The companies specially MNCs have big responsibilities.They should not blindly patronise a few schools like some IITs or IIMs.It is insult to Indian talent and of wentire University system.History shows best talent and busienssmen are noit form these chools and from metro towns.Still they support blindly.This is not correct.Talent is there through out the country.Many good students may not get into these Institutes by a margin of 3-5 marks.Which means nothing.The whole examination system is defective.They only test a part of brain capability not entire personality-risk taking capacity,attitudes and real understanding and application ability.These some large Institutes are merely riding on back of huge grants and waste public or foreign money with unnecesary setups.Little has been done by them to contribute to original research or patents or solving societal problems.We could notn Indianise knowledge so far.They are cheap clones of West.Be it IIMA or IITD or any one else.Companies should also see if they are supporting recognised schools only.Merely money and glitter is not education.They should avoid unapproved schools and also stop offering huge paypackets and go to 'far and wide' Institutes to enourage the youth in India and they will not regret.I have seen brilliant guys in far flunbg places having good skill sets.India Inc and MNC should stop vulgar display of open support to these few elephantine setups of not much worth but with too much arrognace and over expectation.

I agreee to your view totally. I had worked with IBM previously, I had a chance to visit the IBM Research center at IIT Delhi for evaluation of some kind of product developed by IITians there. I was surprised to see the product developed by the IITians. It was the worst ever product I have seen, even a MCA student of some correspondence school could make it much better than what they had made and they priced it so high that it seemed like some rocket science they had used in it. IGNOU... Zindabad!!!
