The system of IT education is set to take a U turn as universities churn out thousands of students who seem to be missing the most current techonology, firms are finding fresh graduates and students incompetent in the work place with little or very little understanding of new technologies effectively rendering there studies useless.
This has lead to many firms looking for graduates who have done practical sessions and experince in new standards and technologies during there studies as the established universities try to make amends thorugh there 19th century beauraucracy there seems to be little in the way of speedy change and training in new methods and standards which is the pivotol point of all new technology solutions. Hence the emergence of new groups who train themselves and utilise exisiting institutions to form there own elite groups, such groups as pak2600 a techonology forum which meets in Civil junction on first friday of every month from early evening to late late into the night and then utilises mailing list to estabilsh regular contact where the undocumented knowledge in the techonology sector is debated and details exchanged between ceos, entusiatiates, coders and hackers, and more formal ones like the evening sessions of the advanced new techonologies development group which meets in University college Islamabad.
The question on the firms in pakstans mind is wether the universities and thousands of institutes take heed or head to the own oblivion of cyberspace trash bins!!
