INTELLIGENCE Syndrome

“Students from IIMs and IITs are hired with 1crore package” but the students from “not so famous” colleges still strive to get a profile and work for a mere 2.4 Lakhs package. Consulting firms like BCG and Mc Kinsey are hiring students of IIMs as Consultants while some firms recruits MBAs from “not so famous” colleges on profiles, which can be easily handled by a B.Sc student or an engineering graduate. Some are blessed to get flooded with opportunities on day zero while others roam with their resumes just to find an opportunity to prove his worth and convince others that even they have the right attitude and the zeal to make it happen if given an OPPORTUNITY. The reasons for rejection are numerous for students from “not so famous” colleges and it ranges from working on a suitable profile, experience and lack of knowledge.

“ We are impressed with your profile but regret to inform that your profile does not meet our requirements” is the only answer which students from “not so famous” colleges deserves.

An effort to make it happen is the only thing which everyone aspires, whether he is a geek from IIMs or students from some “not so famous” colleges. The only criteria for intelligence are not having a degree from IIM but the zeal to achieve the best, whether the person is a fast learner or not and whether he is able to perform or not matters. But, do the corporate believes and are ready to give that single opportunity to the students from “not so famous” colleges. May be, exposure and opportunity can help the students and even the corporate to get the best.
