I'm appearing CAT this year. Have a B.Tech degree in Civil Engineering, pass out of this year.


Does work prior work experience in IT matters when taking IT as specialization and focusing on better placement ?


I don't have a corporate work experience in IT but I had been a webmaster for the last one year. I had been a web designer too having done local projects.


So do you get better placement when you have a corporate work experience in IT if looking to specialize in IT ?
