These type of competitions( just like Olympiads in different subjects) are unknown for most universities and colleges; this, only a few can participate. In all cases professors do the work in the name of the students or pay a lot of money to some commerical firms. Thus, these do not mean anything. DRDO after spending Rs.7500 Crores could not manufacture even a light aircraft.

You are absolutely right. Most of the government staff particularly in administrative sections are most inefficient and highly corrupt. Leading organisations have a word in the world only because of technical people who, most are from forward class. Most of the Administrative staff are from SC and some from ST and BC. You will be surprised to know a Sr. Purchase Officer's qualification in one of leading defence establishment is just SSLC and Manager, Higher Secondary. He is provided a Car and Bungalow and free medical and engineering seats to his wards. Most of the existing staff in all government undertaking departments and government departments are under qualified and most inefficient but highly corrupt. Till the existing staff are exhausted, expecting productivity is futile.

In a private organization it is much worse. Qualification means nothing unless you know someone or related to someone.Maximum qualification you need is BSc.
