    @mechprog
    my friend i m not much experienced yet but i can assure you the problem you have stated, is not only in India. A lot of my friends n even me facing same problem
    but i observed that there is always great chance for hardwork…
    I havnt seen world much, but whatever i saw wasnt 100 negative

    Its ultimately you, who can turn a posibility into a existance.
    Dont be so pesimistic, or u will always see negative things around you..
    Good luck…

  56. Sumit Verma

  61. mechprog

    I know it will not pass moderation-just like my earlier comment!
    But, believe me, rather you yourself know- that situation of education in india is pathetic.Except few IITs and few other colleges (yes! excluding most NITs) what matters is money- not education!
    Except few authors (and publishers) …………everybody knows the whole story!!! (T_T) (;_;)

  62. VISHAK MADHAV

    Hello Sir,
    Your contributions are very useful , please continue the good work.
