It does seem to be awfully common in Indian schools to teach C++ from before 1998 (i.e. before formalising of the first standard), considered simply wrong today, using tools made 25 years ago (Turbo C++ for DOS is popular). Those taught this end up hitting the workplace knowing incorrect C++ and knowing how to use a 25 year old tool for DOS. I've no doubt they can learn modern C++ and modern tools, but it certainly creates a bad image.
