Indian Administrative Services exams, IIT exams of India are considered to be one of the toughest exams in the world. Indian education is considered one of the finest in the world. The most intelligent minds in NASA are from India. One can very well judge from this that the educational standards here in India are excellent. But due to the sudden growth in the education sector by the entry of the private entrepreneurs, the quality of education has decreased. Money earning motto of majority of engineering, medical and various other colleges has given a setback to the education system here. Moreover there are certain other impediments which has stagnated the growth of education in India. It is high time to look into these problems:
1. Reservation:
Reservation was actually the concept initiated by the Indian government for the upliftment of minorities and poor classes so that they get better representation in society and are imparted good education. With the passage of time theses classes started growing and progressing. No more these classes are lower than any other but still a percentage of seats is reserved for them in all the institutions, all competitive and various other professions. The actual talent is often suppressed because of these reservation rules.
2. Fail to Extract Student's Interest:
Every student has hidden interest an expertise in one particular field. Some excel in sports, some are good debaters but in spite of all these things they have to mug up the mandatory subjects and later go into medical or engineering fields for which they are not actually meant for. The actual talent thus gets graved and dies. It becomes the duty of the teacher to understand and extract each and every student's interest and then guide them further in their field of interest.
3. All About Money:
Engineering, medical, postgraduate and other colleges budding up in every nook and corner of the country have just become the modern shops of education imparting education that too of poor quality for big sum of money. Most of them lack proper laboratories, libraries and quality staff too. Statutory bodies need to take a good check on the colleges before providing affiliation, accreditation etc. to the colleges.
