JOB SCENE@IIT(B) aka Cut Throat War

I don't get out of bed for less than $10000 a day.

If only JEE had been an exam based on morals and not analytical skills, Linda Evangelista(a top supermodel) would have been an IITian. Except for the lucky few who are actually studying what they wanted to study(and I am not talking of Comp Sc. or Elec. under-grads), most of us enter the hallowed portals of IIT with dollar dreams in our eyes and our feet firmly in the clouds.

When in a few months, the grind of daily academics snuffs out the glow of achievement, all that is left is of the 'The Great Indian Dream'(Get into IIT-Get a job-Go to US) is GET A JOB.

A pseud senior, in a rare moment of confession(fueled by a few shots of whisky and beer) spoke thus:
"
What are investment bankers more than glorified bean counters,
What are managers more than glorified shop floor supervisors,
What are software programmers more than glorified data entry operators,
and what are we,IITians, more than glorified whores,
ready to sell our brains to the highest bidders?
"

So this is what we say to all recruiters who come to IIT(B):

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you 'love' me

Mind you, we IITians are nothing if not ultra-competitive and intelligent(and jealous).

So in an institute where there is a paucity of girls (and those there are wouldn't be touched by a ten foot bargepole otherwise), the real show-stopper when it comes to the game of one upmanship is:
THE JOB SCENE

And this is one area where love(job) ke liye kuch bhi karega holds true.
