#2As the author mentioned- the main problem is spoon feeding. This should be checked in early childhood and school education.
Moreover a professor won't waste his time if students are not ready for learning.

then why are professors taking full salaries. For sitting idle?? It is their duty to make interest of the students. If a student have chosen Computer course. This means at some level he likes it. Then a professor can make that student to think more about it and learn whys and whats of computers

#4thats whats is happening to me also. Though we don't have attendance problem, but un-interesting teaching from professors have led to me not paying attention to me college academics and drama. do it your own. and best of luck!!!

#5Been there, done that.
But if you're seriously considering dropping out, good luck with finding a job in the sort of competitive market you're in. With more than a thousand applications per job listing, the recruiters will first cut out the non-degreed/non-engineers. Then you're looking at a select few (like Zoho) who may take you in for a marked down pay which gets you no where.
Or you can try to make it on your own, put in several man hours of effort into an idea and push it to market. If you do manage to get a release out, know that your odds of success have improved from nothing to one in a hundred.
Or you could simply suck it up, maintain a minimal profile at college necessary to get your degree, and work the nights on getting a real education. Then you're in a (IMO) far better position, life-wise.
Stop cribbing about something you have little control over, and focus on doing what you can to improve things for yourself, and if you see fit, for others.

#6Well my friend, here are a few things you should know:
1. If you are interested in research, you should approach professors/find out what they are doing etc, even at the worst of schools, there is always someone doing something worthwhile.
2. As it looks like you are already following hacker news, keeping up to the posts on the front page itself should give you a lot of ideas and things to tinker around with.
3. Believe me, undergrad education is useless, everyone does it to get a degree. What really matters is the environment around. The people around you will help you learn more at school than the course itself does.
4. Ask yourself these simple questions, if the answer is a "no", try working towards making it a "yes" :
Do you have a GITHUB Account ?
Have you tried getting your hands dirty with any OSS project ? (not necessarily code, configuration ? testing ?)
Do you follow journals in your area of Interest ?
Which courses do you love at school ? Have you supplemented the course with some extra reading ?
These are just a few questions that can get you started, for example, the course for algorithms/data structures at most schools in india sucks big time, why not follow it up with a reading of AOCP or the MIT algorithms book. And yes as someone already mentioned, concentrating on work rather than cribbing about the system will take you better places. BTW, I did my undergrad from a so called "reputed private university" in India too.

I do and I've tried various methods to be more productive about my learning and projects. Still the college stuff really pisses me off.

thanks for the encouraging words. Yeah I've a github account that i setup just some time back. Also doing some code- work and helping some friends on a small side project. I'm pretty much good at python and C language. Now I'm reading others code on github and learning from them.
