I am surprised at some of the remarks made about faculties. The guys at NIIT actually start off doing their C and C++ on a Unix or a Linux server.Well that is the main reason they keep such servers.Some of the others also keep Unix servers but restrict it to shell programming.All spoon-feeding , and may if I may be critical , some of the students never learn to reason.
As for the generalisation , stereotyping is always bad , and if I may say so, in bad taste.Jews were considered parasites in Europe , and yet , if it were not for them Europe would still have been in the Dark Ages. Yes , I can vouch that some faculties masquerading (and that reminds me of data packets) as "Experts" in C , who are only bothered what i++*i++*++i gives and , not why compilers sometimes make absurd assumptions.For they either refuse to think or not being blasted by their managements (for the right reasons please, like his worsening "Reasoning -skills"). Well , that is generally because : 1) I think Indians as such do not tolerate 'mavericks' , if you can agree with TIME magazine. Bill Gates would have always remained un-employed in India - he does not have a MCA , not B.Tech , no Ph.D ! 2) They fish for experience not for "Logic" - the base of the IT industry ! 3)People operate on suspicion , not on reason . While I make my views , I am not excluding myself from the classifications I make. Let us make reasoned criticism , not cynical criticism.
