indian system
College is serious work in the USA. There is a lot of structural freedom, but GPA is very important, and colleges have very high quality of education at the university level. They take pride in attracting the best students and teachers, and constantly strive to keep syllabus updates to real world requirements. Most college graduates are eminently employable, unlike their counterparts in India, exceptions like the IITs apart.
At the Masters and Ph.D. level, it takes a great deal of effort in the USA, but life is relatively easier in India. If someone holds a masters degree from a university in the USA, it really means that person knows something in that subject. In India, this is debatable. A lot of Ph.D.s coming out of India are also dubious. infact students do PhD to get a simple job. no actual research work happens
moreover,The budget for implementation of the RTE Act throughout the country is just half of the amount spent on the 2010 Commonwealth Games, so funds are scarcely the problem.
This kind of attitude is a grim reminder of times before Independence when foreign rulers and the upper class discouraged the idea that poor Indian children should be empowered with education.
In 1891, a proposal in the Imperial Legislative Assembly for free and compulsory education for all was opposed by the upper class and the ruling British. Maharaja Darbhanga went one step further and gathered 11,000 signatures from the influential creamy layer to oppose the move. The argument was: if everyone was to go to school, who would tend to their agricultural land?
It is clearly not lack of funds that is a hindrance in implementation of the RTE Act but lack of intent and political will.
- 2-5 years of rigorous training to get into IIT, just because salary after the course is exceptional. Life settled.
- Mediocre brains work 4 years not even knowing what they want to study at Engineering
- If you follow Commerce, Arts, Music or anything out-of-line one is considered a grave mistake.
- Doctor is another respected education stream.
- Admitting the hard-working not the deserving and interested.
- If one is not pursuing JEE, it's because he's dumb! (General Concept)
- You study so that you get a job, and sustainable income.
- Quality of education different in different institutions.
- Marks are important not knowledge. Cram and you will defeat the system bring it on its knee
- Academic excellence has given more importance then extra corricular activities.
- Reservation system plays big role in Indian education system
