The reason I mentio...I can not agree with you more. The reason I mentioned IITs may better than the rest in India is not based on any facts, but my short stay in IISc, Bangalore. I found the academic activities and assignments certainly more stimulating and challenge you to apply rather than just learn.

I think it drove home the point. I also want to add one more thought here. By what standards are IITs good in India itself?. We need to know that?. In India the education system is not about creativity and real knowledge. It is only about cramming what has been created by the Americans or the Japanese .Think we are good at it. Probably like a memory chip to embed programmed instructions. IITs are not different. The very fact that India is in the bottom pole of scientific knowledge and economy is because of over hype in all fields and pathetically even in education sector. I must say that it takes a lot of cramming power and discipline to get into IIT with the sheer size of population. So ultimately when one lands into the IITs - u might have been a great hard worker but not smart hard worker at all. The American companies know this and they do not ever put an IITian inside a creative department at all. Note one more point - can anyone land inside a premier management institute in the US without proper work experience?. In India - you can. You can join IIMs without any work experience. The grand Indian education system produces coolie - non-creative workers for the world - IITians included. It is a fact.The New Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486590295858837735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163661793340851130.post-13790980756014120272009-05-03T22:38:57.000-05:002009-05-03T22:38:57.000-05:00Indian jokers can only think of Silicon Valley of ...Indian jokers can only think of Silicon Valley of india, Bollywood,mumbai the new york of India etc. Let us wait when they rename the country as USA 2nd phase, start calling Tirupati as Vatican of India and finally call IITs as MITs of india. My long stay in US made me sick of attitude of indians there. Ignorant, unhygenic, 10 in one apartment, bathrooms stinking, leasing agencies insulting them, stingy behaviour and backbiters. The common thread uniting all is that no one wants to go back to India yet praise " yeverything yabout Yindia"ranjannoreply@blogger.com
