I literally puked when it ranked my previous college (A very bad public university in India) along with UT Austin & UW. UT Austin & Other good universities' students are more likely to spend their time on something productive and therefore not fall into the rut of competitive programming, while companies coming to my college make the students believe that competitive programming is how they'll evaluate them(I blame Amazon & Google). The list very much biased towards India, Russia & China. Due to the low course load as compared to US Universities, students there generally have a lot of time on their hands to spend on Hackerrank. Also exaggerated by the fact that handful of companies that hire from there look at this kind of scores only.
