That is true to some extent, but I when discussed the High Number of Indian Science and Engineering Grads with someone who completed his PhD at UVic, but choose to return to India to work as a leader in Telecommunications, he told me that nine out of ten Indian Electrical Engineers can't actually do the job they were supposedly trained to do. 

The context was me mentioning that back in the 1960s I read that India had more people with Science and Engineering degrees than either the USA or the USSR.

People having stand ins sit exams for them is a problem in Indian post secondary institutions. Reporters investigating the widespread problem have been murdered.
