India is the worst County in case of education I have seen many students committing sueside due to academic score and teachers are irresponsible for such kind of acts only the one who is good in study's have right to live in India and rest of the fields are just to show that the county is running smoothly but truth is more worst than you think no facility's at all, over population and... Toppers are the one who must breath in India rest of all must kill them selves the only and only rule India is the country which have highest amount of slaves in case of academics

I don't understand how the hell! The toppers ( cbse) get 99 in English and subjects like psychology.. Here the toppers don't even the same level of knowledge as Korean or Chinese students... Corrupt politicians, corrupt teachers, corrupt schools. Here everyone is playing with student's desire and future. WHAT'S THE USE OF EDUCATION WHEN MOST OF THEM SETTLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.. AND SERVE OTHER COUNTRIES INSTEAD OF THEIR OWN..

Indian parents think, joining their kids to engineering colleges makes them look rich and prestigious...But those kids couldn't even communicate better with the society..education is a big bussiness in the country but...as far as I've noticed a recent movie which was released about the engineering life...students joined more than the percent in that acadamic year after watching that film...its looks joking but the sad reality is the whole country is a big joke!

In India, they teach you how to get a job. Students cheat in exams and the system does not look for the reason instead they look for ways to stop students from cheating. If their are only 25 subjects and the student is passionate or is good at something else, his/her life is a failure. what?

When I studied there for majority of my life, I have noticed how unfair and behind the education system is compared to a first-world country where I live now. I studied in a private school back then. I have also seen how inefficient the public schools are. First, there are shifts in schools, in other words, there are 3 groups of students who go to school at a different time, morning, afternoon, and evening. Second, the classrooms are too full. When the capacity of a classroom is assuming 30 people, it would be filled with double or triple the people. Where I studied back then, teachers were biased and they never marked fairly. One thing is why the projects are worth 30-50 percent of your grade (basically your whole mark already)? When I compared my marks there to my marks to where I am now, my marks where I am now are in the 90's while back then my marks were in the low 80's range. Plus I used to have classmates who never studied and who failed every test given then once the projects ...more
