Dear Sowmya,
It is not compulsory to have a dress code in IT & ITES organizations. The reason for this is nothing but the dress expresses an professional look. That is why in companies they follow a dress code to give an ethical outlook.

On a slightly different note..i was introspecting on this very issue of late. The way one dresses also expresses the way one feels or put in reverse one feels the way he/she dresses..
In IT/ITES there are a myriad type of job roles. However, in those businesses where knowledge work is of prime importance (your brain needs to roll) , it is important to have our employees feel at ease at work. A dress code may probably put them at discomfort. People feel important when they dress in a particular sense ... some feel so with formals, some with semis and others with perhaps cool beach wear :) .The point is, with a miniscule exception of say when there are meetings with higher ups, conferences etc. employees should be free to dress the way that makes them comfy. In the exceptional occassions having a formal dress would result in ethical and professional outlook. Physical comfort culminates into mental ease to work...thats what counts.
However every company, depending on the kind of work they do and of course, the senior management team would decide on whats best for them. Hence some do implement a dress code policy etc.
