Founder Slams Indian Education System, Calls It 'Destructive'

A startup founder named Akhil Suhag is upset about the way students are selected for top schools and jobs in India.

He says the current system, which relies heavily on tough entrance exams like IIT/NIT and UPSC, is unfair.

He believes these exams test how well people memorize facts rather than how smart they are at a subject.

He argues that the exams force students to spend years studying unrelated subjects.

He is worried that this system can make smart people waste their potential and affect what jobs and programs they can get into, as well as stifle innovation for India.
