our education system :-)

We Indians, often dream of going abroad for higher education. Rightly so as education system in India has always been criticized. I would not dwell much onto the what Jairam Ramesh said recently that we do not have world class faculty. I personally thinks its Indian Education System as a whole that needs some refinement. When we talk of school level education, there is highly any coordination across various states. Central boards like CBSE and ICSE are well organized but when we speak of state boards, they are way behind in some parts of the nation. Hardly any student touch 90% marks in state boards like UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal pradesh. Few years back  I was standing in a queue to submit my form for admission in St. Stefen's college, New Delhi there I saw a girl with 100 marks in english in her 10+2 examination. See the variation! When I was in Kota, I had one batch-mate who cleared IIT-JEE but later denied admission just because he scored 57% marks in 10+2. We can blame coaching trend in Kota for this 'coz students there do not attend school their  and prepare for JEE but again many students suffer 'coz of poor marking methodology of state boards. There has to be some modification so that students don't suffer just because they studied from state board. May be one single board all over the nation can solve this problem to some extent. Not only marking, the quality of education in rural areas needs to be uplifted. I know this is a very difficult thing but neither we can deny that so far no effort has been put in this direction. Efforts always yield results. 
Higher education in India also has been under scrutiny for sometime.Again I would not discuss much about the absence of emphasis put on research here. If we talk of technical education, the absence of interaction between academia and industry is a major concern. What we study and whats required from industrial view point needs to evaluated. 
(One suggestion I want to  give to all my teachers and friends in NITH. Please promote the culture of research in our college. Please make our juniors understand whats the importance of research papers. Here in IISc,I met so many students from NIT-Surathkal and almost each one of them has published upto 4-5  research papers.)
Emphasis should be laid more on practical approach of teaching. If we are studying electromechanics, if our teacher shows us a motor, its windings-it makes it easy for us to learn the concept. If we are being taught switchgear and protection, a visit to a nearby dam can male things easier to visualize. I dont think it would be tough for a teacher to create the students' interest in the lecture if he/she tells the aim and practical applicability of the topic in beginning of every lecture.
Its not just the lack of resources or opportunities that weakens our education system, but the wastage of  whatever resources we possess leads to a weak education system. We have some great mind as faculty and students as well, but we need a foolproof mechanism to lead them.
As a matter of fact a revolution is needed to solve this crisis. Students aren’t willing to mug up but their hands are tied. We need to lay emphasis on practical education system wherein students will be able to learn with all the modern technique and equipments available and they need not be a bookworm always.
