Two products of favouritism discussing the role of education. Are their points valid? Yes. Do they have any personal achievement? No. Are their personal achievements necessary for the debate? No. Why have i raised these points? No reason.
Mai bhi bm meet me aaunga sir 1 din 5 crore bna ke
Unacademy GATE is absolute trash.
And you sell the same dream to your users.hypo***sy😅
I m fully agree with him
Being an engineer, I can say that 90â„… engineers are not employable and not useful. They just got the degree by studying one day before exam.
Also we should also think about other streams also like commerce . It also has good exposure in terms of jobs but a environment is being made in the society is that if you do commerce u r doing nothing . Let's take a example if average student choose science he will be celebrated , but the same guy choose to do commerce people will laugh at him . Education sector have to change . Not only focus on iits/iims/aiims but do provide quality education in all fields and also not only theory but focus more on practical part also.
Instead of complaining and trying to change the education system of a country of 1.4 billion people do whatever shit it takes to get in that top 1% ,its survival of the fittest.
Nmims average package is 25lakhs rupees nowadays
Bhai Apke baat me point hai par kuch hoga tabhi na kuch hoga
baat to shi h pr bg music hata do
Ha bhai gyan to koi bhi de lega phle khud usi education se paise kmao fir use hi incompetent btao
Chlo bhout hogya podcast ab teachers kharido jaake or bank ka intrest and loan kese repay karna h wo socho jaake
for this reason only most rich kid went to usa , UK, Canada to get better lifestyle
Fuck yeahhh …..facts 💯
What abt those who don't get Govn and can't afford pvt 😶
And these kids make iit and mbbs everything 🤡 and think that😊 without that you are loser in life…it is so overhyped man.😅
Current Eduction system is fked up
And we are thinking of becoming visjwagurus😂. Bhai abhi ham bhut peeche hai education me aur human resources me. Aur kaise ye sahi hoga mujhe nahi pata. Modi sarkar ke 10 sal me fundamental level pe to koi change nahi aya
Bhai baat to sahi ki par apka business bhut faltu hai. It is doing nothing to xultivate real.knowledge. All I see is propogation of coaching culture and mediocrity
so true
Atleast engineering walo ke pass IIT ke alawa aur options to hai but medical walo ko poora career change karna padta hai agar Neet nhi hua to🥲
I agree but exams are the way to separate creamy layer from total population, its not that they want student who are good at chemistry,physics specifically but they know that these chosen students are fast learners and hardworking
Most students in IIT work much harder than tier 3 college students
Only 1-2 students in entire branch of tier 3 college puts effort enough to get high package jobs , rest all just waste their time
Koi hi toh hai hey sochne wala 😮😮
Merko lagh ki mai akela huu jo hey soch ta tha 😅
And what are you doing
Wasn't he an IAS officer with a doctorate form AIIMS ?
IIT is just a college.
We all have to come together and change the notion of people about the hype of iits. Come together, make a big community for this.
If you agree like this.
We will make it.😡
If they have capability, they can get into those top 3% colleges. It is always easy to say that only few selected children crack these exams but i have never seen anyone who gave his all and couldn't crack it
Indian parents will never realise this…they feel keep studying ..everything will be great
One of the Best place to demonstrate this change of "Higher Ed" can be Kota
This is hypocrisy at its peak. He is talking about changing higher-ed and how 97% kids who can't get into higher education dont get good education. But his company itself is primarily focused on coaching kids for IITs and NEET. He is himself making money off IIT coaching and then saying not getting into IITs is a problem for 97%. Why isn't his start up then focused on higher ed and solving that problem for the 97%. Whatvim hearing is: I'LL MAKE MONEY OFF THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD SOLVE IT.
Typical desi entrepreneur hypocrite rhetoric.
We all know the problem but no one has a solution yet. All the edtechs have done is catered to the parents who want their kids to crack the same competitive exams. Change has to come from the industry, Zoho is a great example. The government should also help from a policy and investment stand point. Right now the edtech investments are only making things worse.
Does Unacademy hire from these Tier-2,3 colleges?
3.5 per month,?
Its so true!
Being from a college that even my nightmares couldnt think of i feel that these colleges are wasting so much potential and infact sometimes these create people like me who loose interest in studies due to such things.
The only option in india is the competitive exams and im not saying they r bad cause they create a same starting line for everyone but for people who do nothet into such colleges are then sucked for money and precious time for no value in exchange by the so called private colleges .
The biggest difference that i found between a gov college is that they r for educating children whereas all tier 3 colleges r for the owners to earn money.
I might be wrong in some places but its just my frustration speaking after feeling helpless in my situation and kind of fending for my silly study dicisions at 18 yr of age.
