Education Scams Are Everywhere

From what I've heard, India is one of the countries where the paper is often way, way more important than actual skill. (Germany can be similar, though they're a bit more discerning as to where the degree came from and the actual skills of the candidate.) So, no, it probably didn't seem unusual to them. Get paper, get job, that's how it works in a lot of fields.

I'm kind of surprised that the civil engineering student hasn't gone into phone support or whatever. Maybe his spoken English isn't good enough? I guess there could be none available nearby. Working in a call center pays well enough that it's not uncommon for doctors to leave the medical profession and start working in one.
