Some of the peculiar qualities of Indian Education System:
1. You should not think Outside-the-Book (till school days, teacher don't like students who asks too many questions.. that too one which that are outside-the-book)
2. Concentrate on Marks. At the end what matters is how much did you score in school exam, what was average in graduation.. what is you GPA in PG ... More you score.. that means you are INTELLIGENT.
3. Exams are taken in every 2 months... then system of evaluation of exams itself is so complex that even the teachers sometimes get confused.
Once the school starts you have no time to play.
4. Extra-Curricular are good but not good for career.. If you want to earn a living after graduation .. better stop thinking about extra-curricular.
5. During School days, for any kind of Projects - teacher will give the topic.. and parents will do the work .. and student will never understand what exactly the project was about... but get the marks.
6. If you can't understand the school teacher's teaching... Join COACHING CLASSES.. they will teach you how to RATTOFY (mug-up) things and vomit in exams.. and get good marks.. hence you will become INTELLIGENT.
7. The Science stream is only for INTELLIGENT people (one who gets good marks in school-level).. and ARTS stream is for the people who dont have any other option.
The decision of choosing stream is based on your MARKS.. and not your liking or not on your aptitude.
All the points stated above may not be related to just our education system.. but are also related to the mentality of Indian people which was developed due to our education system.
What do you think .. is it time that our education system needs to change -
Don't your think education system should be the one which encourages more innovation.. one which supports child's natural talent.. and does not thrust their own system on child and mould them according to the system.
Or you think that our education system is already very good. (dont think just about IIT's and IIMs .. please think about the education at the school level)

Hi,
One more point to add is the style of the Q paper.Q paper concentrates more on thoery and asks students to write for pages.You can't differentiate b/w English Literature and Science paper of STD 12 frm TN.Less than 10% of the science paper has prblms.Qs are nt oriented towards application of the concepts.So students blindy read the formulae and they don't know where and huv to use.This is worse than nt knowing it.
Education system in India is producing only Memory monkeys than real and innovative thinkers.
One of the worst education system in the world is Indian education system, It needs lot of changes to create more scientist, researchers, and innovators.

India Education Historical Background:
The Vedas, Puranas, Ayurveda,Yoga, Kautilya's Arthasahtra are only some of the milestones that the traditional Indian knowledge system boasts of. There are evidences of imparting formal education in ancient India under the Gurukul system.
Under the Gurukul system, young boys who were passing through the Brahmacharya stage of life had to stay at the Guru or the teacher's home and complete their education.
Although the ancient system of education has produced many geniuses and still a major area of research, it was hardly egalitarian. Women and people of lower castes gradually lost their right to educate themselves. The spread of Jainism, Buddhism, Bhakti and Sufi movements did have some liberating effects on the condition of the women, sudras and atisudras. But it is the English language and the reformation movements of the 19th century that had the most liberating effect in pre-independent India. Thus, the Britishers, although rightly criticized for devastating the Indian economy, can also be credited for bringing a revolution in the Indian education system.
India Education Present Condition:
Soon after gaining independence in 1947, making education available to all had become a priority for the government. As discrimination on the basis of caste and gender has been a major impediment in the healthy development of the Indian society, they have been made unlawful by the Indian constitution.
The 86th constitutional amendment has also made elementary education a fundamental right for the children between the age group- 6 to 14. According to the 2001 census, the total literacy rate in India is 65.38%. The female literacy rate is only 54.16%. The gap between rural and urban literacy rate is also very significant in India. This is evident from the fact that only 59.4% of rural population are literate as against 80. 3% urban population according to the 2001 census.
In order to develop the higher education system, the government had established the University Grants Commission in 1953. The primary role of UGC has been to regulate the standard and spread of higher education in India. There has been a marked progress in the expansion of higher education if we look at the increase of higher educational institutes in India. The higher education system in India comprise of more than17000 colleges, 20 central universities, 217 State Universities, 106 Deemed to Universities and 13 institutes of Natioanl importance. This number will soon inflate as the setting up of 30 more central universities, 8 new IITs, 7 IIMs and 5 new Indian Institutes of Science are now proposed.
Education System in India:
The present education system in India mainly comprises of primary education, secondary education, senior secondary education and higher education. Elementary education consists of eight years of education. Each of secondary and senior secondary education consists of two years of education. Higher education in India starts after passing the higher secondary education or the 12th standard. Depending on the stream, doing graduation in India can take three to five years. Post graduate courses are generally of two to three years of duration. After completing post graduation, scope for doing research in various educational institutes also remains open.
