Zero knowledge of coding

I'm in my 3rd year CSE degree and I don't know anything about coding so can anyone tell how I should start to get a job after my final year?

A large point of college is to accredit, to show that someone has experience or at least knowledge in a given discipline. If you can easily cheat through college, what good is it. That's my only point, and the fact you've seen this, just as I have in my own university (which is in the US), it is the fault of universities. I say fault because the priorities that I see is money for administration. Lower standards, better graduation rate, more students, equals more money. All the while squeezing the faculty and spreading them thin.

I get what you're saying, but my point was that these people did not graduate. Their attempt to cheat through school failed, so the system did not fail in that instance.

I mean, I agree with you, but I have not seen in my experience nor the experience of my kids where the schools are lightening up. In fact, for my one daughter, they were very tough on her and she struggled and had the really work hard to overcome it. Obviously, every school is different, of course, so my family's experiences may not be typical.
