Good one this Ro!
I had an unfortunate experience to interview candidates for ACTS Diploma in VLSI Design. Although there were few good candidates but rest (a lot, mostly from AP) with false resume and past Project-work details (they could not explain those too!)
One example of a girl mentioning herself worked as Assistant Lecturer and had done Floating Point Processor on FPGA; but she hardly could do minor Digital Logic. Moreover she in no way looked or behaved like an experienced lecturer!
Such is the condition in India (esp. AP/UP), and it won't be shocking if they did the same thing abroad!
Whaddya say?
