14 Lakhs for admission to B.Tech IT !!

A prominent college in Coimbatore is charging 14 to 21 lakhs for admission to their B.Tech IT course this year - so says todays `Malayala Manorama'. Students from Kerala are reportedly flooding Coimbatore looking for professional college admission because of the confusion with regards to self financing colleges here.

Vivek says Microsoft has taken 8 students from Govt.Engg College, Trivandrum - the salary is said to be around 9 lakhs!

Our `industry' is surely booming!

:) Enjoy this small piece which I found from my professor's page.


The Lament of the Real Programmer
Sir Roger Needham (Cambridge)

Oh once I could program, the best in the land
I wrote in raw hex with unwavering hand.
My mind's eye could follow all possible paths
But now I can't manage the new-fangled maths

I cut lots of code for unaudited cash
And nobody cared that I rarely did wash
But now I'm burned out and admit with a sigh
That the kids from the High School are better than I

I lasted a while as an old-fashioned hack
Because I could knock out a protocol stack
But the mathmos are here now - they've come pretty far
And there's nothing for me but to prop up the bar!.

Sure - that's a better way to mint money.

Today's Malayala Manorama has a front page ad by a pvt college which talks about the `boom in the IT field' and the resulting employment opportunities; the interesting point about the ad is that it looks like a news report! Those guys would have paid a good amount to Manorama to make it look that way.
