Worry on our fresh graduate competencies

I'd rather worry on our current IT major fresh graduate competencies. 
When I've had a recruitment road show, I found many fresh graduates from various famous universities in Surabaya, Bandung, and Jakarta. They are coming from Informatics, Computer Technique, Electro, Physics, Math and Agriculture majors. I am glad to see that our IT career made them interesting from various major backgrounds.
On the Technical Test result, surprisingly that most of candidates have failed. They even can't answer the basic questions. Just a few potential candidates we have process to our next recruitment process.But the point is that I and my manager have disappointed on the most have GPA > 3.0 candidates from some good universities /institutes, with an A or B grade on OOP subject and didn’t know anything on How to Use OOP. Even in a very simple analogy. But, if they learn on a very theoretical OOP, I believe they should clearly think and got ideas of inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism. Because we had given too much help and guidance while they have answering, and we are closed to frustrate.

I wonder how they’ve got A J
