The Indian Thread (TiT) # 14

<p>ur right illbeback…ive heard from many ppl that its kinda stupid to go to america and then come back to do job in india…cuz indian companies higher more of indian ppl…unless u r coming back from sumthin like MIT or Caltech!!!</p>

<p>Hi people,
Can anyone tell me whether the December test scores reach the admission’s office (for RD) in time.</p>

<p>and does anyone know abt the dates MEgadeth hits India.</p>

<p>ft - i agree that if an indian firm (or even an MNC operating in India) were to look for an engineering graduate - they would prefer engineering students from India.</p>

<p>i was thinking more from a business/specialized fields. there arent as many undergraduate biz programs that’d allow students to also take technical classes that US insitutions would. Also, in terms of specialized fields, i think US students would have an edge. for eg. financial engineering :wink: even my friends doing mba at jb or doing their ca, only have vague idea about black-scholes model. now if any of the large investment houses want to structure an Indian default swap, i think that a financial engineer from the US is a better candidate than indian engineer/business kid…ofcourse, i could be wrong…but who knows…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>they do. .</p>

<p>MEGADETH in India?? When? Where?</p>

<p>Indians ROOOOCKKK!!!
sophmore from MS</p>

<p>thanks guys… i guess I’ll study in INdia for a year and then reapply if i still think I dont want to pursue economics but biomed engineering again.Or maybe I could defer my admisssion for the spring term.</p>

<p>india stinks</p>

<p>harry…3734 is the number of times ur gonna get hit on ur head by all of us if we see you anywhere 4 saying india stinks.</p>

<p>hahah. India’s alright. I’m Indian. I have family there. I visit often. But the lifestyle there is just so different from here in America. I have to say that India is more cultural, family-oriented, and spiritual, but I still prefer the American way.</p>

<p>You know how they have the classic American dream? What would be the Indian dream?</p>

<p>hehehe jk jk jk india is okay</p>

<p>i think the great indian dream is survival</p>

<p>aaa but if you want that kinda grandiose stuff theono pick up the great indian novel by shashi tharoor</p>

<p>india doesnt have a one-size-fits-all dream. everyone has their own dreams. thats the problem.</p>

<p>GUJU vandy dreamer… haha… guju’s rock the world!!</p>

<p>Merc : I think they start the tour sometime in october visiting 4 major cities (I know Delhi and Bangalore).You wont be here though (at IUB i Suppose).</p>

<p>since there’s nothing going on, here’s an interesting article:

<p>Hey people…
did anyone of you take the TOEFL. If you did please tell me when can I expect to get my powerprep course (it’s been abt a month I registered for the Aug 8th test date).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>dont remember when exactly mine came but it did come really late, maybe a couple of weeks before the test, a month and a half after registration</p>

<p>shash: thanks…I was getting kinda worried.</p>

<p>Hey on TiT 13 I saw a certain callthecop post abt Harvard or Stanford summer school…i s anyone of you here aware what these might be and any other good programs like these available to intl’s (especially at MIT).</p>

<p>Sigh…TiT 13 was so much cooler.Probably coz there were a lot more guys who were applying.</p>
