We often hear exasperated remarks on the poor saleability of our average geology graduates from very senior academics and prospective employers. Not so long ago, one of my distinguished friends from PRL lamented, even a CSIR Shyama Prasad Mukherjee fellow in earth science was not extraordinary enough for a junior research position in his department, not to speak of average NET/GATE qualified candidates.
