Jorg,
I know how you feel. In fact I often see a bigger farce at many recruitment drives here in India (or maybe only in some states), especially for jobs at Government insitutions. It is common knowledge that you cannot get such a post unless you have a "contact" on the inside.

---------------------------------
Now,let's not generalize kundi.i work at BARC
a governement organization.believe me i had
to obtain some 96 percentile in GATE,pass a written exam ahead of some 1500 odd guys and face a really grilling interview on electronic fundamentals for 45 minutes before being admitted to training.
as for inside contacts no system is immune from it.every now and then guys get called
for interviews based on reference.
so i request you again not to generalize this.you are trivializing efforts of people who have workrd hard to get jobs because of
somebody who has not an and still got the job
