If we can rename the standard object in salesforce then what is the need of custom object?

Hi Pooja,

You are right we can rename standard object but we still need custom object.Because when we are applying master-detail relationship to the recruiting app in which if we put standard objects on student side and custom objects on recruiter side then any changes done by student cannot be redone by recruiter,so we have to made custom object on recruiter side too.

May this help,if possible please suggest some better answer!
