Are the salaries offered to fresh graduates justified?

  The experienced graduates don't actually have to worry about the salary. The world is open for them. They can easily switch between companies and once you've like 5 years experience, the companies will try hard to keep you with them because you'll be an asset to them.
  
  As for fresher, they are actually expensive for free (fukat me mehenge). So even if you're offered 2K/month, you should take it. Those who're like "I am engineer, how can I work for 10K", I would say, we're just a pile of junk. Come out of the books, the practical world is totally different from the book. You secured 80% in engineer doesn't ensure that you'll be a successful engineer on field. When you're recruited, you must be thankful to the recruiter because after 1-2 years, they will make you actually something worthy by teaching you field work. Understand the scenario, they are paying you to teach you something. They must actually charge a fee but instead they are paying you. So even if they give you Rs.500, its way much more than what you actually deserve.

  well hi 2 all!!!! I am new to this site.... I want to share my views regarding this topic. When we join the engineering field we invest a huge amount of money on the respective institutions where we study.. So after 4 years of hard work if a company will offer us only 1k or 2k/month is this fair???? Is it fair to work for only 1k or 2k/month after doing hard work for 4 years.... what will be the confidence level of that fresher???? when a fresher gets the opportunity to work for 20 - 30k/month his confidence level also rises simultaneously his interest on the respective job will rise... he can show his good performance too

  If you'll take it as a job, well then you would be surely upset. However, if you see, its actually not a job. You're continuing to learn, perhaps what you even didn't learn in the 4 years of engineering. The first few years of job should be treated as a college itself if you really want to become something. You might be jealous of looking your friends fetching 5LPA, 7LPA even 12LPA's, but do you know how many they work in there? I bet, most of such people are kicked (or they themselves leave) within few months because they are just not capable of fulfilling the expectations or take pressure. Private companies want work. They will not entertain your excuses.

  ya i agree with u.... 😀 fresher must keep this point in mind for sure that the learning process continues for a real engineer..... moreover, to survive in any company and in this competitive world we must keep updating ourselves with the latest technology...😉

  Exactly! And that's why I said that even its 2K, its profit to you. You're learning from them and they are paying you to learn. What else do you want? 😀

  Let me divert something from what is discussed here. Just think, a fresher and 2 years experience candidate is a same company works for same salary, Where is the mistake? Whether in company or candidate side?

  Currently I am in such a situation 😔. It is been a year for me here, and few freshers have joined a week ago and they earn more than me!!! The salary for freshers was hiked, but the same did not reflect for the existing employees!!!!!!! We are still getting what we were promised when we joined, but this seems to be unfair. At least I will have to wait till the next appraisal period for my hike. But seriously I really feel bad about it!😕

  well i think it depends upon the candidate's potential. If a fresher is more efficient in his work in compare to 2 years experience candidate, then there is nothing wrong for a company to give him same salary as that of 2 years experienced one. Fetching the opportunities from the company depends upon the candidate itself.

  I think you are missing a point here. All fresher's in a company are offered the same salary at the beginning. You cannot judge a Fresher's efficiency when he joins. As a Company you can just hope that he comes up and serves well. You thought is untrue in case of freshers, whereas it is justified and true in case of experienced candidates.
  
  Think that a company requires a fresher. If they think that a fresher would be more efficient than the a(particularly one) existing employee, then they would sack the existing one, and hire two fresher's right??? If the company would have measured the efficiency during hiring, then how did they hire the existing under performing employee???
