Abstract: A career in IT is undoubtedly one of the most sought after in India, and is one that probably the largest number of Engineers (as well as non-engineers) go for. College education in CS/IT (as well as related disciplines) is expected to prepare the students for a career in IT. Often, however, colleges are not able to build sufficient knowledge and skills to provide a good launching for the career to the students. In this presentation-cum-discussion, first an overview of what a career in IT industry means is discussed. Then it discusses what are the capabilities needed to get a good start in the career. Finally, it discusses what students can do while they are in college to prepare themselves for a successful and satisfying career in IT.
