Why freshers working in TCS are generally considered as dumb?

I was really motivated to write this post after reading Facebook statuses of my dear friends-"Finally got placed in TCS.","Going to work with TCS" and blah blah blah...! Question to my dear friends is not-"How TCS is biggest employer of India." but what you are going to do in TCS as fresher.

So basically problem is not with working of yours but your mindset. It is clear that all of us wants to be a software engineer. But it is only true for CSE and IT students. Question may arise about other engineering stream students like Mechanical, Production engineers. They also call themselves as software engineers and hide reality by saying Software is my passion. Really, is coding your passion? If really coding is your passion why don't you join Oracle, Flipkat, Microsoft and Google. Don't you think that's an absurd truth? Why don't you join a core software company and why are you complacent with your job position in service-sectored companies like TCS? Fact is that you will never get a chance to code and you don't know how you will be used.

Company is not a problem at all but your mindset as always. Accept the fact that you joined TCS only because you are not good enough to get another good job. You will have to accept this reality in  95% of fresher joining such companies. When you know that you are not good at coding, why not others should call you dumb. What about other 5% freshers, later or sooner they end up leaving TCS with ZERO Experience.

You simply join TCS as a simplistic approach for career choice but I am very sad to say you are one of them. Yes off course TCS is mass employer, I know at least 80 TCSers who proudly say they don't know doubly linked list, yes they may not be dumb but as a coder they are always.

Hope so I will not see one of you at Nagpur Passport center calling names of applicants.

I think following people should join TCS:

1. If you are so called engineer who sucks at technical skill and yet want to be part of IT industry with approach of  no interest and improvement in life.

2. If you want government like job with stability and sluggish growth rate.

3. If you don't have capability of another placement and are in dire need of job.

4.  If you plan to go for higher studies and just want a job for sake of convenience. Really 1% with this objective go for higher studies after wasting 2 years of corporate life.
