That sounds strange because if someone has a degree in Computer Science, it is expected that they would know coding. They should know at least the basics of coding, if not much and at least one language in depth, if not multiple languages. If someone with a Computer Science degree says they don't know coding, either they have cheated all the way through their exams, which seems highly unlikely because there are so many subjects and so many problem statements that you need to solve, or else their degree is fake!
In my 4-year BTech course, we probably had somewhere around 70–80 subjects, out of which at least 20–25 dealt just with coding. We learnt C, C++, Java, Python, R, and among scripting languages, we learnt HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We learn basic concepts and then gradually move into Searching and Sorting, Dynamic Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms and later on, advanced topics like Machine Language, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Even though there was theory in all these subjects, they had a lot of coding that needed to be done. I cannot believe that someone says they passed all these subjects without knowing how to code.
It may happen that the person graduated a long time ago and has remained out of touch. They might not be in a technical role or in a role that doesn't require coding. That may be a case, but a fresher saying they cannot code must mean either they have just joined the course, or else their degree is fake. It cannot be any other way.
