Is IITs Education System Competent Enough??

I believe, the real problem of the IITK education system is its incapability to draw the passion of students in the studies and extra curricular. This is partly because of our present education system and partly because of the context in which any student enter in IIT.

We are talking that interaction is not enough among students and professors and so we need more interactive sessions. Are class rooms not the kind of interactive session, at least for studies? If we think, that we need more interactive sessions to figure out our career paths, this is something that we need to figure out ourselves. We need no one to tell us where we should go, we just need to understand ourselves and college life is all about this. We of course need advice, for which we can make an appointment with any authority in IITK. That is not a problem. We are talking about presentation skills. You make some one so passionate that he puts his heart and soul into his work and I bet, you will find it impossible to stop him discussing his work. Presentation and communications are important, but not the point of focus. They are the byproducts of the life you live in your college.

Most of us absolutely feel that the classes and projects as a burden not at all a subject of interest. We don’t pay attention in classes, don’t understand what is being taught. On the contrary we are the best of India. I think, the things are not made in the way that they can be lent easily to our minds. Studies and the way of teachings should be in focus of individual’s ability. Many of us enter in IIT for good jobs not for good studies. So, many of us also don’t try themselves to ponder in the subjects and here, after four years of studies we are not the substance we should be, in absolute sense.

Extra curricular must be in everyone’s life to develop his personality. Let’s talk what extra curricular we have? Most of us, who have some extra curricular, are the cordi, secy or volly of some event (antragini, udgosh, teckriti…….etc.) at most. For this kind of extra curricular we work for 2 weeks before the event and 4 days in the event, if we work at all. This is the maximum level of extra curricular for most of us (not everyone). Now compare someone who is playing football uniformly for four years or working in M-club, photography…..etc. clubs for four years. Playing sports or working in club (if properly organized) demands much more work and interest than working in an event. It gives a taste, a shade or better, I can say it gives a style to our lives and here, we, the proud IITians, lack these shades in true measures. I am just giving a description of a normal IITian.
