Drawbacks of Indian education system

• Poor Grading System: The Indian Education system judge students on the basis of their academic performance and not on their overall performance. This affects those students who are not that good at specific subjects. The focus is only on the theory subjects, which doesn’t allow a student to look beyond the main subjects which he or she chooses. 
• Less attention to practical knowledge: While theoretical understanding of any subject is important, it does not play a major role when it comes to implementing these ideas in the real world. This practice makes them perplexed when the students go out in the real world due to a lack of practical knowledge. 
• Mugging up: It is often seen that students just mug up the formulas and theories without actually understanding them. This is because of less attention given to the understanding part before moving forward solving any problem. Due to the huge syllabus and less time, students usually mug up to get marks. Even teachers in schools and colleges expect students to write the exact definition given in the textbooks. This does not allow the students to think out of the box.
• Not able to choose a variety of subjects: there are not enough subjects to choose according to the student’s choice. This is the reason that students fail to get admission into colleges, and they keep trying only in one direction, as they do not have much knowledge about the other fields. 
• Quality of teachers: Though India has a lot of experienced teachers, schools in rural areas still face scarcity when it comes to the quality of these teachers. A lot of these teachers are not experienced and qualified enough to teach the students who sometimes leads to losing the basic demand from education. Teachers at government schools are getting salaries, but still only a few take their profession seriously. This results in poor education for the students. 
• Problem with Private schools: Private schools are more interested in the number of students who take admission rather than focusing on the quality of their education. There are times when the classrooms are full, and thus the teacher is not able to focus particularly on one child. Due to this, though education is given to a lot, there are only a few who truly takes it in. 
• No overall development: In India, we give more importance to marks and not to the overall development. Less focus on extra-curricular activities is also a reason why students going to colleges are not ready to face the realities. This is also the reason that why after college, when students sit for the placements, they are not corporate ready to face the world.
