I have my doubts about the quality of computer education imparted by the likes of NIIT. Years ago, one of my non technical friends wanted to join a C/C++ course at one of their centers. Their claim was they'd teach him both in 6 months, part time. I tagged along with him on the first day and was generally trolling around, asking their faculty if they teach Assembly language. As expected, not one of them had heard of it. One of the more ludicrous responses was something like "What's assembly, is it something like pseudo-code ?".
