The whole Indian Education system reeks with strong attitude towards just getting grades & marks, discourages any innovative / critical thinking and to be honest, it is completely hopeless. The higher you climb, the more messed up it is. If any qualified person would be there to make the examination papers and to check them, in most of the engineering colleges here, I doubt even 20% would make it till the end. The questions are repetitive, quite general and purposely unspecific. People buy reports, seminars, projects because they find it impossible to make it on their own. Cheating with so common and ingrained that it is something to boast about and not frowned upon by anyone, in fact, an average student believes that he has a moral right to cheat. Even the IITs which produce the smartest bunch are able to attract the smartest because of their 'brand' and not because of any intrinsic value they provide. The same story of typical Indian college applies to them. The good news is, no of startups that are actually interested in someone's talent have grown in past few years. Someone like me, who found their 'path' through Internet, is lucky to be part of one of them. :)
