The interesting story of our educational system | Adhitya Iyer | TEDxCRCE

A story surrounding more than a million students in India built around a booming IT industry, a machine like education system, a race to a seat amongst the top engineering colleges and student suicides in our system. The Indian education system in all its complexity has turned out to be one of the most fascinating educational stories in the world. Watch Adhitya Iyer in his talk share his travel around the country discovering the truth behind the common engineer in India.
Adhitya Iyer completed his engineering degree from Mumbai University, where he studied in an institute interestingly named after Sardar Patel and was inaugurated by Nehru. He was listed as one of India's Top 30 student entrepreneurs by the NEN. He later spent 2 years in Bangalore selling chai, before he set out to write a non-fiction on the complex life of India's engineers is Kickstarter funded and is India's highest crowdfunded book. He thinks the society needs to be re-imagined and that humans can't be spending more than half their life doing something they seldom enjoy.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

[@neha_h]

Kids are constantly reminded about engineering and getting into prestigious institutes that when the time comes to choose their career they are blind to all other options which with risk can still change your life for better or for worse. If people looked at the rich and famous Indians who achieved what they wanted before they did the people who play safe would have mocked them and labelled them as fools who will end up broke. How will we know if we never try? We will spend our whole life thinking about what could have been of we take the safe path.

I am also a student. To be honest, I think engineering (and now even medical) are treated more as a sign of prestige rather than their actual essence and effect. Many parents in India today have been accustomed to this mindset. When a child complains about the pressure, he/she is mostly told to face it boldly and go ahead, because there is no other way to succeed. The most ironic matter is that we are taught with a specific goal to crack an exam, whether we imbibe the knowledge or just memorize and spit it out on paper. And then in the future, we are asked if we have learned anything from our journey. Well, it's less of a journey and more of a regime! This comment is getting too long, but it can hardly encompass the entirety of the bad effects our education system has.(if it can even be called an education system now)

I have to ask, very sincerely, when you quit a job to take time off to explore yourself, for that time period do you rely on money you saved up from your job...or?......is it not scary? Not having a job...betting everything on the chance you will find what it right for you. Im not trying to put your decision down, i just want to know how you go about thinking about this. Do you rely on family for support for this time period?

[@md.umairkhan2611]

Manasvi Singh yes I did save some money to do something.. and yes it is scary to think about going broke. This fear stops people from doing something great... following their dreams... creating something big. But if u think that and if u stop due to the fear... what will u do then... I know what U will do, U will do the same ordinary thing. Here what I think is... take risk, implement ur ideas, try to run your business, fail, try again.... achieve something great or atleast u tried. Before u r trapped in responsibilities where it is very tough to return back.
