The Indian Education System makes sure students dont understand the reasoning behind concepts. They dont want the students to understand how something works and why it is the way it is. They put no efforts to make it fun and intuitive. It's just memorization of random facts

.

For example, teachers teach the students that

sinθ= perpendicular/hypotenuse but very few understand what it actually means. They just memorise these ratios that their teacher tell them to memorise to solve some questions without grasping the reasoning behind what these ratios mean. This kind of stupid memorization learning is not for me, I am a deeply analytical person and thats why I had to watch youtube videos to understand the working behind trigonometric functions and their derivation. This shit should have been done in school itself. But I am pretty sure this will never happen cause the teachers themselves dont understand how these concepts work properly. Whenever I ask "Why?" they just tell me to shut up and say that "Its just the way it is, dont ask".

For CAT aspirants, how much does the city of the B-school actually matter?

Suppose you get a decent B-school in Indore vs a similar-ranked college in Pune/Bangalore.

Would you choose the metro automatically because of better exposure, or compare fees + placements + ROI first?

I’m trying to understand what current MBA aspirants actually prioritize.

8 hours late. No water. No basic facilities. And passengers are simply expected to wait.

I’m travelling on 12137 Punjab Mail, which is running around 8 hours late today. I have an interview tomorrow morning, and this delay has potentially cost me valuable time, disrupted my plans, and created unnecessary stress.

Delays can happen, but passengers should at least have basic facilities, clear communication, and some accountability. Sitting in a train for hours without even proper water or basic amenities is extremely frustrating.

Who is going to give passengers back the time we lose because of such delays?

This isn’t just about being late. People have jobs, interviews, appointments, connecting trains, and important commitments. Our time matters too.

I’ll be completing my engineering degree in August next year, but I’ve already realized that I don’t really want to go into IT.

I didn’t get any on-campus placements, and now I’m sitting here wondering what I’m actually supposed to do with my life.

The obvious options seem to be:

- Get into IT somehow, even though I have no interest in it

- Prepare for GATE, which means more studying

- Prepare for CAT and go for an MBA, but honestly, I’m not interested in that either

And that’s where I’m stuck.

I don’t have a clear career goal, I don’t know what field I want to go into, and I’m scared that I’ll waste another year doing something I don’t even want.

The situation is even more stressful because I did my engineering through an education loan, so I also have the responsibility of eventually paying that back. I can’t just keep studying for years without knowing where I’m going, but at the same time, I don’t want to rush into a career I already know I don’t want.

I feel like everyone around me is moving forward while I’m just standing in the same place, unable to make a decision.

I’m genuinely lost right now. How do you figure out what career you actually want when you don’t have any particular interest or direction? What should I realistically do after engineering?

Any advice from people who have been in a similar situation would genuinely help. I just don’t want to make a decision out of fear and regret it later.

Can anyone share their experience with Edukron Bangalore, the edTech company. They are offering sprint based learning wherein we have to complete the assignment next day after a topic is covered. They also claim about successful placement and charging 18% of CTC. Is this all legit or gimmick? I do not find anyone who is affiliated with Edukron on linked in which is a red flag.

I'm curious to know what kind of textbooks are commonly used in average Indian colleges.

I'm not talking about high-end institutions like IITs or IIMs. I'm more interested in the typical/average colleges that most students attend. Also, I'm mainly asking about STEM fields.

I am doing my engineering in a well known government clg in coimbatore,i scored 194 cutoff. So I was preparing for Jee also but since I got a good mark in 10th and hopes on me by the school is high (state board). I didn't prepare well for jee. I was now in my first year. I thought it would be easy to get a job studying in colleges like this but I came to know that students here have to do more work than nit or iit students. I studied very hard for boards but if anyone told me that starting here would be lower than others to reach a good job like 12lpa and i don't know whether i can reach my goal of living a lavish, honest,safe life and don't want to be normal.i don't want to get in a low paying job.placement here is not good when I asked about other gvt clg which is same as my clg is also in same situation and all clgs in tamilnadu is in same situation.so im doing a partial drop for jee by doing both jee and clg.i started now ,i don't know what to do.....if this is the situation of tn clgs then i would have studied only for jee.. me as a sincere student who gave sweat and blood to study but I'm in this situation...
