Yes....!! there were so many questions i had about the Indian education system after my Biochemistry viva on 18th march...... the external examiner , a simple but learned lady professor took the viva worth only 5 marks for about half hour.... Though i could answer most of her questions ..(say 75% of them...) ...for the rest 25% i felt like a such a looser....I thought -was my 95 in biotech in 12th standard really the mark i deserved .?? was it all because of my memorising abilities.....?? I still feel ashamed about the way i performed in viva....whole heartedly.....

....the biggest problem in indian system of education is the value given to "memorising"....u're a GOD if u write line by line of whats there in the "holy" textbook....yes, we are not encouraged to question..... "why are fructose and glucose reducing sugars but sucrose is not...?"...... is what my biochem examiner asked and i gave her a complete blank look thinking..."why did i never think about this...??"...
most of my classmates found the viva difficult because our teachers' methodologies are absolutely different..... its so shameful....that marks are the first priority and basic knowledge is not....memory is temporary ..but knowledge is permanent...!! it makes so much difference...

PS: I dont really care if the system of indian education changes or not.... but my way of learning will definitely change...!!
