I believe, in the present education system, students don't prepare for LIFE, they prepare for EXAMS. They are NOT Students, but examinees. All what you learn in 1 semester/trimester/year, is checked only in 3 hours ? Isn't that Ridiculous ? What does this mean ? Cram all you can for 1 term, and puke all of it, on sheets of paper ? Is that education ? Is that Knowledge ? Our System is totally B.S. !!
SCORE DOESN'T MATTER. Don't run after MARKS or GPA. What matters is what you really know or how well you can apply what you know.
I won't be surprised, if I find Under-Performers in studies, living a Luxurious life, while Top Scorers struggling to live Hand-to-Mouth.
Do watch FALTU, which came in 2011 (I know its not a good film, but see for the main message it gives to the society. Ritesh says: "Its not that children are USELESS, its just they are USED LESS !")

Continuing to that. I also quote from 3 Idiots. Aamir Said - "Kamyaab nahi, Kaabil bano." (Don't be Successful, be Capable).
