hello, i m a third year IT student.i have first class as far as marks r concened but i have come to know that very few companies actully come to my college for campus selection and the position and starting pay depends on the company and i expect to work with TCS,infosys etc with good payment. many of my friends r going for MS as it is dificult to get selected in such big companies and it's not sure that such companies will come to my college for selection . i m confused . i don't want to waste any time after my graduation so should i start studying for MS or do i have any chance to get to work with big companies just after my graduation as i won't be having any experience?

I don't know where you are from or what the market is like there so I don't want to presume anything.

But in my own experience I have worked with a number of people with Masters degrees. Personally I think it is best to get a few years of business experience before you go for a Masters degree. I think real world experience, of the right kind, is important and helpful for furthering your formal education.

I might also worry that if you want an entry level job, you might be considered over qualified if you have a Masters.

In my company, we would pay your tuition as well - something to think about. It may be possible to work and study at the same time.

Don't wait for the companies to come to you - go to them - make contacts at their Human resources departments and ask them directly what they are looking for.

First of all you have not mentionend which college you are doing you course from also what is the sucess ratio of your the colleges campus placements, Secondly if you are looking at the indian market it has got good scope even if you miss out on compainies during campus interviews, you can actually apporach companies & land up with a real good salary. now if you are considering MS, Then you have to ask yourself what r your future plans what do you want to do after you have done your MS?
