Grade inflation is a many decades-old, settled topic. It's mostly a stochastic process of opportunity rather than a grand conspiracy. Hell, Stanford expressly forbids exam proctors in its university's charter. But what dull woodshed implement believes certain political figures or 50%+ of legacy admissions did their own homework or took their own tests? Hell, one of my ex gf's sold homework to legacy rubes because she was an ultra-proficient and diligent with discretion and flexible, creative ethics.
If a prospective student wanted a masochistic, meritocratic challenge (in undergrad), they should consider IIT[0] (and JEE) or a lesser-known US public research university in the top 50-100 range striving to increase its ranking without hiking tuition by focusing on fundamentals. They're ambivalent if any particular student passes or fails, and have less motivation to pad grading. As a first project for an intro network course in 2001, we had to write a forking, forward caching HTTP/1.0 proxy in *nix/POSIX C89.
