DOEACC Students/Alumni - Beware of rumours

I would like to warn you guys about some unscrupulous persons in various forum who are spreading rumours that there are some companies that are not taking DOEACC B-Level qualifiers for jobs. It is blatant lie and deliberate misinformation. One of the companies, Cognizant Technologies [within top 10 Software Companies] against whom there were complains has confirmed that they have no problems with B-Level. I was present in the walkin and there were no problems with DOEACC B-Level qualifications. I would earnestly request all students and alumni to refrain from reading or commenting on such false posts in various forums.

This is more to do with personal failure at the interview process rather than any company policy.

Answers for HR Interview for DOEACC qualified candidates

Concern raised by a fellow Doeaccian: I have been humiliated so many times in big companies. one HR from NIIT said me that DOEACC B level is not at all recognized by the company. passing DOEACC B Level after 10 + 2 is just like having no graduation!!! I have been rejected by many other big organizations because they say DOEACC courses are correspondence. once a BIG company gave me the chance to appear for the interview then the Interviewer just insulted me by saying company has degraded their standard in picking up the candidates. what worst you can expect ? doesn't matter how tough the doeacc b level is, doesn't matter if it is recognized by the highest educational authorities in India...all matters is a regular graduation!


Answer: Since these are the familiar issues some fellow doeaccians might face, I have attempted to provide a solution to these issues. Let us break up the concern in parts:
 
(i) Why NIIT doesnot recognize DOEACC B-Level? Is there any written document/proof from NIIT? B-Level after 10+2 is Integrated MCA, equivalent to Post Graduate. Therefore not having graduation is not the problem. This is recognized by MHRD, IITs, ISI, IIMs, IIITs. Is NIITs judgement on academic qualifications better than the IITs, IIMs and ISI? Please ask the HR these questions and demand documentary evidence. Ask the HR to give you in writing that they donot accept these courses. Remember, an organization is legally bound to answer these questions.
 
(ii) DOEACC is not a correspondence course. It is either a full time course or it is for working professionals. Please demand (politely) documentary evidence when HR/Company representative says as such.
 
Please donot accept HRs words at face value and come back from interview. All relevant recognition documents have been uploaded in this site. Make use of them.
