The things taught in colleges as a part of course are mostly bullshit. If you want to judge a person potential as a coder you should rather ignore his CGP (Cumulative Grade Point) and look for the projects he had done. If he had done some Open-source project, you can always look his code and can judge him. If he's into topcoder ( www.topcoder.com/tc ), then too you can look his code submitted during programming contests and can judge his coding style. What matters is you want a developer and not a crammer .. right ? Don't judge coders on the basis of their performance in class or college degree because most of the good ones don't have time to sleep in the class, they would rather prefer working in lab.
