Yuhh you started a very long dialog about candidates who just graduated from university but don't know what to do anything...
On my previous work I faced with last year students some of them were good enough to be accepted in company. But some of them not. They had practice in our company for summer period.
Honestly even if to talk about me I could to apply to my first job after 4 or 3d year in university. But I was motivated for it by myself and it was interesting for me. And yes colleagues could taught me things which I didn't know at that moment. With some of them I have friendship even now after many years...
On the other side if person isn't interested and just "want to have a job" It's better to find candidate who really wants to work on this position and motivated.
Also at my current work for some high graduated positions assumed a mentoring for newcomers. But again nobody wants to lead someone by hand and do his work if newcomers not interested in it.

No one is expecting them to do a job that requires years of experience, but when you don't know the basics, that are the foundation of everything, then you better don't apply for the job. The problem with people like I mentioned in my post is, they expect to be spoon fed, to be told exactly what to do. I had my role, my responsibility and babysitting and idiot was not among them.
There were others that excelled in what they had to do, but this was literally useless. Apart from showing off with fake results, he knew nothing.
