That's true of new grads in general.
When you complete a course there's an exam, and labs and assignments typically have a set of instructions to get started and a list of requirements.
And there is always a domain expert (TA) not far. Now they are learning to become the domain expert in their own (limited) area.
- primitivesuave 6y agoYou're right if you're thinking about American universities, but IIT operates much differently (this may have changed, so IIT students, please correct me if I'm wrong here). No student enters IIT declaring a CS major like an American university - they have to first excel at test-taking within IIT across a range of subjects (chemistry, physics, etc), so they can be part of the top cohort within IIT that is allowed to enroll in CS classes. Based on a couple Youtube video lectures I watched, these courses tend to be lecture-based and tested based on printing the correct output (not on software architecture or code quality). Some of our younger IIT developers say the system is modernizing to be more like other higher education programs, so I might be totally wrong here.

- primitivesuave 6y agoThanks for clarifying, glad to be wrong about this one. Would you happen to know if this was true at some point?
- sudhackar 6y agoAFAIR to choose your major you'd to fill a list of preferences - priority of majors in different IITs. These are then awarded based on merit - rank in the JEE(Joint Entrance Exam). So if you want a specific major at a specific IIT you'll have to get higher ranks in the JEE.
