The modern century is a phenomena which cannot exist without the sole existence of computers. In fact, it has intruded the bedrooms of the corporate engineers and business magnets. With the spectrum of computer applications widening all over the world, the software industry in India too has been growing almost proportionately. India is very fast cropping up as one of the mega-leaders in the arena of Information Technology. The Indian IT software sector has shown phenomenal growth in the past few years, & today the industry is considered a major base for offshore IT services across the globe.
India also has many IT software and services companies listed on the NASDAQ. In fact the figures for the software export industry are impressive. India’s software and services exports are substantial. This year the total revenue aggregate for the sector is expected to exceed US$ 47.8 billion, nearly a ten-fold increase over the aggregate revenue of US$ 4.8 billion, reported in FY 1998 and the direct employment is likely to cross 1.6 million. Indian and India-centric companies have reached critical mass: a substantial number of the Fortune 1000 companies are their customers. According to a recent story, by 2010, the Indian companies will be world class IT-services, software product, IT-enabled services and E-business focused companies. They will have global dominance in their core areas of legacy/client server systems, clear ascendancy in cross-border IT and IT-enabled services and an unassailable position in software products and E-business.

There has been a rapid shift towards computer-oriented careers in the past decade or so. Instead of the fact that nearly 68,000 new professionals are emerging out of India every year, still the manpower in IT sector fall short by 2.2 million professionals in the next 5 years. Thus there is more scope in IT than any other career field. The scenario in employment sector on the software front is not only healthy and encouraging but stupendously stimulating and promising too. In fact, the employment scene on the software front is so heartening today that many computer engineers, basically the hardware people, are switching over to software. So much so that the gap between supply and demand for trained software personnel is expanding.
Naturally, with demand overtaking supply, the emoluments too are rising for the software personnel. Consequently, a steady, sound and exhaustive elaborate knowledge has become an essential requisite today even more than a day’s Breakfast or Dinner.

Extracurricular activities are significant to your college education because they help you apply what you learn in the classroom: the abstract theories and the philosophies that you learn to a real world example. When students are a student government officer, like a treasurer or a leader of a club, they learn some very important lessons about political science, about accounting, and about how to communicate with people.

Those are all things that you read about in class, but they’re not necessarily things that you get a chance to practice. The other thing that’s actually significant about being involved in extracurricular activities is that after you graduate, you’ve gained a lot of practical experience on the job, or at least experienced with other people the practice of interacting, creating programs and budgets, and promoting your ideas. It’s important to think that there are a lot of people who mark off from college every year. Many of them will have majored in the same thing you did.

They will have achieved the same grades that you did. What do you do to make yourself stand out? It’s the extracurricular participation that you have that will be that value added on your recommence that will really make you stand out.
