is 4 years work ex with wipro of much worth?
I got a job in wipro wase. i cannot leave for 4 years, tied by a bond. after 4 years, will top mba colleges(like the iims, spjain, etc) get impressed with this kind of work ex that is not so reputed in the field? So should I take the job? Please please help.
@ Someotherguy
A work experience as Wase-ian in Wipro Technologies will be definately considered. If you look at work done by a project engineer or a senior software engineer in Wipro Tech will be equivalent to what a Wase student will do. Only difference will be the package !!
Even Wase students get onsite opportunities and even they can become Team leads but their Icards will show Wase Academy written on it.
You will definately get a good work ex as a software eng thru it
Hi Puys,
I joined PG a few days ago and I started a new thread, but the moderators suggested me to post it here: So it goes one more time..........
All I can see here is that most enginneers are going for an MBA. There is a considerable population from commerce and other backgrounds. I could not see anybody from the science background. Can you please tell me: How much is the chance of getting into one of the IIMs from the science background? I will be appearing in CAT 2009 this year. I have done M.Sc. in Chemistry from IIT Kanpur in 2007. Worked as a Junior Research Fellow for 1 year (2007-2008 ), joined Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh as a PhD student last year and left the program in May 2009. Right now I have joined CL for CAT prep. and not doing any job. Unfortunately there is not much opportunity for doing a respectable job in India for science students without a PhD degree and some Post-doctoral experience. India has got almost no commercial research industry except a few outsourcing companies like ChemBiotech, Syngenta etc. and Astra-Zeneca in Bangalore. I wish to do MBA mainly because I want to establish my own company doing professional quality first hand research work in Bio-organic Chemistry. What should be my career path? Is going into an IIM would be helpful? Most business persons are not actually even familiar with the research industry and have no idea how to establish a company in which PhD and Post-docs from premier universities of the world like MIT, Princeton, UCSF work towards changing the history of the mankind. e.g. Celera Genomics, which have done much of the work behind the Human Genome Project. But no such company in India exists since Management majors have never appreciated research as an industry due to their lack of knowledge in research itself. Reddy's lab is a good effort but this is only a very small venture in terms of what can actually be done. What I want to do in life is to bring great minds under one roof, manage them to perform like different people playing different musical instruments in a concert. Nobody has done that in India. Lack of industry interest in research has hindered many progress. I will give one example: some years ago, my previous mentor Prof. Sabyasachi Sarkar at IIT Kanpur invented a method to prepare Carbon Nanotubes from soots obtained by burning mustard oil. The invention got some coverage in major newspapers in India but he could not apply for a patent due to initial lack of funds originating from the lack of understanding of industry people of the potential of research. After some time the Bayer company of Germany acquired the patent of this particular method...!!! This is the cheapest method of manufacturing Carbon nanotubes till date.(He managed to get an American patent sometimes back of a procedure to prepare water-soluble carbon nanotubes). If you can give me any idea of what kind of B-school shall I consider to join, it would be really great...!!!! And after all, shall my "not doing any job right now" status is going to affect much?!

hey...i might not be a mba student but from what i read you have pretty much planned out future...its good for you....just prepare honestly for cat and score a good percentile.i am sure you would be able to impress the pi panel with your thoughts and your future plans....if you do well it doesnt matter if you are from a science or engineering background,you would surely get admission into a good b school
(By the way you have a really good profile ,it would surely help you during your final selections......)

Hi Guys,
I'm a fresh engg. graduate (CSE) and have 2 job offers before me. One of them is an enterprise-level tech support profile and the other is a normal software engineer (developer) profile.
I'd like to clarify that the tech support profile is not the conventional BPO tech support, but enterprise-level tech support. Which basically demands much more specific and higher level expertise. It is placed very high in the technical support space.
The software engineer profile is the usual coding and development profile and involves development of software for use by the organisation itself.
I would like to know which of the 2 profiles would serve me better in B-school admissions and also help me more during my MBA. I've heard tech support isn't as well-appreciated as a development profile. Also, I wanted to know if the compensation offered by the companies is a criterion when B-schools are considering you for admission.
Hope you guys can help. Thanks 😃

As per me the SE role is better than the tech support role. even if u r in a enterprise level support people will look at it from the same point of view. another thing is in a SE role u would learn a lot many things which ll not be there in the tech support role.
as far as the compensation is concerned at the time of gdpi they dont matter much. but definitely at the time of ur final placements they will. as of now just concentrate on ur CAT as u have ample time in hand. score well and everything will fall in place.
All the best....

Hello Puys...!!
A lil introduction.
I am a software engineer with 2 yrs of work - Ex, but recntly i have switched to equity markets & now i am a full time trader & i am doing decently there.
I have a query, it would be a great help if someone can guide me about it.
I will be joining B School (not finalized which one) in year 2010, there i need to show My work Ex in equity markets along with proof of income.
So for that purpose whether a DMat account statement will suffice or do i need any other PaperWork/registration etc. to consolidate it.
Thanks for taking time to read my query.
hey puys ...
I have just completed my Engg. in IT and aspire to take admission in good MBA college ths year .

I still have few months in my hand,so are there any certified courses ( like NCFM ) that could help me in the same .
Thanxx in advance...
