Today I asked ChatGPT about the latest status...
and to my surprise, I got the above answer...
Here is the full text...
I am a software professional having long years of experience. Now i train and coach others in different software technologies. Many of my students are from CBSE 10+2 and they use Turbo C++ at school. When i asked them why their school is still using it, they said probably CBSE board has asked the schools to do so. This is really a dangerous trend - training students with obsolete technologies. Turbo C++ is really prehistoric and it does not have the standard header files of modern C++ as well (like std :: string). I am not sure why CBSE has not banned Turbo C++ in school. While at my training institute, i use Eclipse with CDT plugin alongside Cygwin & GCC compiler and i install the same on my students’ computers, but this should be a normal way of dealing with software rather than an exception.
Not only this, few days back i was having a conversation with one of my friends who is a Professor of CS in a college. He said that most of the colleges in India use Oracle 10g for RDBMS programming. So he suggested that for this either the college authority has to pay an hefty price or use a pirated copy. So why not move to MySQL. But to his shock, he got the answer that when the students will go to other college for external LAB work in the exam, they will most probably get Oracle 10 g and they may not be able to work on it if they are exposed to MySQL in their own college. This is really pathetic.
I have another nightmare to share with you as a technical teacher. Very recently UGC will be coming out with a new Syllabus for college level CS. There they have included Android as one elective subject. Now when i saw the syllabus of that Android course, i was shocked. The colleges have been asked to teach Android using Eclipse with ADT plugin. Now you know, this is passe and most of the Android developers today use Android studio.
No wonder the Indian graduates mostly have half-baked knowledge and remain unemployable for a long time till they learn by rote learning about few historical facts and general knowledge and crack an equally boring Govt. job…
Babus in the Department of Education must be progressive.
It's time for a collective introspection - there is no shortcut to build skills - many night outs in front of a computer is the only answer. To clean up the swamp we must shake up the education system as practised in today's Bharat...
Is anybody listening?
Wake up, please - or else the news like the Rs. 20000 salary per month for a fresh engineering graduate which is even less than that of a driver or a house maid, will dominate the Indian corporate sectors.

Yes, very true.
