Einstein is DEAD!! so who the Feck cares what he said about Indians more than his greatest contribution!!

That was a joke to mean that referencing is good to validate what you say.

Mind you my idiotic or should I call you stupid sir that this is not US..

Guess I was not clear again. I was elaborating on the options available for grads from India; nothing to do with Finland as such. The point is, its not right to say that Indian universities are not recoginesed outside India.

and how would you expect the Govenrments and Companies to believe in this ??

If you are referring to transparency international, its a good point. There is certainly bias but I guess there aren't many globaly recogined indices available to measure corruption, Or are they? They play a major role in UN corruption prevention; so my belief is that companies and governments can trust the figures. To start with, you can read a bit more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_International

Could you please post the reference (Economist) sir? I am a bit surprised by this remark and wish to know a bit more on this... 'cos Einstein said Indian were the best!

Einstein died in 1955 way before most of us here were born - and was a physicist. What relevance does this have to the capability of ‘professional’ engineering in India?

The article I read was in the print version of the New Economist in the second quarter of last year. In the US and Australia at least, no Indian mechanical/civil engineering degree is recognised by any professional association. They want bridges etc to stay up there I guess.

If the Italian/German/European/US companies have only the cost factor in mind blowing all other reasons or facts away, its a sure short case for a sourcing failure.

I could not agree more ! India = cheap = low skills/quality = failure.

On corruption levels, India has made rapid progress in the past few years. You can check for yourself where each country stands in 2007:

Thanks for posting the link to this interesting table.

Finland transparency ranking = 1

India transparency ranking - SEVENTY TWO

I rest my case. Good for Finland !
