Hi, I am sure whatever statistics you have read is either skewed or it probably takes into account of all the ''Ameneties'' that our cabinet babus get. A simple graduate who takes some computer course and joins a software concern and simply do some database management earns easily above 10k and in few years he will be earning above 25k per month. Well, I have science graduate friends who are getting paid nearly 80k per month just after five years of experience for doing as per their own admission sundry work in the name of CRM. Now a PhD from IIT who joins our governments Atomic energy as a Scientist, how much do u think he gets. Blieve me my dear Rs.8000. And you want to compete with developed nations in R&D and what not!! Do you know how many experienced scientists and engineers have been pulled out of BARC, DRDO and ISRO by offer of huge pay by like of GE and Biocon?? Still some stupids (thats what others tell me) like me stay back with government research organisation..not because we have no takers..we have plentry, but becasue of something called internal satsifaction of working for the gov research centre.But I am not sure how long one will stay so when u see even a call
