Phew ! That comment thread was pretty hot with words




Thoda Masala from what I gathered
On a more serious note though, I don't think we are that bad. Sure, the system
definitely sucks but not we, as a demographic. Take this, for example, when I prepared for entrance exams I had to study every damn thing. The tests were objective so I actually had to think while answering. Fast forward to university, I had to slog all day, all semester, gather facts and figures just to unload it on my paper one day. Why play such games ? After all the effort that I went through just to
understand what I read, only to roll back to those same old archaic ways of school where I'm forced to cram

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not against subjective papers. They offer an insight otherwise difficult to gauge from an objective answer paper, but only if you teach that well
The point being that, you set such sky high limits for getting an engineering college but never work with what you've got. Such awesome students entering national universities only to leave as less than what they were worth at the time of admission. Now
this kills talent. The entry point is always higher than exit point.
The mark of a university is not in the students who join them but the students who leave
The regular tech grad just has to wade through this mess to get to where he wants to. Only that he has to make arrangements for himself. The school will never solve his problem. Just a few good profs here and there but that's it. The task of understanding the subject matter is almost always upon the student. Whatever happened to training ? So all this system doing no good. I understand perfection is theoretical, but isn't 90% implementation practical ?
Aryabhatta, Ramanujan, Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji Maharaj(Vedic Math)... all prove testimony to the fact that we are(neither were) no slouch when it comes to math and logic. The current system has turned epic win to epic failure.
Now, you can bash my views if you want to
