This does not match my experience. I believe that graduating or not does not matter compared to whether you really care and like the field. You're gonna find lots of crap devs in both camps, and 100x devs in both, in fact some of the worst I know where all graduates who only went into CS or SE for the job prospects, but never gave two damns and suck hard at coding or problem solving. But I don't think that it's true what you say, maybe you simply haven't met the exceptional graduates because they went in companies different than yours.
