College Students Face Unfair Conditions In India

Most students worry about getting into the college of their choice. But even the pickiest usually have several options to choose from. What if your options were next to nothing, and all your hard work in college meant nothing? This is what students in India must face.

It would seem a good time to be Kinjal Bhuptani. She is a college student studying business in the financial capital of one of hottest economies on earth.

But she has no illusions of sharing in India's newfound prosperity when she graduates from Hinduja College this spring. While others land $100,000-a- year jobs at Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, she is more likely to make $4 a day selling credit cards door to door.

Bhuptani's mistake, if you can call it that, was not getting into one of India's most elite universities, like the Indian Institutes of Management or Indian Institutes of Technology. Those who are admitted go on to enjoy handsome paychecks on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, and to steward some of the world's largest companies.


Woefully unfair. How would you deal with this? Would you seek an education in a different country, or fight the rigidity?
