Comment on Students are the victims and culprits of India’s broken higher education systemparent

I will put in a word about medicine. Government run medical colleges are good because they have a lot of patients. Private medical colleges for the most part are in the business of selling seats to the highest bidder.

Recently, the central govt proposed a single nationwide entrance test to curb the seat selling. Private colleges filed a case against it and won.(search for NEET exams)

I seriously cannot understand something like admission to medicine being decided by how much one pays. This leads to a lot of doctors who don't know a thing about medicine.

My cousin's son had a protruding spinal cord from the back, and the doctor had not noticed that after doing more than 10 ultrasonography. The doctor was just that ignorant, thanks to which the son was born with both his limbs paralyzed. The doctors who delivered the baby after a huge operation did not believe how a doctor can miss that.

So go to any small town, and you have really lousy doctors, thanks to our education system.
