SummaryQualitative HCI study interviewing 23 Indian engineering students and recent graduates about generative AI use in coursework, examinations, and AI-free campus placements. The paper reports five themes from reflexive thematic analysis, applies signaling theory to question what grades certify when AI can help produce them, and offers recommendations for employers, institutions, and tool designers.
Why it mattersUnderstudied Indian setting where 2.9 million engineering seats meet AI-free placement screens. Useful framing for anyone thinking about how credentials and signals hold up when preparation is AI-saturated.
