The future of Indian College Students

NY times has a very revealing article on Indian College Education via Slashdot

“In the 2001 census, [Indian] college graduates had higher unemployment — 17 percent — than middle or high school graduates… [At a middle-tier college] dozens of students swarmed around a reporter to complain about their education. ‘What the market wants and what the school provides are totally different,’ a commerce student said…. A final-year student who expects next year to make $2 to $4 a day hawking credit cards, was dejected. ‘The opportunities we get at this stage are sad,’ she said. ‘We might as well not have studied.’”

If a student feels like this then what is the use of the education? Too much is talked and nothing done towards Education in India. And neither the Government nor the Private sector damn care a bit about the unaware student population regarding their future.
