I'm not saying there aren't any graduates in there, but there was something on Radio 2 about this a year or two back, where they looked in to whether it was true that they're all (or mostly) university-educated. Someone said they envisaged teachers asking schoolchildren in India what they wanted to be when they grew up and offered such professions as doctors, solicitors, policemen etc with one child saying "No, I want to work in...a callcentre!" to gasps of astonishment from jealous classmates...

It turned out that from the top 5 callcentre agencies in Mumbai, something like less than 20% completed university education with many of those considering their job to be a 'stepping stone' role to their chosen vocation.
