Having done some hiring for a couple of startups, I'll say that some 
education is better than none when comparing entry-level people. An NRI 
certificate would probably be considered equivalent to someone without a 
degree but with some college at most of the places where I worked, at 
least so far as their programming skills are concerned. Much more 
important would be the ability to demonstrate knowledge of the languages 
they're to be working in -- we've always come up with some sort of test 
to see if they truly did know what they said they did.
