The level of primary, secondary and higher education in the country is appalling. This has been brought out in many reports of national and international consultants. What is so shocking in this, if the level of IT Engineers in the country is as low as that of its non-IT Engineers? Various agencies have also pointed out towards the falling standards despite the present low levels. The Government simply refuses to take notice, as it is bridled with bigger problems like how to get Muslims vote for Congress!

Also determining the age of the Army chief and reserving seats for Muslims / OBCs.

And you think offshore software business needs only freshers? .. You wrote it right ... height of stupidity! Freshers are just a part of the team ... but offshore team needs a mix of experienced and fresher people ... and most of the times the people with experience and freshers ratio is something like 70:30 to 90:10...
Really a shocking affair, Time is ripe that govt. upgrades its recruitment system at lower level say class III or II cadre - to make sure that appointee is well versed with IT basics.
After all all what the IT companies want is people who can copy and paste the code.. nearly 50% of employees or more are employed for milking a client rather than doing programming..this is a fact that everyone has to digest!
Delivery comes first and then the documentation..all Six sigma and ISO and CMM Levels are all big BS!!
There is not enough counselling for candidates who aspire to be future engineers. everybody gets sucked into the rat race of scores with no vision, very common in indian academics.
The engineering curricullum is outdated.
It does not evolve with the changing market trends.
Absolute lack of importance for practical knowledge. Most of the candidates only cram up from the past years question papers and pass with distinction. This just proves that they are good in memorizing and throwing up in examinations.
The teaching staff is just incapable in most of the colleges.
The 4 or 5 years of engineering leading to graduation is more of a nightmare and a frustrating game of settling grudges between teaching staff and students rather than a learning experience.
Just as in academic life the future professionals graduating from these colleges always look for heroic deeds and miracles as there is a sheer lack of exposure to actual industrial knowledge.
