@heyheni Hong Kong, I am doing IGCSE courses currently

@F1973 i've read so many horror stories about indian education. And the most common is that the java programming books are from the 90ties.

@F1973
Oh the stories.

~8 years ago, some of the Infys we got were straight out of "uni." Two of them in particular didn't know basic computer operation. Like, they couldn't even turn it on. Apparently their entire curriculum in CS, which covered no DSA, claimed to be entirely on paper (the Infy architect's explanation). According to him, they got a degree for effectively transcribing code from photo copied pages.

Mind you, I don't assume that's actually common practice or true (I try to have a little faith in humanity); I figured they were just degree mill fucks, but had no way to prove that. More likely the too-big-to-hold accountable bodyshop would commit any ethical faux pas to send a larger bill. 🚬

@F1973
IIT I could at least understand. If you have money, the bar gets lower.

But yeah, faith in humanity. 😋 Just waiting for the government there to realize all the have to do to render any all degrees official is make the websites Hindi only. HR depts here won't even try, they'll just rubber stamp it. Sure modi will get around to it after he's done with Id cards and government documents.

Dunno why, but, mine is cringe as well.

Finding someone decent to teach computer science at a decent level is tricky and expensive.

The other two, not so much.

@AkshayTolwani how do indians accept that? Don't you get angry at those schools? Are there cases where the authories close those scaming schools? How do you cope with the fact that you pay money and know that by the time you finish it you're still unable to get and do a good job?

@F1973 the doctor operating you tomorrow might be selling your kidney too 😆😢
