My Education

I did reasonably well all the way up to the XII class when I had to make a choice for my career. Joined the engineering college for a BTech in Electrical Engineering, I surprise myself with a Gold Medal !. My passion for computer and technology was very evident by the elaborate computer based project I completed. My professor had to ask me to stop haunting the computer room so that others had a chance to use the computer !

Did I enjoy my education?    
I think so. It was fun and I had the aptitude for learning.

Did I think it is useful ? 
Yes and No.
Yes - It does give you a discipline in learning which I find lacking in the Western world.
No- It misses some of the crucial real world teaching as well as does not really expand the mind to become open for new opportunities. Confidence and communication are other areas where I think the Indian schooling could be improved.
