Timin' itto perfection

"I AM not fascinated with the US nor the highly paid jobs there". In a country where every student's ultimate destination is the `Land of dreams', this statement surely sounds strange. More so, when it comes from a young, intelligent and bubbling gal.

But there are lots of those who don't want to tread the path leading to some software company in the yankee land. Like Tejaswini Tilak who is more fascinated with managerial work understanding the jobs, people and extracting work from them rather than just keying in some solutions into the computers sitting in plush air-conditioned rooms.

And the number of such youngsters is no doubt growing in the State. These `global managers of tomorrow' are a different tribe, which has acquired the sobriquet of factory churning out software professionals. And they are all set to create a new image for the State.

Already in the limelight for the performance in the IIT-JEE, the State's students have come up with yet another spirited performance at the entrance examination for admission into the soughtafter IIMs. More than 50 students from the State this year have made it into the IIMs across the country and most of these belong to the Triumphant Institute of Management Education (TIME) in the city.

Several other students have got into top business schools and premier institutes such as XLRI, FMS, IIFT and IRMA. Views expressed by the students at a get-together of successful candidates from the Institute reflected growing passion for the IIMs among the youth of this `software bitten' State.
