My heuristic for choosing Inidan programmers (I am an Indian) 1) Choose from top colleges. Apart from the well know ones, each state in India has a something called NITs. Apart from this, each state has one "top" college. Then, each major metro has 3-4 colleges which produce good programmers. I generally stick to these coleges. It comes to about 50-60 colleges, so not a bad number

2) Look at good 10th class marks...I find that it is a good indicator compared to engineering marks.

3) Look at quality of english in terms of grammar. Almost all of us were educated in English medium. If they didn't pick up good grammar for whatever reason, you know they are bad.

Again, this is a heuristic
