Dear All,
Is this true that by pursuing ONLY CS(and graduation), one has not much importance in today's competetive market?
The net says 200,000 or more CS are required in future but the current lot is not getting placed?

if suppose in selecting a gold jewleary if some small stone is missed we cannot buy that item it self, even if we buy also we cannot pay much..
same thing is happening here
i think once should improve their skills and expertise in subject and practical aspects for successful career.
it is all in our hands..

CS field has become quite complex now as nowadays company is bound with different corporate, taxation and labour laws etc. If as a CS you can handle all this then single qualification would be enough. Simply show your knowledge, capability and attitude to the recruiter and he won’t ask you for more than one qualification.
In fact scope of CS has increased due to the lack of qualifies members. But there is no harm in going for the additional course.
Please mark my words (For CS Students):
If you really want to grow in your CS career, either add good legal knowledge or add good finance knowledge with your secretarial profile. In future you won’t be able to grow just on the basis of your secretarial/ROC compliance knowledge. This is very important observation and you can verify the same from profile given on various job portals.

CS course has much importance, but if you add Legal qualification or finance qualification it gives so much weightage.
Is it correct Ankur Sir.

Well... you should try to understand one and only thing...u gotta believe in urself... i dont know why are u underestimating urself and the esteemed profession? why do we CS always have tht gut feeling that our profession is lesser than a CA or an MBA?... if you think that today's job market is bad...let me tell you I am CS and with a work experience of merely 6 yeras...this 5th March i had two confirmation letters in my hand from two different companies with a package which most of the CAs with my work ex might envy!
infact when i actually started getting salary almost 4 years back...i was getting paid higher than what qualified CAs are willing to take and just get employed anyhow today. Also i am a CA Finalist too so i really admire the CA profession. it is unique in its own. But i am capitalising fully on CS and CA final isnt on cards today.
So be happy and work hard. Why blame the course of losing its shine?

It would be wrong in pondering on the fact that cs is loosing relevance , while in fact the company secrataries weightage , at least statutorily has been increased with passage of Companies act ....... Especially with provison like One man company etc..... However one should notice that Chartered Accountants also do not get employment that easily ... Those who are knowledged , stay with the flow and keep adapting always do get the best opportunities ..... Even Chartered Accountants are increasing their caliber now-a-days with an additional Cfa/frm/M.B.A.
Regular university course Mba is pathetic .... There are so many repetitive subjects .....
Even the Very nature of cs course mandates us to have full knowledge of law (cs has knowledge as lawyer but is not professionaly and legally a lawyer )
Therefore an additional law degree may simply be more helpful to a C.s .
C/s as a standalone course still is attractive for Job seekers because when companies take you they prefer the legal side in Cs more than Financial side ,,,,,,, Yet more knowledge is always better .... Its norm , not just of the commerce side , but of science side as well ...... Its applicable to every advanced job .
So the consideration that cs is loosing relevance is wrong .... Increase in Number of students registering is a proof of that
Thank You All
What in finance sector are some people referring to in the above posts?
I understand the CS+LLB scene , but CS+Finance(some course) is bit hard to digest.
Most of the comments are very relevant and I sincerely thank all of you for the same. I will definitely look forward to give my december exams with utmost dedication .
PS: Please tell me the finance courses which have been referred. I may pass the same knowledege to someone who is not in this forum

Actually I was not talking about doing any specific finance course with CS.
It would be enough if you could handle finance function of a company along with your CS related work. Basic understanding of taxation, TDS, Tally would be an added advantage. In short you should be able to handle finance related work as and when assigned.
However if you go for any short term finance course / Small training that will be great.
