In the past 15 years or so, there is an explosion of engineering schools and the number of graduates.
I've been part of the crowd that lamented the decrease in the quality of Indian engineering graduates.
When you look at it in a different way. Would you rather have more engineers than less?
I would go for more.
As an individual, having an engineering degree is better than having a degree in arts.
An engineering degree provides these guys with better employment options even if our notion of quality is shattered.
India is coming of age and the days when 'I studied roman history because I am passionate about it' are not far off.
As of now, livelihood trumps passion.

And because of this sort of things its that Indian IT isn't able to take any thing more than IMS projects today. The managers haven't the slightest clue how to run projects, and engineers haven't the slightest clue how code, design and build. No point in having paper degrees if people can't work! Money comes from work not from degrees! And its not about passion, its about doing one's job properly. And that can be done even without the burning passion. If my job is that of a coder, I should be able to do my job properly even if I don't have the passion to write the next big OS kernel. And the employment opportunities, how can we sustain getting business when we can't deliver on the current ones?
