> Once a culture builds up, the managers at consultancy will feel ashamed to cut loose on ethics even under pressure.

As if the engineering grads make these decisions and not managerial types with MBA degrees and "connections".

Indian engineering colleges already have 2-3 such courses in curriculum and don't need to fit yet another subject which nobody cares about, instead of teaching actual skills.

The actual knowledge of average Indian Engineering grad is very low, except in leetcode.

This is the root of the problem.

It's delusional to think humanities / ethics courses fix these problems.

It's managers who usually make these decisions, not engineers.

Doesn't the ruling elite of most countries study humanities courses? Does that prevent them from commuting much worse attrocites than this?

To be clear, I see more "gaming the system" behavior in India, but it's purely a result of more cut-throat competition in the market. "Ethics" and "morality" courses have shit to do with it.
