Unfortunately in todays education it is like RAM - temporary - vanishes
when switched off i.e when exams are over.
I have yet to see a CS or IT graduate who knows the basics of anything. All
One of the reasons for this is that most of the universities in India
are Teaching Institutions rather than Research Institutions. By
steering the Indian academia towards a research focus, the students
would definitely grasp the basic and fundamentals better.
