3.6 LPA Isn't Bad : Abhishek Nair Posts

"I might get in trouble, but this needs to be said:

3.6 LPA isn't bad if you're from a tier 500 college and lack programming skills."

He further said, "Don't expect a 1Cr package without a solid project portfolio.

Don't expect too much if your resume's biggest highlight is your bachelor's."

3.6 LPA Isn't Bad : X Users React

One user said, “You are missing the whole point that started this debate. No-one asked to gv equal salaries to T1 and T3 graduates. Point was to highlight the difference between increments in the compensation of top leadership and fresh graduates in service companies in last 14+ years.”

Another said, “What I disagree with is the insinuation that a Tier 1 college student deserves 1 crore and is always a genius."
