Except for the few Govt run institutions like IITS and IIMs and a handful universities which filter and make admissions,most of the educational institutions do not have adequate infrastructure and competent teaching faculty for the courses they offer.Education,supposedly a noble profession,has been,of late reduced to business with grant of admissions by collecting exorbitant capitation and tution fees by the unscrupulous private managements who awfully fail to provide even basic facilities needed for teacher or taught.Instances like that of a private medical management which tried to hoodwink the approving authorities by producing fake paramedical staff ,fake doctors as also fake patients to get their "venture "okayed"are still in people's green memory.The mushroom growth of private colleges indiscriminately permitted by the corrupt govt/s has rendered the degrees obtained from them virtually worthless and precisely for this reason some of them have no takers;seats remain vacant throughout the academic year.The increasing neo-rich and the upcoming affluent upper middle class, with their affordability, naturally crave for quality education out side the country & prefer to send their children for abroad studies which have good demand in employment market too.It is not that education standards are high abroad;they are,unlike Russian medical degrees are not recognised even by India,are certainly better with positive prospects of jobs also as in USA.Hence B.D.

USA not recognizing Indian medical degrees is nothing to do with quality of Indian medical institution but due to due to US doctor association's move to discourage Indian Immigration.

I was telling that all foreign education is not qualitative as it happens with Russian medical degrees which are not recognised even by INDIA.I did not say that USA does not recognise Indian medical degrees.USA does recognise the medical degrees of India to some extent,but imposes doing additional courses/additional study to get a fullfledged degree and recognition owing to their adoption of an all together different standards which are relatively higher than ours-say eg their internship is more rigorous with longer duration.

My point was that some of the institutions- especially privately run, lack competent teaching staff which affects the quality of education.When we learn things,we should learn correctly and perfectly.Any thing half done or half learnt is hardly done or hardly learnt.As you know, half knowledge is always dangerous.It is against this back ground, those who could afford are tending to have their children educated abroad-especially in engineering medical and of late also management fields.
