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?

Again, we all know we use like 50% or less of what we learned at school. People from other branches will have to put in that little extra effort. But then, they are also doing something totally unrelated to what they did at school. Fair game?
Grades & scores are just boosters for your self esteem; if you look very carefully, they may not matter much in the long run.

Hey.. I personally feel that everybody has his own niche.. now coming to the discussion of the so-called core-compsci jobs going to other branches, I do not have any grudges.. if they are good at it.. let them have it.. just being a comp-sci does not qualify you for, or assure you a core compsci job.. you need to be good at it.. and that is the exact reason for doing an MS or Phd or watever.. So you can be sure none of the people aspiring for MS or doing MS currently are gonna regret it.. neither is anyone of us going to regret having taken compsci.. coz I feel we have as much fun as anybody else in any other branch.. wat say??
Do u guyz think that the kind of app development we are doing requires a B. Tech. CSE with 7+ CGPA.. And if the US is looking for good acads for this kind of job, probably thats where its loosing its money to India.
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.. Which ofcrs is available only for PGs n Phds..
Again.. Its not just that everybody has his own niche.. Its also that we vent yet found ours.

Nope; not really. I know some people who are doing this. They are from various backgrounds, chem, mech etc. You have to have skills, accpted. But it's not just the Phd guyz who r doing this. Compsci is a general science. With the trend, everyone knows a bit of it.
