Question is if you can trust a three letter word in a resume to _any_ degree at all, or do we always need to devolve to going back to reading the entire thesis to get an opinion of whether the person did good work. Not to mention, at the low rungs of Indian phds you would not even know if the thesis was just plain plagarized work from somewhere else. That is actually super common, even in publications.
