Hardware Training Taking New Shape In India
In a short span of 10 yrs. (1988-1998) the IT Industry has grown to a whopping Rs. 14,000 Crore, and if projections are to be believed, the size may grow to an even more astounding figure of Rs. 60,000 crore in next 5 years. Of this, Hardware & Networking, as an industry accounts for 50% share. These figures are of great relevance as Hardware & Networking will open up the largest number of doors to fulfilling & high paying careers. The IT movement is poised to be a mass movement.

So Many Computers But few Hardware Engineers ...
* Over 50 lakh Computer and Peripherals in India presently and less than 7500 skilled Engineers which means that 1 engineer on 500 computers & peripherals, but it should be 150 computers & peripherals per engineer. The current shortage is 25,000 engineers, which will go upto 90,000 by year 2002.
* Very few Engineers are there in the chip level repairment, which leads to high forex cost, and high breakdown time.
* Lack of Hardware, Networking & Internet Technology Professionals.
* A career in Hardware, Networking and Internet Technology is high paying. In fact it is the career choice of this millennium.
