Austalian education fair

Australia is increasingly being looked into as a potential destination for higher education. The country is becoming a hit with Indian students mianly because of the

(1) Less complexity in getting a Visa.

(2) Comparitively less expensive costs.

(3) You don't have to take the GRE. IELTS would do.

IDP Australia - an education services company is offering its services to help students in identifying suitable courses and the appropriate universities. And the best part it is you get their services for free and most of the universities waive their application fees, if you are applying through IDP. All you have to do is take up the IELTS exam.

IDP is organising an Australia education fair at Chennai on March 2. People interested are requested to register for the fair by clicking here.

Embedded systems taking over!!

The world market for Embedded Software will grow from about $1.6 billion in 2004 to $3.5 billion by 2009, at an Average Annual Growth Rate of 16%. Embedded Hardware growth will be at the aggregate rate of 14.2% to reach $78.7 billion in 2009. While India is an acknowledged player in the software services space, the image of the country has been so far confined as a low-cost service provider. High quality Development work here is rarer. Embedded Software Development, which requires specialized skill sets, can make the difference.
