The following is an excerpt from a page in future history textbooks of TN:
"During the era of information revolution where engineering colleges were sprouting along erstwhile forested and barren land in Tamil Nadu, a group of incapable administrators conducted Indian equivalents of concentration camps in the hallowed corridors of sprawling campuses, in the name of good education. The students however found an avenue to explore their creativity by trying to break every foolish rule imposed by 'educated' farcical administrators. At the end of the 4 years of step-by-step removal of intellectual curiosity through rote learning, batches of students were exported to greener pastures of USA,presently known as United Students of American Indians.
The following manuscript is a sample rules page of a so-called famous engineering institution in Chennai , capital of Tamil Nadu"
Every Tom,Dick and Harry has started an engineering college to amass wealth. Laws of extrapolation has it that there will soon be more private engineering colleges than students in TN.
While people like me have successfully escaped torturous 4 years of prison-school education by studying abroad, there are many who will still continue to sell their family wealth to secure admission seats through "quota" to get an also-ran B.E title. Everyone first becomes an engineer ,then they figure out what to do. It's a gateway to secure seats for graduate education in foreign institutions ,a means to an end.
While the rest of the world is busy upgrading the quality of their educational institutions, technical institutions in Tamil Nadu continue to impose superficial rules, curb personal freedom, discourage originality, employ barely knowledgeable staff, perform plagiarised research, systematically reduce the intellectual curiosity of thousands of brilliant students, make them pay hordes of money for zero knowledge returns and ship them to US for them to never return back. US economy keeps growing while Indian economy keeps going down. Cause : Not dearth of talent but destruction of quality of education.
We seem to have this strategy nailed down for two decades. Everyone resents it,but why is nothing being done about it?
Here's a crazy solution a friend had : "Every student should write Anne Frankesque diaries of their traumatic four years and publish them , maybe that will open the eyes of the greedy administrators" :P
