India’s IT Talent Pool – A Myth or Reality

Kolkata, India, January 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Recently, there has been a lot of talk over the big IT talent pool in India which is growing at exponential rates. Every bureaucrat and market research agency in the country will show towering numbers of institutions offering formal courses on Information Technology and students passing out from these institutes.

But the burning question is - Is this talent employable?
The biggest challenge that the Indian IT industry faces today is the ever-growing gap between graduating engineers and employable graduates. Most institutions teach programming languages and software applications. Thus they teach the tool. But, they do not teach how to use these tools to deliver results and thus impart benefit to businesses. If one wants to be a professional and attain the capability to serve the industry, he must know how to deliver results.

One of the major drawbacks of traditional education system is that training is imparted by faculty members who are mostly engaged in teaching. They can impart very good theoretical knowledge, but often lack the capability of delivering practical techniques and guidelines which comes with live experience in the given field.

Indus Net Technologies – one of the largest and fastest growing Kolkata based Internet strategy company has launched Indus Net Academy, a state-of-the-art finishing school to create employable talents in the ever growing Internet service industry.

This academic institution will offer professional courses in the field of internet services like web designing, web programming and Internet marketing with greater emphasis on practical and usable aspects. The training will be imparted by working professionals who have extensive knowledge and expertise in the subject. The institute is located right at the heart of the technology hub of Kolkata in Sector V.
