I am formally educated in India. So, i decided why not write about the poor quality of education in India. Let me tell you, Indian education is over hyped. I accept India is a great country but Indian education on the other hand is not great at all. I am a B.Tech computer engineer and i got all my education in india. Education in india is 99% focused on theoretical aspects. That’s why more and more people in india are unemployed and even if they get employed they are given former training to equip them with the latest industry trends. If you say me to rate indian education, I will give it a flat 3 out of 10. So why is Indian education so much worse? why?
Because of the following reasons:
- The faculty in Indian colleges are neither trained well nor they have that much knowledge. Remember i am not talking about IITs and like colleges. Gone are the days when teaching was considered a good profession. Now people generally go in the teaching line because they did not get job elsewhere. There are exceptions however.
- Now teachers do not want to teach students they just want to do their jobs.
- Teacher themselves are not too curious.Today technology is virtually changing every six months.They just have outdated knowledge which does not serve any purpose today.
- The syllabus itself is very old and nobody is taking pains to change or modify them.
B.Tech is a great course because it takes 4 years of our life but what do we get in return- Just superficial knowledge on each and every subject which never helps even a bit in our future endeavors.Nobody wants to take a fresh graduates because they know fresh graduates do not have anything to offer to the industry. I blame it full on the indian politicians and education systems.

Well.. good to hear this. Many of the deemed universities do not function to spread education across the region. Its just the buisness. Many students who are not good in academics have joined in these institutions since they can get degree in a easy way.
The input quality is also not scruitinised by the university . Many would have submitted fake documents in the university to get admission. There is no structured procedure to verify the documents during admission. As long as you get money the universities also admit the students.
Literally speaking the total intake of students cannot be changed since DCI/MCI is having a control in medical and dental colleges.( even in case if deemed to be university bcuz they need to register to practise in INDIA) Whereas in engineering Colleges ( Deemed universities)no one is there to stipulate the total intake. Even AICTE doent know the total number of students got admitted by the deemed to be university in each year. Even if u ask.. they may give a wrong figure.
These universities can make money now by spoiling the education system. Atleast now MHRD has awaken to stop this buisness. If not the imopact would be seen after 30 to 40 years that INDIA doent have a quality Engineers and doctors
Thanks Dr. Jayanthy for your comment and thoughts.
I do believe that the standard of Indian education should be enhanced else India will be in miserable condition. I am still not sure that MHRD will do anything for this.
Moreover, I am still confused what MHRD is?
You know nothing about the education. You are truly the product of this system, which is very socialist, and blames the business sector.
The truth is your India lacks the competitive market. That is the reason of all these bullshit.
India is really poor, why… they are lazy.
All teachers are lazy, that`s why they don`t change their syllabuses.
The solution is to go to USA, or UK. Only there, those Indians can succeed. But, in real India, the situation is horrible. Shame on you people.
Also, don`t say that Indians are good at NASA, Microsoft. blah blah
They are not Indians, they are Americans who do not know about India, do not want to hear about it, because they really shame on India, and forgets about India forever.
Education in India is like a Catch-22 situation Because the piece of paper they will give has no value,but at the same time it is absolutely necessary to have it !
I am a lower middle class parent grappling with the problem of how to send ones child for graduation — with limited options and finances such that both the child and the parent can survive this ordeal — financially,mentally and physically
Self Employment seems to be the best bet, but is not an option with our family.
Seems like something DRASTIC — like mass boycott of the system will force the system to change . Already in the schooling domain people in India are embracing “homeschooling” no doubt their numbers are minuscule , hope the movement catches fire and spreads.
I myself walked the middle path sending the child to a not so expensive pvt school but taking care of all educational needs at home & in 9Th and 10Th by way of tuitions
.
Yeah..it is. Why someone think that Indians can not offer any quality in education but the effect is different on different peoples.
In India there are lack of the professional education and it becomes very necessary for everyone to make the career at the high stage and get the satisfaction.
Great post. You have hit the nail.
The problem with india in general is of demand and supply. In india, everyone wants to study engineering but good or decent engineering colleges are in shortages. That’s the biggest problem that why indian engineers do not get trained properly. I had cleared IIIT-Bangalore entrance, but could not join. But after that, i have been doing pretty much low lever kind of work, which indian software houses gives you to do so.
So government of india must step in to make sure that talented people’s talent are being utilized to develop the india as a strong state. Infact, VED have given clear role for ENGINEERS, to BUILD NATIONS. Unfortunately, in current times, people think that VED etc are some sort of SUPERSTITIONS beliefs etc, where as it people will become VEDIC, india will be a developed nation once again and ENGINEERS are the one who bring modernity to the nation itself.
