Wait, what? Several orders of magnitude, like at least 3 orders of magnitude? So even though India has 4x the population of the United States, it's training at least a thousand times as many engineers? That's amazing!
It's also totally not true at all. Spend a few seconds on Google.
Note that I don't particularly disagree with the rest of your comment.
- screye 5y agoMy bad, I should have specified. An order of magnitude does not need to be decimal. Order of 2 is also sufficient. The US produces between 50-100K CS grads (depending on how you count majors). India produces about 1 million by the same metric. That's a 10-20x difference.
