IITians.. paid for by the Indian tax payer. But of no use to India, but US.
Why target only IITians, even non-IITians migrate in large numbers. Also, they are not 100% to blame for this, if you foster a good environment nobody will leave. Everyone is to be blamed.
Entrance exam culture is biggest bullshit of the century India facing. On one hand college dropout are starting startups and disciplined intelligence thrown in to mindless clerical works, ultimately proving first idea works better than the second.
Unpopular opinion: this is not the way engineering should be taught, to ace a stupid test. I understand these are economically underprivileged kids and I wish them best, but I would really love it if someone followed up on where they end up after graduation. I’m hoping that as the economy develops further, the need to go to such extremes will diminish and folks can pursue their true calling.

Nit: "super 30" is not about teaching engineering. That begins after the said exam.

Taxpayer money shouldn't be spent in funding such competition. While education systems in west are focused towards collaboration, Indian education system makes them compete against each other like wild dogs. When will India understand, it's not about competition but collaboration. We can argue this system creates very few winners and a lot of people feel like losers in this system. If they made them feel better, they…
Citation needed. Capitalism is basically "free for all competition" in a nutshell.

> but IIT was not be-all end-all. There was always DCE, REC. Its a way to use as filters at later stage of life. Job or marriage (see iitiimshaadi.com). Top 2% or top 10%.
Man I am glad I missed all this. And not even sure how this would have worked. Back in my days at IITB we had about 350 boys and 7 girls.
For many who don't know, there are coaching classes where preparation for the exam is begun as early as the 5th or 6th grade.
It took me 2 years to get over the failure of not getting into IIT. It's a really messed up situation. I really hope parents understand the situation and stop traumatizing their kids.
