Programming education in India faces an uphill task of educating two-plus million students who enroll in degree programs with coding as a core skill.10 Fulfilling this demand presents unique challenges due to inadequate infrastructure and the unavailability of technical content in regional languages6 with unfortunate outcomes: more than 90% of Indian graduates have coding skills inadequate for IT roles, and more than 37% struggle to write code that even compiles.13 Studies indicate a steep decline in coding skills between graduates from top-100 colleges and the rest.12 While concerning, since only a tiny minority of students enroll in top-tier colleges, this is not entirely surprising. A recent study indicates that even experienced instructors at non-top-tier colleges in India struggle to write code.10
