>>By A City Reporter
>> GUWAHATI, Dec 9 ? The dream of north-eastern students to work in
>>big conglomerates has started turning into a reality.
>>
>>Whereas students of the region are getting maximum benefits and
>>opportunities through association with the brand names, the firms
>>too are queuing up in search of skilled and stable manpower from
>>the region.
>>
>>?Workforce from the region and the State managed to come in the
>>good books of the management and IT companies by dint of their
>>commitment and a stable pattern of working in comparison to the
>>workforce from other parts of the country,? feels Pratul Chandra
>>Kalita, Institute Coordinator of the North East Professional
>>Institutes Forum (NEPIF).
>>
>>The NEPIF is a joint forum of 11 premier engineering and management
>>institutes of North East India endorsed by the institute
>>authorities. The forum has already organized six common placement
>>events for its member institutes, from where organisations like
>>ICICI Bank, Genpact, Satyam, Colgate Palmolive, Kanbay (Capgemini)
>>TCS and TVS Motors have picked up 126 of the students.
>>
>>According to an estimate, the State requires raising its capacity
>>by 17 times over the existing infrastructure in degree engineering
>>level and five times over the existing capacity in diploma
>>engineering level to be at par with other States of the country.
>>However, despite this, the students from this region have managed
>>to have a sizeable presence in the BPO sector of the country.
>>
>>The companies that have planned a visit in the State in the coming
>>days are TCS, Infosys Technologies, Infosys BPO, Wipro
>>Technologies, First Source (Formerly known as ICICI one Source),
>>IBM Daksh Bangalore and IBM Daksh, Gurgaon.
>>
>>Recently the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) recruited six students
>>from Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Nalbari, and the next event was held
>>on December 3 at the Department of Chemistry, Cotton College by IBM
>>Daksh, Banglore for graduates in any discipline passing out in
>>2008. Infosys Technologies Limited and Infosys BPO will recruit
>>students at the same venue it was learnt.
>>
>>?They have profiles for various domains such as Banking, Insurance,
>>Telecom, Procurement, Customer service, Financial & Accounting,
>>Knowledge Service, HR Operations, Life Sciences & Order
>>Management,? he added.
>>
>>?Our other placement events will take place on December 10 and 11.
>>We have also initiated talks with some of the firms like Vodafone
>>and Kotak but their visit is still to be finalised,? added Kalita.

>>Recently, Wipro BPO, the BPO arm of global IT giant Wipro, and
>>Gauhati University (GU) organized a mega job fair for students of
>>the university. In this first ever partnership at this scale in the
>>north-eastern part of the country, Wipro selected around 42
>>students for providing job in BPO.
>>
>>Kandarpa Kumar Sarma, training and placement officer, GU said,
>>?Nearly 42 students are selected by Wipro during the fair. Those

>>Though the State and the region can not boast of the best quality
>>infrastructure in its education sector, the number of students
>>joining the job after getting through the selection procedure is
>>higher than many of the leading States of the country.
>>
>>This credibility and the dedication of the North-east work force is
>>sure to draw the national and multinational companies for the
>>recruitment drive to the region in future,? added Kalita.

>> Putting it another way, the National Governors Association's

>> The Alliance for Excellent Education, Asia Society, Business
>>Roundtable, Council of Chief State School Officers, ED in '08, and

>>the PISA results to provide a unique opportunity for media,
>>policymakers, educators, the business community, and other
>>concerned citizens to join an important discussion focused on
>>improving the performance of U.S. students. Gene Wilhoit of the
>>Council of Chief State School Officers explains that "The release

>> Business Roundtable President John J. Castellani, learning of the

>> Roy Romer, former governor of Colorado and superintendent of the
