What is SAP basis? What is the scope for freshers?

The difference is that for becoming a functional consultant, you need some functional knowledge too.

Scope for freshers -

Well in most companies, they prefer hiring freshers for Basis, BW & ABAP (from my experience)! Perhaps because these are technical modules and not functional. The difference is that for becoming a functional consultant, you need some functional knowledge too. Say if you want to become an SAP FI Consultant, you have to have knowledge in Finance & Accounts too! That is not the case with Basis!

As a fresher, all you are expected to have is flexibility to work (you may have to work night shifts to support), openness to learn (trust me, SAP Basis is never ending & you can keep learning on and on and on) and willingness to work under pressure (in case of critical business hours & if you get to work on-site, needless to mention, you will be under humongous pressure because if an SAP Production system screws up, it means MONEY, loss of business & money to your client! Period. And the first guy to get screwed is the BASIS ADMINISTRATOR)!

So if you have these qualities, as a fresher, the scope is so very good if you start off your career in SAP Basis! :)
