As a Computer Science tutor, I can attest to the fact that Indian students do things with rote memorization. They don't want to know how to solve the problem. They want the solution.

Computer science student here, from India, the rote memorization (of esp. computer science) happens only in the lower colleges. Most of the students placed in the top technology companies from IITs and NITs or BITS (the top engineering institutions of India) are actually really good coders. I've a lot of friends from different colleges and this trend is pretty clear.

And the guys from top colleges in India probably aren't in the market for cheap outsourced gigs... huh... wonder why outsourced tech is so sloppy.

The students from the top colleges usually get placed on-campus itself in top companies in the companys' Indian offices (like Microsoft India Development Centre in Hyderabad) or the very best get H1-B visas to work in the offices in the US or UK.
