Indian Education System – Education system in India, a system through which few of the world’s best brain have evolved. There is a problem with this system in the country, these best brains evolve in the country but they don’t get reorganization or nurturing in India. Satya Nadela, recently appointed as the CEO of Microsoft. Now think, is it a feather in the cap of the country or a slap to the Indian education system? Why is it that India’s tech and geniuses flower only in the USA and Silicon Valley? After Independence none of the actual Indians have won Nobel Prize. This system is killing our future heroes and USA is helping even ordinary Indians to rise to iconic level. Only one percent of the Indian aspirants can get admissions to IITs and IIMs, and out of these people only few flourish and people like Satya Nadela, a pass out of Manipal has become the CEO of this great company. The problem is that our system has been designed to keep people out and not get them in. IITs and IIMs have become the filter exercise. When only best among the best people can get admission to these institute they will shine no matter what. It is somewhat like our caste system, a system of exclusion. This system encourages talkers than doers, a reason why we celebrate rare achievers like E Shreedharan so highly and yet, the political class carping about them and calling them dictators. We are risk avoiders rather than risk takers, we know IITs and IIMs are way to success and when our children wants to become an artist or a cricketers we stop them from doing so and force them to study for IITs and CAT and never mind their passion. Our engineers have stopped being serious engineers and have opted coding, than they opt MBA and then become some manager of some firm, meanwhile our engineering companies starved for real engineers. The situation right now is that we only want pliable yes man and non- achievers around us, not non- conformist who have ideas of their own. Examples and instances show that our successes are more of the result of accident than real efforts. 1991 bankruptcy made us to reform and liberalize and start of Manmohan Singh’s reformism, another accident made him the prime minister in 2004 but this time he failed as a reformist because this time he was acting as a yes-man for some autocrats. A Satya Nadela from Manipal would have never become a CEO if he remained in India, in fact IITians flowers more in foreign country than in India. May be if he remained in India , he would be working as a coder in Infosys or TCS like firm and earning a high salary no but an unlikely CEO candidate of Microsoft like company. ~ Sandeep Jumrani
