According to me Indian Universities and indian studies are the best in the world..if this wasnt true then why there would be more than 50% indian doctors in US and more than 20% scientists in NASA are IITians???
but i asked myself once.... why do people go abroad for studies???
Some reasons i found out are...
1) if u get into good university or good cllege then no problem...but if u cant then u will get in to a bad college(letz say) and the difference in the grade of education u get is unimaginable...but in US or Aus the difference between the good and bad university is very less...so many go abroad...
2) corruption and politics: this is the main reason y many educates go abroad and settle there....i think there is no need to emphasize on this matter..
3) respect for service: this is lackin in India...there is no respect and value for service...think of a doctor who studies for 5 to 6 years like a nerd and take the degree and come out of college ...he/she getz into a job the startin pay will not even touch 5 digits...that poor fellow would have spent 5 digit amount on his/her books itself..so how can he console himself...so he/she leaves for abroad where there are good oppurtunities ...
there might be many reasons i've given some facts...others kindly pour in ur thoughts....
Some Valid points there but wouldnt totally agree..!!
The stastics u hve shown of doctors and scientist at NASA surely proves that Indians are intelligent beings.. But not that sure that Indian Univ's best in the world..
Now m bringing some statistics which i may have read in the past cpl months or so..
The facts provided might not be correct to point but pretty much precise..!
I believe i had read that IIM (A) the best B-School Of India ranks 102 in global ranking of B-Schools... So can u actually believe the best here aint even in the top 100.. So mebbe a fifth or sixth graded univ here would be on what charts??
The irony here is getting into the best b-school in the world is easier than IIM..
Well if u just put up some rough figures an odd 175 thousand appeared for cat frm which a 2000 odd went on 2 second round and mebbe 1300 odd seats are been fought for in IIMS.. So somethin arnd 130 odd forms only 1 gets into IIMS frm that.. The Ration 130:1
Now putting this onto the likes of harvard and wharton they have an average ratio of 25-30 : 1.. Which means every 25 - 30 applicant would be getting an admission out there..!!
So now comes the second phase if u are in top 10-15 no probs.. But if not than better u get ur degree frm abroad.. N e wyz u have much better chances as in the ratio is jst 25 : 1... U could be in the likes of harvard, wharton , duke , lbs etc...!!
My basic point down here is if u not getttin in top 10-15 dont settle for somethin else infact go for a better goal which is outside India...!!!
Nd Rajiv do post in why do u say going abroad is a mistake coz if u have settled for a just ok university outside than its again going to be the same probs.. The difference of educatin level between the best and average..!!
But i would say that the average univ in places like U.k & U.S would be giving a very hight competition to average univs here infact they better any day..!!:big_grin:
