Same as you, when I told my professors about me attending Pycon India Conference(this happened a week before); they were clueless. I had to explain everyone one of them what is python. And when they got to know that I won't be getting any certification from this conference, they even suggested me to leave it and do some course in Java or .Net from local training institute.
- manish_gill 14y agoSadly, I can relate. I'm in my final year in a (not so great) College in Delhi, and all everyone talks about is Infosys/TCS. Summer internships were a joke. I'm pretty sure that me and a friend were the only ones who tried to get a genuine internship (and were interviews). For the rest of the class, it was Java/.NET certification courses galore. I've been lucky that I found a startup with a bunch of really smart guys who knew I wanted to learn more than anything else and understood the situation I was stuck in. Needless to say, these past 4 months have been the best ever since I started getting into programming. :)

- ido 14y agoAre internships in India generally unpayed?
