With advent of liberalisation in mid 90's, lakhs of jobs in private secor was predicted. This came true ,however majority of the jobs were in IT services,hospitality etc. Prior to liberalisation, only IITians and IIM grads were grabbing good jobs. Only 1% of the candidates appearing in these exams were able to clear. What about the remaining 99%?. Liberalisation brought a plethora of job oppurtunities and that inclused copy, paste jobs in IT for BE/ Btechs. Customer care banking jobs for MBA's and BPO jobs for ordinary graduates. However, with all these jobs, ppl (who were not getting any thing earlier) are able to make decent money and with experience, they are able to carve a better place for them by getting into core product based IT companies(at par with engineers of best colleges)/ into leading investment banks (at par with the MBA's of top notch companies). even with customer care BPO experience , folks are moving up the corporate ladder. So, now 8/10 are able to earn a good salary against 1/ 10 before liberalisation.Moreover, its upto these employees in low rung jobs to increase their skill sets (apart from their routine skills)to move up. There is no substitute for work experience, irrespective of the kind of work ex it is. Now, even a ordinary english speaking graduate is able to earn at least 10K/month. Someone who couldn't clear the IIT can still be a enginner.
So, I feel that this condition is much better than early days when students were burning midnite oil
