Analyse this

Know what? Top companies which were once considered core-compsci are also opening up for non-circuit branches in some colleges from the coming year!! All they look for are some programming language knowledge and good analytic skills. It doesn't matter if you know Dijsktra's algo or not, if you can solve a given problem interestingly, then you're in!!

Have we all wasted our time, energy and money? We could have very well goofed in our high school got lower entrance rank and taken up non-circuit branch and enjoyed - we'd have ended up in the same place here!!

Hope this trend wouldn't depress the MS folks and aspirants though..you would definitely have your own interests..don't scream at yours truly :D

On a lighter note..talking to some of our college seniors out here (which there are plenty in number in my company), we discussed about batch gettogethers and stuff. Coming to the topic of keeping in touch, I think we are the first batch&branch having a blog?! Well others may have yahoo groups, but we have a blog eh?

I dont call app development as core compsci job.. Its juz one of those things which a compsci can do.. May be we can say that developing a JVM @ Sun or BEA.. or developing some new algos @ Google or Yahoo or do providing technical consultation for app development are hardcore compsci jobs..

Dey (like Sriram would have put it).. Barrel, Aen indha Kolai Veri? huh? :)
