passed out

In Indian English: graduated from a university or training institution. "I passed out of IIT in 2018" means the speaker received their degree, not that they fainted in the building. The construction comes from the older British military and academy sense of "passing out" (completing the course of training and being commissioned), preserved in South Asian English long after it faded in modern British and American English. A constant source of confusion in international hiring conversations — British and American readers hear "lost consciousness" — and a classic example of Indian English keeping an older Commonwealth usage alive.
