"But I believe our undergrad (read B.S) is just fine." - That is not true.
- adamnemecek 14y agoCould you elaborate on that (I know nothing about the Indian education)? I was under the impression that the IITs were good. Would you disagree with that? Or is it that there is a couple of schools which are good but the rest is so-so.
- eshvk 14y agoThe IITs take a bunch of smart people in. These are people who have the necessary drive, intelligence to succeed in any environment. That doesn't necessarily mean the institute itself is good or something. As far as the rest of education system, my experience was that rote memorizing was encouraged and people were not necessarily taught how to think or even encouraged how to think. I dunno, maybe it is a cultural thing but I didn't like it.
