I wouldn't go and make blanket statement as saying 'Indian degrees are useless'. But in most cases, its not just Indian colleges and universities. A course only prepares you for an exam or at most clearing a interview.
No body teaches you to build things. This is something you need to learn. And you need to learn it by actually building things. It can't be learned by attending lectures, doing assignments, small time projects, passing exams or clearing interviews. You actually need to go out, talk to people find the problems they face and provide a solution to it. It needs to have definite end goal, a tough timeline. And then when you go out and spend 17 hrs/day going round in circles or failures-success, triumph, enthusiasm, joy, sadness, arguments, debates, consensus. That is when you learn to build things.
When you learn to build things you realize, books, degrees, colleges don't matter. In fact there is an opinion that most people college was useless, they could have rather been spending all those years building something.
As an Indian, I started my official career working at a call center. Before that I have done a lot of small time jobs. Its a journey. In India you need to first work hard to create a opportunity then you need work hard on the opportunity. At every stage, and even money was never enough. I am not close to earning big money- But I've gone from attending reporting office at 1 AM in the morning to staying up till 1 AM solving problems with software.
If you are not finding a job, get into what ever you can. Then start up on the side. Learn to code, to build. Then make incremental progress towards that grand goal.
