IIT is damn hard to get into. They have an 2% acceptance rate in certain programs. A lot of their grads end up working for large tech firms in the States or India and some start their own companies as well.

That site be slow, didn't see the video.

Sums up exactly what the video is about.

[mAdD INDIAN]

why are people quoting me?

Is this a new ATOT annoying fad that reduces this forum's value that much more?

 

[TallBill]

nevertheless, i'd not want to go there, or anywhere else overseas for that matter

Yes, IIT is a VERY good school... just like the "institute of technology" in a LOT of countries that fund their universities better than we do. A lot of the German technical schools are very good also. Their acceptance rates are VERY low because, with education being relatively cheap (in Germany, free tuition), all the people CAPABLE of going there apply. They, in that sense, get the cream of the crop from their country.... where the US tends to "spread around" its talent to lots of different schools.

I have had VERY positive experience with IIT graduates who have come to the US for a graduate education.... most are very sound in the fundamentals and are eager to learn.

Just to add to the "sound in their fundamentals" part: the students in india (I"m talking grade school...as in from gr.1 to gr.12) they are drilled fundamentals of math and siience in their head.

In chem, they have to memorize the ENTIRE periodic table. My mom still remembers the atomic number of various elements to this day and a few chemical compounds equations (and she hasn't touched chem for over 20 years). My friends in University who came from India have all these integration formulas memorized so Calc2 is a piece of cake for them. They had to do thousands of integration problems to prepare them for htier exams in India (I saw their notebook....damnnn).

And this doesn't go for Indians only, I've seen the Russian (I now refer them as the Crazy Russians ) students who have htem memorized as well as the Chinese ppl.

This is one reason why India is such a shithole now. All they learn is natural science. You can't stop breeding like rabbits and getting poorer and poorer if all you know is Dx = 0.5(gDt2). That makes for great human exports to the USA though.

Why are you trying so hard to be offensive?

I wasn't talking about memorization--that's relatively useless in engineering. I was talking engineering fundamentals--which are mostly problem solving techniques. IIT gets to pull the best (like the posters keep saying, 2%) from their country, and they educate them well. Of course, most countries BEST is good.... so this is no surprise.
