I am majoring in CSE in India and I think you guys have it still better. India's engineering education (maybe except IITs) is completely screwed up by people who don't know what they are doing. The average student here doesn't come out of interest but for sake of getting some job. There are lot of people who don't understand difference between text editor and word processor till end of the 4 year program, but still get an 'S' grade (>90% score) because of rote learning system. Leave alone mastering the tools, they expect to open a PDF/docx in their phones and copy it to the computer. Having said that, the college I study is one of "top" colleges of the state.
They foolishly waste 1 year in our life by teaching "common" subjects like chemistry, physics, elements of {electronics,mechanical,civil} engineering etc.. I mean, they may be somewhat marginally useful, but they waste time and money for that while there's lot of stuff to learn in CS itself; just because some baldhead decided it would be good to teach all subjects to engineering students in first year.

I really wish I could study in US.
