Faking degrees or experience is never a good policy. But in as Pranav mentioned,there is an entirely different side for the story. In India None of the big companies consider inexperienced and efficient candidates if they are from a less known institution and/or with out a high percentage of marks. Infact majority of the guys who boasts about high percentages and reputed collages are from the creamy layer of the society. So there are these aspiring candiates who comes from less known collages in rural areas or who doesn't enjoy a sound socio-economic status and with out any godfathers :). For them faking or massaging resume seems like the only option to get a good job in a reputed company . Again once you are in a job what matters is the output, All the companies need good performers only. Once again, getting a high percentage by simply assimilating bookish knowledge is entirely different from facing challenges in real life.
