Indian students should consider studying in China

[FairAndUnbiased]

The number of PhDs are increasing, but the pace is very very slow. India needs to "re-invent" it's education system, which at best is not upto the global standards.

It should do it fast, like China did in 1998. Before 1998, only the top 5% of students could attend university, and even less could get a graduate degree. After 1998, we basically made it so even someone that can only get 60% on the college entrance exam, could go to college.

Otherwise, Indians will keep talking about Indians who designed this or that for Intel, Coca Cola, etc etc. instead of Indian companies that designed this or that.

personally, i am not in favour of that cut-off system that is being followed in Indian Universities. We can't decide upon a person's intellect solely on their performance in senior secondary. I mean 98% for joining a course like BA (Hons.) English is just ridiculous. How many of the DU students go on to get the top jobs?

What we need is a SAT like test, which would determine the intellectual capacity of a student, much like the tests they conduct for medical and engineering courses.

It might be because there's a shortage of universities in India.

We follow a modified cutoff system in China:

400 for vocational tertiary
480 for 3rd tier bachelors (full price)
520 for 2nd tier bachelors (subsidized)
560 for 1st tier bachelors (subsidized)

there's 300 points of very easy questions that anyone who graduated middle school could do.

There's around 4 million 1st tier bachelors students in China, 8 million 2nd tier bachelors, another 8 million 3rd tier bachelors, and probably 5 million vocational students, for a total of 25 million in 2007.

I'm guessing that by now, it should've increased to 30 million college students or so. About half study science and engineering.

China has 25 mln college students -- china.org.cn

Regardless of what some may say, Chinese education system is far better than the one we have here.

What is the scope of humanities in China? I always wanted to be an archaeologist or a historian, but not much scope for these fields in India.

The people to people ties between US and China consists of fatass sex offenders escaping US police and coming to China to fking Chinese girls, and illegal 四邑 manual laborers being the colonial slaves of Anglo masters. Not exactly glorious is it?

Yeah , as if there are no girls to **** in the US. Whatever you are smoking , its definetely not weed , because weed doesn't make one a total ideot

To be honest, most of the "humanities" students in China are doing things like quantitative economics, finance, journalism, marketing, English, etc. Not much room for pure humanities. However, there's plenty of people that do learn history, archaeology, Chinese literature, things of that sort. But they mostly go on to jobs like advertising, newspapers, marketing, financial services, teaching, market research and consulting, things of that sort. Not much market for pure historians or archaeologists.
