Think of a guy who is not a passout of a good college, had no campus interviews, but is talented. Not all can afford to study in good colleges. This guy cannot even attend entry level interviews of big companies because they are not from recs or iits. In the interviewif the person is able to display immense capabilities and at times when a guy is capable of performing a job better than experienced persons. What is this fuss all about? The work that is performed counts more than their experience. I dont think India will be missing out on business worth billions as some one mentioned earlier just because they faked their resume. It might miss out on billions if they recruit a worthless candidate. In the company that i work for, i had taken a few interviews till date and dont mind people faking their resumes provided i find them capable of performing their job/role efficiently.

there are too many companies hiring now and almost all companies visit the engg colleges for campus interview,even if the company do not visit that college there are more than enough walk-ins conducted for freshers,essentially what i mean is that the guy who have the potential will easily get a job, its just when people are prdinary, getting a job becomes dificult.

Its justifieed taht companies should not allow students from XYZ college to attend interview. If this happens then whats the value of IITs and RECs. If you justify them then you and me or any one is justified to be apart of IITs or IIMs. if you fell justified show me some fake ways how to get into IIMs.

The number of students passing out of other engg colleges are much more than coming out of RECs and IITs. If everyone wants to hire only RECs and IITs, where should the other college pass out folks go. They try n try n try and when nothing works out. They fake their CV. Its because of the people from IITs RECs sitting in these big companies, the other college folks are forced to fake their CVs. When sending the CVs to the overseas clients to get projects, its these very same IITs and RECs who do it. Stop double standards.

But logistics won't allow them to go for only IITs. The requirement is much more. So, they all colleges are being made happy nowadays.

not chance, but definitely, glow has a point here... iitans SHOULD get the first (not only) preference. I'm NOT an IITan.

Faking degrees or experience is never a good policy. But in as Pranav mentioned,there is an entirely different side for the story. In India None of the big companies consider inexperienced and efficient candidates if they are from a less known institution and/or with out a high percentage of marks. Infact majority of the guys who boasts about high percentages and reputed collages are from the creamy layer of the society. So there are these aspiring candiates who comes from less known collages in rural areas or who doesn't enjoy a sound socio-economic status and with out any godfathers :). For them faking or massaging resume seems like the only option to get a good job in a reputed company . Again once you are in a job what matters is the output, All the companies need good performers only. Once again, getting a high percentage by simply assimilating bookish knowledge is entirely different from facing challenges in real life.
