hi all... i just read the article about how much a fresher in the IT industry earns per month... the usual pay is about 15-16k(ctc) and in hand wld be about 12-13.. infy offers 14k ctc and in hand 10-11... at least tht's wot i was offered along with my batchmates who entered with me... i just sent in this to make sure ppl get the right idea abt the pay offered in the IT industry... there's usually an exodus of graduate engineers from other fields as diverse as metallurgy and civil engg into the IT field in hopes of getting an "easy" job with a "good" pay... my advice to such ppl wld be, stick to your own field as far as possible... thnx...! neetha...
