5. What is your take on that?
A. Sir i personally feel IT is a highly competitive business, with the Chinese, Phillipinnes hanging around the hook with greater efficiency it is better to be talent organization rather than discrimination organization. (P- 1 seemed to be slightly in disagreement...)
I continued...Sir in the entrance process the Colleges are intaking through the government norms, the students are going through four years of training and i think to offer career related benefits for the long span is not required, i personally know individuals who are from reserved categories and are employed with various corporates in high position and sometimes outperform the General Category candidates, so to infer that someone from category is talent deficient is a faulty assumption in itself.
