為什么印度學(xué)生要出國?

Manav Garg
Why do Indians go abroad for higher studies?
I'm currently planning to complete my graduation and go abroad (and may be settle after higher studies). So I can give my opinion on why I want to leave India to settle abroad.
I'll begin with a small story of my life:

為何印度學(xué)生會(huì)遠(yuǎn)赴海外深造？
我目前正計(jì)劃完成我的學(xué)業(yè)后出國深造，并有可能在完成學(xué)業(yè)后定居海外。因此，我可以分享我為何想要離開印度，選擇在國外定居的原因。
讓我從我生活中的一個(gè)小故事開始說起：

*Flash back a few years: 6th standard*
"Hey that's amazing how did you make that," asked my friend (and my classmate), seeing a little fan in my hand that was connected to a switch. It was a simple electric circuit that connected a motor, a battery and a switch in series, but it was fascinating to him even though electric circuits were already introduced in the class. This was probably because no one, not even teachers ever cared to show us how it actually works. It was always mugging up the concepts and getting the marks. Students and the teachers alike believed in this philosophy. But for me? Those circuit components were what building blocks are for a kid. I would play with them whole day and ask my dad to buy more of such components. Each time he did, I used to be more excited than an Indian is before an India Pakistan cricket match. I remember making those infinite circuit designs that started with a single switch controlled fan and ended at 2 switch controlled moving car!
Now this passion for making and designing was not something new. It was always there. And it is still here at this very moment.

回憶幾年前，我還在上六年級(jí)時(shí)
“哇，這太神奇了，你是怎么做到的？”我的同學(xué)兼朋友問道。他看到我手里拿著一個(gè)連接著開關(guān)的小風(fēng)扇，感到非常驚奇。這其實(shí)是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的電路，將電機(jī)、電池和開關(guān)串聯(lián)起來，但對(duì)他來說卻非常吸引人。盡管課堂上已經(jīng)教授了電路知識(shí)，但可能因?yàn)閺奈从欣蠋熁蛲瑢W(xué)真正展示過它們的實(shí)際工作方式，所以這些電路對(duì)他來說仍然很神秘。一直以來，大家只關(guān)注于記憶概念和考試得分。但對(duì)我來說，那些電路組件就像是孩子們手中的積木。我會(huì)整天擺弄它們，還會(huì)讓父親給我買更多的電子組件。每次父親買回新的組件，我都會(huì)像印度人期待印巴板球比賽一樣興奮。我記得自己制作了無數(shù)的電路設(shè)計(jì)，從最初的單開關(guān)控制風(fēng)扇，到最后的雙開關(guān)控制的移動(dòng)汽車。
這種對(duì)制作和設(shè)計(jì)的熱愛，對(duì)我來說并不新鮮。直到此刻，它都一直伴隨著我。

Anyways, so "marks" that were the most important criteria to all, never made sense to me, nor did I ever care that much. I used to learn science concepts with utmost excitement only because I used to imagine different situations in which those could be used to make something exciting and fun.
But I used to score decently in exams. I was neither too bad nor too good at "studies"
*Flash forward 5 years: 11th standard*
It was all set. Unlike most other science students who wanted to be engineers by "parent's choice," I wanted to be one by my choice. So I took opted for the science stream. I heard for the first time about IITs and and other prestigious colleges and about how one needs to score in a test (IIT-JEE) and get a good rank to study from there. They called it (they still do) "cracking the IIT."
Test? Really? I always thought engineering was more of a practical thing and involved things like creative thinking and finding new ideas. But they would judge my capability on the basis of am exam that tested my capability to remember chemical equations, mathematical formulas and maybe a little of my capability of impromptu problem solving. I understand problem solving but if I want to be an electronics engineer, why the hell do you want to see my ability to mug up and apply chemical equations? Won't you instead check on my ability to understand electronics concepts and my ability to apply them. Won't you see my creativity and the practical projects I have made based on them? Aren't you at all interested in seeing my talent to create and make and design things?

然而，對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來說至關(guān)重要的“分?jǐn)?shù)”，對(duì)我來說，從未真正有意義，我也從未特別在意過。我之所以興奮地學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)概念，是因?yàn)槲铱偰芟胂蟪龈鞣N應(yīng)用這些概念來創(chuàng)造有趣事物的場(chǎng)景。
但我以前考試成績(jī)還不錯(cuò)。我在“學(xué)習(xí)”方面既不差也不太好。
快進(jìn)五年，我上十一年級(jí)時(shí)
一切似乎都已準(zhǔn)備就緒。與大多數(shù)因父母期望而想成為工程師的學(xué)生不同，我是出于自己的選擇。因此，我選擇了理科。那是我第一次聽說印度理工學(xué)院（IIT）和其他一些著名大學(xué)，以及如何通過一場(chǎng)考試（IIT-JEE）獲得高分和好名次來進(jìn)入這些學(xué)府。人們稱之為“攻克IIT”。
考試？用得著嗎？我一直以為工程學(xué)更多的是關(guān)于實(shí)踐，涉及創(chuàng)造性思維和尋找新點(diǎn)子。但他們卻要用一場(chǎng)考試來評(píng)判我的能力，這場(chǎng)考試測(cè)試的是我記憶化學(xué)方程式、數(shù)學(xué)公式的能力，也許還有我即興解決問題的能力。我理解解決問題的重要性，但如果我想成為一名電子工程師，為什么你要看我記憶化學(xué)方程式的能力？難道你不應(yīng)該更關(guān)心我理解電子概念的能力以及我應(yīng)用它們的能力嗎？難道你不想了解我的創(chuàng)造力，以及我基于這些概念完成的實(shí)踐項(xiàng)目嗎？難道你對(duì)我創(chuàng)造和設(shè)計(jì)事物的才能一點(diǎn)都不感興趣嗎？

I did not like their idea of this test and discussed it with my friends and family. "Its India," they said. "Here you are made an engineer and then you work like a donkey in an IT company where most of them do not want you to see your creative talent, they want your capability to work and work on what they, not what you want. So you must now be able to do the same- study what they want, how they want, not what you want," said my cousin brother. I was horrified at first but then I thought he must be kidding about the IT thing. After all, he might be saying so because he was placed in an IT firm.
Moreover, I had no choice and if I was going to be an engineer it had to be from an Institute that would impart me with best of knowledge. So I decided to give them what they wanted. I set my goal like others to "crack IIT" by studying hard. All my hobbies of creating new designs and my latest idea of making 'robots' was forgotten. I was there like everyone else, studying and mugging up and solving numericals. Two years passed by, two years of my life in which I had given my everything for clearing the exam.

我對(duì)這種考試的觀念并不認(rèn)同，并與我的朋友和家人討論了這個(gè)問題?！斑@就是印度，”他們說?！霸谶@里，你被塑造成一名工程師，然后在IT公司里像驢一樣工作，而這些公司大多不關(guān)心你的創(chuàng)造才能，他們只關(guān)心你的工作能力，按照他們的需求，而不是按照你的興趣去工作。所以現(xiàn)在你必須做同樣的事——學(xué)習(xí)他們想要的，按照他們的方式，而不是按照你的興趣去學(xué)習(xí)，”我的堂兄這樣告訴我。起初我感到震驚，但后來我覺得他可能在開玩笑，畢竟他可能因?yàn)樽约涸贗T公司的工作經(jīng)歷才這么說。
此外，我別無選擇，如果我想成為一名工程師，我必須來自一個(gè)能提供最優(yōu)質(zhì)知識(shí)的學(xué)院。所以我決定滿足他們的期望，像其他人一樣設(shè)定了“攻克IIT”的目標(biāo)，并通過努力學(xué)習(xí)來實(shí)現(xiàn)它。我放棄了所有創(chuàng)造新設(shè)計(jì)和制作機(jī)器人的愛好和想法。我和其他學(xué)生一樣，投入了所有時(shí)間來學(xué)習(xí)、記憶和解決數(shù)學(xué)問題。兩年時(shí)間就這樣過去了，我為了通過這場(chǎng)考試而傾盡全力。

Results:
IIT-JEE: Not qualified.
Damn! I was a little crushed but maybe it was not meant to be. Anyway, AIEEE, the next big exam was still pending.
AIEEE: Rank 46,569 out of more than 12,00,000 students (some say it was 13 lakh)
If you do the maths, I was among the top 4% of the students. Genius right? No! The good institutes demanded a rank less than 20,000. Be them the National Institute of Technologies or Delhi Technical University. For them I was stupid and not capable enough to study from their Institutes. 'Was I really?' I thought.
Anyways, a local university in Delhi was the last resort I had to stick with. (I cannot reveal the name, but if you are an engineer from Delhi like me, you know the name)

結(jié)果：
印度理工學(xué)院聯(lián)合入學(xué)考試（IIT-JEE）：未通過。
真是讓人沮喪！雖然有點(diǎn)失落，但也許這并非命中注定。無論如何，全印度工程學(xué)院入學(xué)考試（AIEEE）還在等著我。
AIEEE：在超過120萬考生中排名第46,569。
算下來，我是前4%的學(xué)生。聽起來很厲害，對(duì)吧？但好的學(xué)院要求排名在20,000名以內(nèi)。無論是國家技術(shù)學(xué)院還是德里科技大學(xué)，他們都認(rèn)為我不夠聰明，不配在他們的學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)。我不禁自問：“我真的不夠優(yōu)秀嗎？”
沒辦法，我只能選擇德里的一所本地大學(xué)作為最后的選擇。（我不便透露校名，但如果你是德里的工程師，可能知道是哪里）

*Flash forward: Now*
Now I am in the last year of my graduation, completely hating Indian education system not only because of the way they checked my capability of being an engineer but also because of the way these guys made me an "engineer."
In last 3 years of my engineering, every teacher who has entered the class room has started the lecture with the words "Now the next important topic that comes in your exams is this..." Every fucking thing revolves around exams, marks, bullshit! Nobody gives a fuck if students actually learn or understand concepts and create something from them. They do not want practical designs or projects. They want fucking copied assignments and marks! I'm doing research on an electronic device on my own because no professor has agreed to really help me! For them this is a "time waste"
Believe me, this was not the engineering I hoped for. Like my cousin said I am now placed in an IT frim because 'India is not for electronics engineers' and no electronics company came (nor would it be coming) for placements. If I do not get out of this hell hole made for me, they would make me work like a donkey. I would loose my passion and maybe the love of my life.

快進(jìn)到現(xiàn)在
現(xiàn)在，我即將大學(xué)畢業(yè)，我對(duì)印度的教育體系感到徹底失望。不僅因?yàn)樗鼈冊(cè)u(píng)定我作為工程師的能力的方式，更因?yàn)樗鼈儗⑽宜茉斐闪艘粋€(gè)“工程師”。
在我工程學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的最后三年里，每位走進(jìn)教室的老師都以“接下來是考試中的重要主題…”開始他們的講授。一切似乎都圍繞著考試和分?jǐn)?shù)轉(zhuǎn)，沒有人真正關(guān)心學(xué)生是否理解了概念，是否能基于這些概念創(chuàng)造出什么。他們不看重實(shí)踐設(shè)計(jì)或項(xiàng)目，只想要抄襲的作業(yè)和分?jǐn)?shù)！我正在自學(xué)研究一個(gè)電子設(shè)備，因?yàn)闆]有任何教授愿意真正幫助我。對(duì)他們來說，這簡(jiǎn)直是“浪費(fèi)時(shí)間”。
老實(shí)說，這不是我期望中的工程學(xué)教育。就像我堂兄說的，我現(xiàn)在被安排在一家IT公司工作，因?yàn)椤坝《炔贿m合電子工程師”，而且沒有電子公司來招聘。如果我不逃離這個(gè)為我準(zhǔn)備的地獄，他們就會(huì)讓我像驢一樣工作，我會(huì)失去我的熱情，甚至可能失去我生命中的摯愛。

I want to do masters in my field, but from India? Not again! I'm sorry India but I do not like your idea of engineering. I can see the same thing going all over again if I choose it. JEE would be replaced by the GATE exam and the same shit all over again.
Now the top most universities of the world do not work by the Indian ideology. They are not only concerned with my marks but also give an equal weightage to my projects and researches. They would be happy to let me study in their institute if I've score averagely in my B.Tech exams but I have done good research projects. They do not have any entrance exam like JEE or GATE with cut off ranks. They want creative and practical students. Their process is what I agree with. Their teaching methodology is not based not just exams but practical knowledge. They make engineers. I wish to be an engineer and I dont think India is making me one.

我想在我的領(lǐng)域繼續(xù)深造，但在印度？不再有可能了！我對(duì)印度的工程教育理念感到失望。如果再次選擇印度，我可以預(yù)見會(huì)重新開始同樣的循環(huán)。JEE會(huì)被GATE考試取代，會(huì)再次上演同樣的糟糕局面。
現(xiàn)在，世界上頂尖的大學(xué)并不遵循印度的教育思想。他們不僅關(guān)注我的分?jǐn)?shù)，還同等重視我的項(xiàng)目和研究。如果我在專業(yè)考試中表現(xiàn)平平，但有出色的研究項(xiàng)目，他們會(huì)歡迎我在他們的學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)。他們沒有像JEE或GATE那樣的入學(xué)考試和排名限制。他們想要的是富有創(chuàng)造力和實(shí)踐能力的學(xué)生。我認(rèn)同他們的選拔過程和教學(xué)方法，這不僅僅基于考試，而是基于實(shí)踐知識(shí)，他們培養(yǎng)的是真正的工程師。我渴望成為一名工程師，我不認(rèn)為印度的教育體系能讓我實(shí)現(xiàn)這一愿望。

So I want to go to a top university and be a real engineer. I want people to care for my talent and my creativity. If I work for a company, I want them to see my real potential, and allow me to make a difference. Although do not want to leave the country, I must if I want to give a meaning to my life.
Why do you think all great compnies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Qualcomm and even Quora are all American? Do Indians not have the talent to start such companies? Bullshit! We have the capability to create even better companies than these but maybe we never are given an opportunity to do so! Change the system and we would change the way world sees India. Jai Hind!

因此，我想去頂尖大學(xué)，成為真正的工程師。我希望人們能夠重視我的才能和創(chuàng)造力。如果為公司工作，我希望他們能看到我真正的潛力，并允許我做出改變。雖然我并不想離開我的國家，但如果我想賦予我的生命真正的意義，我必須這么做。
你認(rèn)為那些偉大的公司，如谷歌、Facebook、亞馬遜、高通甚至Quora都是美國的，是因?yàn)橛《热藳]有創(chuàng)辦類似公司的能力嗎？這是胡說！我們有能力創(chuàng)建比這些公司更好的公司，但也許我們從來沒有機(jī)會(huì)這樣做！如果我們改變教育體系，我們就能改變世界看待印度的方式。印度必勝！

Why do Indians go abroad for higher studies?
I have done my bachelor's in Audiology and Speech language pathology .. fascinating?? I did it from PGI,chd (top medical institute of India). For seeking admission in Masters program ,i gave entrance exam and stood second in rank.The candidate on 1st position has scored same marks as mine and the tie breaker was her experience of 1 year.I still cannot get admission due to only 1 seat in general category which was backed by the candidate on 1st rank. Also, there was 1 seat in Scheduled Caste(SC) category and no candidate from such category had given the entrance exam .So.I requested the dean of pgi to convert the SC category seat into general category for this year as mentioned about the possibility of conversion in the prospectus of the Msc(counselling and academic sessions).
But they denied my request stating that SC comission doesn't allow this conversion.

為什么印度學(xué)生選擇出國深造？
我在印度頂尖的醫(yī)學(xué)研究所昌迪加爾的研究生院（PGI,chd）完成了我的聽力學(xué)和語言病理學(xué)本科學(xué)位……這門學(xué)科非常吸引人。為了申請(qǐng)碩士課程，我參加了入學(xué)考試并名列第二。排名第一的考生分?jǐn)?shù)與我相同，但因?yàn)樗幸荒甑墓ぷ鹘?jīng)驗(yàn)，所以她成了第一名。由于普通類別的名額只有一個(gè)，被排名第一的考生占據(jù)，我無法獲得入學(xué)資格。此外，還有一個(gè)為預(yù)定種姓（SC）類別的名額，但沒有該類別的考生參加考試。因此，我請(qǐng)求PGI的院長(zhǎng)將這個(gè)SC類別的名額轉(zhuǎn)換為普通類別的名額，這是在碩士招生簡(jiǎn)章中提到的一個(gè)可能性。
但他們拒絕了我的請(qǐng)求，理由是SC委員會(huì)不允許進(jìn)行這種轉(zhuǎn)換操作。

Now here what really frustrates me is:
If the SC comission had denied the conversion,why they have mentioned in the prospectus?
N its the waste of my whole year.I have worked day and night for the entrance and the end result is wastage of the whole year.
Other students who scored less than me and were from OBC category are now enrolled in the masters program.
This is the reason why I m leaving this country and going to pursue my higher education in abroad.

這讓我非常沮喪：
如果SC委員會(huì)不同意轉(zhuǎn)換，為什么招生簡(jiǎn)章中要提到這個(gè)可能性？
這讓我一整年的努力都白費(fèi)了。我為了入學(xué)考試日夜苦讀，結(jié)果卻是一整年的時(shí)間都被浪費(fèi)了。
其他分?jǐn)?shù)比我低，屬于其他落后階層（OBC）的考生現(xiàn)在都已注冊(cè)進(jìn)入碩士課程。
這就是我決定離開印度，去國外繼續(xù)我的高等教育的原因。

Chetanya Kandhari
Why do Indians go abroad for higher studies?
Due to the great indian policy of “Reserved before Deserved”.
Even if the students work hard to study and score really well, they don’t get admission to the colleges they want and should get by merit.

為什么印度人要出國深造?
由于印度的“配額優(yōu)先于功績(jī)”政策，即使學(xué)生努力學(xué)習(xí)并取得優(yōu)異成績(jī)，也可能無法進(jìn)入他們應(yīng)得的大學(xué)。

Mansoor Khan
There are a large number of Indian students and other international students those who go abroad for their higher studies because of several benefits. These are :
Students get a chance to gain an international perspective on their major area of study. They are able to discover new academic interest, they can develop their confidence level and skills.
They are offered with amazing career opportunities.
Students get a chance to grow and develop personally.
