I am not agree with Karthik.I am studying here in USA ( PhD) and I have done my previous studies in India and I am glad I did that.that gave me strength to do better here unlike other students (citizens).Unlike schooling higher studies are little difficult here.Here you dont see much competition in schools and by this they dont develop competitive nature, and becasue of this they get difficulty in higher studies.I do agree higher study like PhD is slighty hard thats why you see more PhD international student students than American, its definitly hard for them to go through this since they have very easy school. they get a lot time to all the useless things in schools and undergrads.Infact Indian studens known to be bariny here, not American. Not winning Nobel prize have different isuue and I dotn want to discuss that in this column.and finally its world famous that American student have poorest general knowledge.When I was In India I used to say same things but now being exposue to here I came to know all the reality.I am really really proud of Indian schooling system.Though it can be little easy but definitly should not be like USA.Indian schooling system is best in the world.
