I think this is a common experience from many different schools.
I used to think this was only state funded schools, but
I have recently gotten evidence that it is not limited
to them,but is even more wide spread.
And the consequence of hiring someone with this lack of quality
is very painful....
However, the density of people who have things working right is
higher in the graduated student pile than in the not graduated pile
by a big factor.

Yes, Absolutely. The HP technical interview is very valuable
in this way. Inspect what you expect.
It is not enough, but it is better than not doing it.
