So I am confused here: Are you being asked in an application form to list your education? or Is this during an interview call/email?

If it is the former, I wouldn't think too much about it. People probably use standard forms for these purposes. If it is the latter, just tell him that you did school for some years and decided your time could be better spent outside school.

after the recruiter saw my resume, they asked about my education, I was just a bit surprised. I updated my resume to show that I dropped out, but also that I'm a continuous learner. Hopefully that works.

Thanks for your help.

It is a standard recruiter question. Don't worry too much about it. I am not sure there is a company wide policy to ask these questions or not.

P.S: For future reference, the best thing to do in this case it to mention as part of educational experience maybe the relevant courses you have taken and the amount of time spent at school. (If you need mention it at all).

Truly don't worry, if you are at the recruiter filter stage. If you really think it'll filter you out of the conversation for a position you are otherwise qualified for, attach a code sample (something substantial). Then, ask them to have the hiring manager review it, if the recruiter might think there might be some concerns over the lack of a degree.
