impractical here can be very harmful to your health here.

P.S.btw you talk about IPS officer so just search these in google if you don't already know to get an idea:Shambhu Pratap Singh Rathore,Priyadarshini Mattoo,Bidya Bhushan Mohanty & these are just the famous/known ones.like i said you don't want to ruffle wrong feathers of a not morally correct class I/II officers.also it seems like you have spent most part of your life in "modern/civilized" parts of India but i have spent many years in so called "bad lands" of UP so take my suggestion/words at face value because i have seen many things.one thing i do like to mention here though is once i come across the case of an IT employee working 50000/month pleading for some help in a fraud case registered against him by an inspector(no comparison to an IPS officer) in some family/property dispute & he was willing to spend any amount after pleading just to get his name cleared.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@All

This thread consists of off-topic posts(which i too contribute ), so from now on, it is better to keep on-topic. Will report mod to clean thread, or change title name according to the debate. It's OPs call.

 

[whitestar_999]

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@furious_gamer,i am not sure these posts are off-topic.we are talking about career here not some political/other debate.if after reading this someone decide to join/try for govt.service instead of joining/continue in IT then i would say this thread has achieved its purpose.if this were a thread to promote IT then these posts would be off-topic here but the title is "FAQ & help" & FAQ does not always contain what you wish for.e.g.
Q.can this software do this in free version mode?
A.no it can't because we need money for support & if we provide all features in free version what is the point of having a paid version & that's the hard truth of life.

 

[furious_gamer]

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

^^ That's why i said, OP can also change thread title a bit so it makes sense. Because in title he mentioned IT/Telecom.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@furious_gamer please don't ask mods to clean anything. There are some valuable information in this thread. People sharing their raw experiences about different job profiles are not easily found on the internet. So I consider to be an exciting debate that might help others in future too. While this debate continues, freshers are always welcome to post their queries like I did.

 

[furious_gamer]

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

@nginx : I am not going to report it to mods. It's all in OP's hand, it's his thread and it's upto him to decide.

 

[whitestar_999]

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

why change it?the title as well as posts are suitable here.there is no need to create another IT promoting thread because it is already well know courtesy of TCS/infosys/wipro etc coming to college campuses.it is also not another IT bashing thread because there is a lot of info here regarding govt.services exam like SSC CGL which are no where near the toughness level of UPSC civil services/state civil services but still provide opportunities to get decent/good govt job(central govt.employee status & not those bank PO/insurance jobs which have no benefits compared to a good paying IT job).if after reading this thread someone decide to join/continue IT then it only means his decision is correct because he took it after reading info about alternative opportunities.

@ngnix,don't worry i never claimed to know about IT sector but i do know about govt services so just ask me & i will point you to lots of resources especially for SSC CGL exam.this thread is merely a pointer.thinkdigit is basically a technology forum & if you really want to discuss govt exams you just have to visit other forums which are specifically for this purpose just like this forum is for technology(focusing PC/laptop mainly).

Last Nail in the coffin before mods close this thread off... Whitestar, you will meet me again in some other serious discussion where i would prove your deficiency over real time knowledge...again.

Bold 1 : Go check the IAS curriculum for getting the curtain off your eyes and see how relevant math, science and higher studies are for IAS... i am surprised by the lack most common sense of yours as mathematics being the MOST FUNDAMENTAL subject of all mother streams from day 1 in School!!! dude...seriously? and who told you about "management" !!

Read up

"Even UPSC has chalked out plan where there is no favoritism while evaluation is done. A glance at the results would reveal that no subject is low scoring.

You will find candidates scoring 400+ marks in subjects like Public Administration, Philosophy, and Economics etc. at the same time, you will find many candidates securing marks in two-digit in subjects like Mathematics and Physics.

One thing is clear that if your preparation is good, no subject is low scoring. It is up to the candidates to perform up to examiner’s expectation and score good marks. You need to understand the requirements and if you are aware how the optional subject is dealt with, you will be able to put up a nice show.

As a matter of fact there are certain subjects like Mathematics and Physics which are well-known high scoring subjects. Being objective in nature, Science subjects inherently are known to be marks fetching subjects. But, at the same time these are risky as any mistake/fumble at any stage can cause big damage and can bring down your score drastically low.

In case of humanities subjects, a lot of subjectivity is attached that makes subject comparatively less scoring. In Civil Services Examination, this feature makes your chances relatively secure and if one is not able to put excellent performance, at least average marks can be expected." -- IASPASSION

Bold 2 : EPIC OFF topic, i will try to use lucid English next time. I am utterly disappointed to notice that you are like...a few pacific oceans away from what i meant to tell in my post about people in IT btech and their aspects in NON-IT! HDI?? National Issues??!! My Health ?? MY GOD

Bold 3 : Even all these people you mentioned are giving face-palms standing in a disciplined queue.., do you even realize what i objectively tried to imply in my post???

*sigh* however...i don't think i'll be posting arguments anymore...that would be too silly for me keeping in mind the scope of this thread...

@furious about off topic

@all...debate and discussions are always on the beneficial side of any post....TDF is internationally acclaimed forum and is very liberal and congruent about all aspects of living, inclusive of Career Planning and all...mods in this forum have not created this section just to discuss laptops and graphics cards ....let the posts be where they are... and continue on the topic.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

If you hate IT keep out of this thread, period

Now, even I prefer a govt. job over IT, like in a PSU, but you know why? Because there are no work, my friend works in a PSU, he gets 6 LPA, he goes to office at 10:00AM, plays games in mobile or read books, chats with his gf, then gets out at 4:00PM, this is the life we all dream off, no need to work, no fear of losing your job(just as an example, try getting a job done by BSNL SDE, they'll kick you out of the office or ignore you, while taking a 6 lpa package home), don't forget corruption. Of course I'll join customs if that means I can buy a villa in ambi valley at the age of 40 without doing any hard work.

But then comes the question, why IT?

Two reason:
1. To build a resume and then go for a masters and possibly a phd from abroad, foreign colleges won't accept you or give scholarships unless you have either lots of extracurricular cr@p(no idea why they require this, what matters more? The fact I worked in a slum or the fact that I can write a good code?) Or a good resume, i.e work experience, and without these the academic performance they would require would require someone with an IQ of 170+

2. Chance to go abroad on work and live in a country which I will never be able to live in even if I was the president of India. Would a govt. officer would get a chance to live in say Germany?(don't talk about IFS).


I don't plan or staying in IT forever, two things I have in mind, either in the next 3-4 yrs I am going abroad(like sam here , or I'll quit and go abroad for studies.

As long as you give information about govt jobs , i have no issues

Basically it boils down to personal preferences and priorities in life.

This thread is useful as long as you guys don't fight comparing different sectors which is of no use .
Stay on topic giving information like review,interview experience , etc

Thanks

I think its very shallow to stereotype about government jobs/employees like that. My uncle is a govt employee and he certainly doesn't enjoy such luxury of no work all day and coming home early. It all depends on which department you get and the workload there. That's why Rabindra Bhattacharya was annoyed & resigned when he was removed as Agri minister and transferred over to Stats department where there was no work. He could have easily put his feet up and enjoyed the free time in office but he didn't.

There are many govt departments where you have to work very hard and compared to that IT job is luxury where you can often sit in bench for the better of the year without project. You said you know a friend who does not have to do any job in govt office. I also know a friend who was benched for 1.5 years in a IT company and after that he quit in favor of a govt job because he wanted to do some "actual work" and not just sit around and twiddle his thumbs all day. See how experiences of people vary? I don't think one should look for job with the mentality of not having to work, then he will never succeed in life.

Re: FAQ and Help for Freshers In IT/Telecom

Mixed views are always there for every topic and in my opinion they're most welcome unless they lead to heated argument.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm enjoying the discussion till now. Therefore, requesting the mods to do nothing

Now on topic, IT, computers, technology or whatever it is, I've been a great enthusiast in this field since class 7th. I was always an example to learn from in this field. (many guys here would have similar history). From that time, to now, when I'm about to complete my computer science engg in a matter of months, I've been the same. But but but, somehow I don't want to be part of this world any more. Reason partly lies in running away from race of cattle herds, and partly due to my loose in interest in some core subjects like ds, ada, toc, and likewise.

Gradually, job security and more importantly social status began to lure me, which eventually pushed me in the world of general competition. I've also filled the form of CGL and honestly I'd leave any IT company (except the elites, which I'm not gonna make anyway, so don't care) if I get qualified. I've not lost the zeal towards my beloved field, but of now, can only christen it as "compromise".

Disclaimer: Above is just my personal POV, and it may differ from person to person.
