One could say the same nonsense about any degree anywhere in the world. All engg books and concepts are available online and at Nayi Sadak new delhi, all medical concepts are given out there, pharma books are available, physics, chemistry, accounting, CA etc..why does anyone need to go to a college/university at all and slog for years to gain a degree. Please wake up and get out of the rock you are under.
