I have just appeared in third year finals in an engineering college, which happens to be in India. So, I know pretty much about the way things work in `Engineering institutes' in India. The thing is that, in about last 5 years, number of Institutes have grown so fast that one wouldn't even imagine. The year I took admission in my College(2010), there were about only two colleges in the district I live, where, now, there're 6 colleges now! Most of the politicians have realized that `there is so much money' in Engineering institutes! The don't give a shit about Education quality. Having really bad score in Entrance exam after 12th grade, I had no option but to take admission in one of such a college. So, what these `leaders' do, is hire freshers as professors (those who're unable to land a job as a programmer). They lack in knowledge/skills. Next reason is that, most (almost 99%) of the students who are pursuing degree have their only motive is to - secure their future by having a good job. They don't LEARN. They `remember' things to get a good score. That's their sole purpose. Because, they think having good score will give them a good job. People can't LEARN things by just reading several books, they have to USE things that they've read. Just to make sure if they are able to use what they've just read (or learned). Currently there're about 80 students in my class. We had to develop a dynamic website as a mini project in the last semester. Your people would not believe it, but 99% of the people had it downloaded from Internet (or taken from some former student). Worst thing is, they were only static pages. And even worse is, faculties didn't say a thing while demonstrating those projects!!! I assumed the only reason that could happen is the faculties themselves are utterly lacking in knowledge! In second year, I wrote a simple packet sniffer and port scanner in C (again, as a mini-project), the `external' professor didn't even see the code, he waster almost half an hour asking me things about Packer Sniffer (He had no idea about what that is!) The only reason I can think if this unemployment is the quality of Engineers..
