Top 10 IT MNCs in India

Indian IT is no longer about just being a global talent base. The country is also emerging fast as a key market for both Indian and global technology companies. Thanks to a growing domestic IT market, even global companies are making rapid inroads in the Indian market.

In fact, IT MNCs outnumbered Desi tech firms in a recent survey done by Dataquest magazine on India's Top 20 IT companies in India.

What's more, it is not just the biggies like Microsoft, HP, IBM and Oracle battling it out with the Indian IT companies for top slots in the rankings. The swelling domestic IT market is attracting many more global tech firms to India and they are giving tough competition to the home companies on their turf.

Another key finding of the survey is that India is no longer just a key R&D location. The country is also fast gaining importance in terms of revenue generation. India revenues are rising and becoming noticeable in the global revenues of these companies.

Here's a peek into the top 10 tech MNCs in India and their business.

Ur Coversation style matters in an Interview !!

If you're not sure about the interests of the people you're about to meet, it's not a bad idea to take a quick look at the nightly news before you head off to the party. General knowledge and a working understanding of breaking news issues provide great conversation starters when all else fails. If you haven't had time to stay up to date on current affairs, some knowledge of the latest celebrity gossip can also stand you in good stead. A piece of silly or sensationalist scandal can break the ice with a like-minded person who is also bored to death by the heavy political discussion going on all around you.


If you're going to a professional function which represents a networking opportunity handed to you on a plate, it's worth your while doing a little research into the industry as a whole. Learn just a handful of buzzwords so that you can communicate with the other guests in the same language. In a situation like this, it's easy to prepare five or six conversation starters which are industry-specific, and convey the impression that you are an insider.


These techniques of striking up a conversation with a stranger are solid proof that there is no need to dread this social task. By throwing out plenty of conversational lines and asking open-ended and appropriate questions, you will find that the art of conversation is easier than it sometimes seems.

A Short look over Microsoft select ion Guidelines

Microsoft Selection Procedure

There were four sections. All were separate. The time alloted as well as the question papers also were separate for each section.

Section I : English language test - 25 Qstns.- 20Mints.

It contained usual & easy english language qustns. like prepositions, articles, antonyms-synonyms etc.
There were two paragraphs. One was about types of networks & another was about CGI scripting. There were
some easy qstns. asking info. from the para.

Section II : Mental ability - 25 Qstns.- 30 Mints.

It contained qstns. related to union & intersection like there r N no. of students in a class, S no. of them passed in 3 subjects, T no. of them passed in 2 subjects & U no. of them passes in all subjects, what no. of students failed in all subjects. Another type of qstns. were related to cubes, like there is a cube, one side of it is painted with blue color, the opposite side is painted with yellow color, now it is cut into 16 cubes of equal size, now how many cubes r having blue color at one side & no color at its adjucent side, how many cubes r having no color at any side etc.

Then there were qstns. like if + means -, * means /, - means *, / means +, then which of the following is true ; there were four options. Each having some calculation like 12+8-3*5/32=13. We have to select the option having the correct calculation.

Most of the questions were similar to the above mentioned patterns.

Section III : Aptitude test - 20 Qstns.- 20 Mins.

This section contained qstns. exactly like those asked in the Bank PO, Railways & UPSC exams. Its different from usual apti. qstns.

E.g. which two of the following are same : 11225689 : 11225986 : 11225689.
Then Data sufficiency qstns. like statement 1 is sufficient to get the answer, both 1 & 2 needed,
neither 1 nor 2 can give the answer etc.

Then Condition checking qstns. like there is a recruitment of clerk. Some conditions r given like the candidate should be graduate with 60%, his age should be less then 30 years, typing speed should be atleast 45 wpm. etc.

Based on this we have to answer a perticular candidate will be selected or not given his details. Then Some simple & usual riddles like Ram goes to 5 km east, then 5 km south, then west, now in which direction he is. Then a man inting to a photo says he is the son of my grandmothers' son like that.

Section IV : Programming - C & DFS OR VB - 40 Qstns.-
30 Mins.

U can choose either C & DFS paper or VB paper. I chose C & DFS.
This was the toughest part bcoz qstns. were lengthy & time was very short. Both C & DFS qstns. were almost
equal. Most of the C qstns. were asking about the output of the given code. The DFS qstns. were about link list, array, queue & also the graph theory. This section demands a thorough preparation of C & DFS & Graph theory.

10 Tips for Making a Career Choice in IT

1. Do not let money be the only reason.

Financial situations are always considered when one thinks over his or her career, it shouldn’t be the sole determining factor. You have to be practical. Money will come, but look at it as an eventuality rather than an immediacy.

2. Don’t move just because “everyone else is doing it”.

Remember, a mob has many heads, but no brains! Everybody seems to rush into what others regard as a “hot” career choice.

You have to be careful because often, you are not guided correctly (regarding your career), or a bunch of people you know (doesn’t matter even if you don’t!) rush into a particular career direction (in some cases, even the same company!), as it seems the easy way out.

3. Don’t get into IT simply because it is the “in thing”.

When you talk about the scope of IT, you will find it to be pretty wide. The monumental growth of the Internet, technology and increasing global dependence on IT, has expanded the scope of IT furthermore.

4. What are your skills and do they fit into the IT industry?

What is it that interests you? What are your abilities? What do you aspire to be? Self -awareness is key to making wise career choices. Knowing yourself and what you thrive on is half the battle won.

5. Specifically pertaining to the IT industry, what is it that interests you?

Do you wish to be more of a creator, provider or user of IT products? Are you the sort of person who wants to know how IT itself works, i.e. the inner workings and how you can be an creator, or you are more interested in how to get results using IT? How much do you know about the different IT career options, such as Networking, Database Administration, etc?

6. IT is fun.

What may be fun to you may be boring to another. Maybe the idea of an IT career excites you? You think it is ‘fun’. This has more to do with the nature of work and the professionals. What kind of a profile in IT excites you? What does the job require? What is your background? What are the skills required? Is it managerial or team oriented? Answers to these questions should indicate the area that suits you. Mind you, while every job may require hard-work and skills, I know of several IT professionals who have spent days together at work, without minimum rest and sleep, to get a project over with.

7. IT is a respected and much adopted profession.

But can you handle the challenges and of IT? Does working with advanced technology interest you? Are you fascinated by the very idea or concepts of Internet or technology and similar trends? You may like being on the cutting edge of technology.

8. IT is different.

The nature of IT offers professionals the opportunity to work in diverse areas over time, and sometimes even on an ongoing basis. It is not unusual to find IT professionals carrying out Tech support, Computer Networking, Training and Troubleshooting all in one job.

9. IT is knowledge driven field.

Does knowledge or the will to learn more drive you? Aspiring professionals must learn as much as possible about IT (or any career direction they plan to move towards) and its sections. A good way to acquire knowledge would be via the Internet (Google and Wikipedia), books and practice. Read IT magazines such as CHIP, Digit and Computers @ home and the IT sections of most newspapers and magazines.

10. Passion is what should be the most important reason.

You need to have passion for IT and how it works. . All areas of IT have opportunities and challenges.

Looking For A Job Is Easy But Landing Is Difficult - As A Fresher U Should....

Tips For Fresher

The world of possibilities suddenly opens up for you as soon as you graduate from college. No more sleepless nights trying to figure out what to write in a term paper and no more peer pressure in doing those crazy things during spring break. You are now unemployed but with great potential and could be hired based on your education and relative experience while in school.

However, looking for a job is very easy but landing one is a very difficult task. Remember that you’re not the only graduate this year and when the great job is available, you’ll be competing with hundreds of applicants.

To increase your chances of being hired, here are some tips that you may consider before and during job hunting. These are pretty simple but are often neglected by fresh graduates who are too excited to land a job.

Clean your online profile

Even before we reach college we are already members of different social networking sites. We often post pictures in these websites so that we can share with our friends our adventures and even the crazy things that we have done. Before you even apply for a job, check your profile and delete the pictures that could hinder you from being employed. Also advise your friends to do the same so that you can completely clean your online profile.

Proofread your resume like crazy

Remember that you are not in a deadline like your final thesis. Take your time in writing an excellent resume and proofread your resume. Read it twice or thrice and have a friend read the resume and read it again. It might sound crazy but you can never be too sure that you have a good resume.

Customize your resume for every company

Resumes used to be simple sources of data of the applicant. But that situation is long gone and resumes are used as a tool for increasing your chances of getting hired. Know the company philosophy and the skills they require and customize your resume based on that information. By customizing your resume to each company you are planning to work with, you are highlighting the skills and personalities the company are looking for from a candidate.

Update your professional profile

Aside from cleaning up your online profile, it’s time to update who you really are online. Use your network to spread the word that you are looking for a job. Use different online job search websites and update your profile there. Companies who are looking for candidates will usually access your information online and contact you if you like what you see.

Act professionally

Being young doesn’t mean you are given a free ticket to act casually during job interviews. You are already in the professional world and although you are young, you can show yourself as respectable as the president of the company by being professional.

Salary increments in IT companies in India

Salary increments in IT companies are lower this year than it has been in previous years. In some cases, significantly so.

EDS is giving an average increment of only 8 per cent to 10 per cent this year, substantially lower than the 18-20 per cent it gave last year.

"In some cases last year, it even went up to 40-50 per cent," said an employee of the company. That's the increment trend across the tech sector. "We have received lower increments this year," said an employee of Infosys Technologies. "Laterals got only some 8 per cent hike. A company security policy e-mail has also asked us not to share such details with anyone outside.''

Mohandas Pai, head of education & training in Infosys, said that inclusive of variable pay, the company's increments this year were in the range of 11 per cent to 13 per cent, against 13-15 per cent last year.

Senior HR executives at some large tech firms confided that their companies are not in a position to increase salaries '' beyond single digits' ' at least for a couple of years, till the global markets stabilize .

''Companies are hit from all corners. Market downturn, increase in hiring cost and billing pressures is choking even large players. This has forced them to drastically revise their increment formula,'' says Mohan Lal Menon, managing director, Sentient Consulting, a corporate consulting firm. The biggest pressure is seen to be coming from the US, which looks to be quickly slipping into a recession.

Almost 60 per cent of the revenues of many Indian IT companies come from the US. Tech firms are increasingly moving away from an equalitarian regime in compensation.

''Companies preferred it as they wanted to keep employees across the board (except the bottom 10%) happy, to keep attrition at bay. But in today's scenario, cost pressures are compelling them to change that approach,'' said the HR director of a tier 1 tech firm.

Job Apirants...Here goes a methodology for success

4 Magic Words For Success

It doesn’t matter what area you are in, it doesn’t matter what Your intentions are, you need these 4 magic words.Whether you realise it or not, you use these to achieve anything and everything, and any lack of success can be traced to a lack of one or more of them.They all begin with the letter ‘A’, blimey, just imagine if I went through the whole alphabet!

Attitude.
This includes taking responsibility for your life, for your actions and the consequences. It includes having the faith to push yourself beyond your comfort zone time and time again. You need to have the belief that you *expect* to succeed, and the belief that you are fully worthy of getting anything you want.If your attitude is correct, then you will have no trouble with

the second magic word:
Action.
Without action, all the dreams in your head, all your ambitions, will stay exactly where they are, in your head.Without action, you will forever be saying ‘one day’, and ‘when the time is right’. Take the first step, whatever it may be, take it.

You will either find that it *was* the right step, in which case you will realise that your goal is that bit closer, or you will find that you have taken a wrong step, and hey, guess what? This *also* makes your dream closer! It’s a win-win situation.When you take action, you will be truly astounded by the opportunities that present themselves to you, which you never would have thought of before hand. This shows that although making plans is essential, taking action is even more essential, because you open yourself up to all the help that unexpectedly comes your way.

A great example of taking action is the third magic word:
Ask.
Just ask! Do not think that the world knows what you want without you asking, and do not prejudge, do not decide what the world’s answer will be. Many people have a real problem with asking for things, it’s a failing in our education if you ask me, but it is stunning how often the answer is a simple ‘yes’, if you just have the courage
to ask.

And the fourth magic word beginning with the letter ‘A’?
Abracadabra.
Not a very good joke I agree, but it makes me laugh. Abracadabra, magic word…
Geddit? Hmm...
So there we are, get your ATTITUDE right, which will enable you to take ACTION, and often the simplest action you can take is just to ASK.
