    In a dream...
    :yes::yes::yes: When will these people in the industry, pay their employees worth for their skills, not for the reputation of the institute they graduate...:(:(:(

    This mutual friend Jolly_Roger is talking about is really bright and talented guy.. I'm not saying this just because he's my friend.... He was selected to U of J'pura for BSc Biology, but went on with BSc Sp Hon's in SLIIT. He's among the top 10 (if not among top 5) students of the 2008 IT batch. Along with academic brilliance, I know how much he's technically capable, as I'm a batch mate and a close friend... Still I don't think he's paid enough for his potential, because I also know few guys from UoM who are receiving 2-3 times more than my friend.. One such guy who is from Mora didn't knew how to view assembly info in the Visual Studio environment (I know this 'cos I was next to him when he was struggling to find where assembly info was..!!! now please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to degrade the whole UoM alumni here...) He was a first year student of UoM, but Mabasher had still recruited him with a very high pay check.. It's OK to pay as much as the company pleases but there must be some reasonable association with the level of skills of the employees and their pay sheet.

    I'm mentioning all these, hoping that by any chance someone from these companies will lay their eyes on this, and give proper consideration to the point I'm emphasizing here....

    What you are saying is true. But skills are needed to go for the higher positions of the company. For example companies may give priority to UoM, UCSC when recruiting, but after that all the recruits are the same and they will get promoted according to their performances and skills. Another example is 1st class people will get an extra amount compared with others for the same position in same company and after some time they will converge into one.

    One of the reasons they give priority to those is most of the top level people are from those Uni's so eventually they prefer to recruit from them. Also when considering UoM they are Engineers when they graduate. I don't know whether SLIIT or other graduates get this immediately and as i know they get only after working for some time.

    Another thing is that as I feel in UoM, they don't learn everything that is there in the field as compared with SLIIT where they learn a lot.For example UoM graduates may only know only few languages where others will know lot of them. But the major difference is in UoM they learn how to solve practical problems whereas in SLIIT and other ones it's quite relatively law. Also they have mastered what they know. Also the industry also have a belief that others have a relatively low capability of solving new problems because they are used to a fixed learning system. Additionally UoM's have to learn all the other engineering disciplines for some extent which enhances their engineering skills.

    So that's why they are more preferred...
