There are some smart Indians that come out of the Indian educational system, but not that many. China puts out a lot more brilliant people than India does.

The Indian system results in a huge waste of effort.

My former roommate, who was at a so so university (Mississippi or something) spoke of studying for 16 hours a day in highschool/college time frame.

He didn't appear to have known more at that level than I, who went to an atrocious highschool. He did have the disadvantage of not having any computer use in college (or before).

Still, I can't see any purpose for the studying that he did (same as what I hear from a lot of eastern countries though).

I believe that he had a Masters from one of the best Indian universities and had top scores as well.

Was a bright guy though, definitely better than many of the other guys going to third tier universities.
