@awastea to shed some light,JEE usually filters for students who are quite smart but view studying as a grind. Most just want a job and don't care about the college experience. Compare that to American Unis, where they filter for people who are smart *and* passionate about what they do.

One of the big myths about Indians is that we value education. This is simply not true: no education of any kind is respected. IITs/IIMs/medical schools have a measure of prestige because of their students' salaries. The money is respected, the learning is irrelevant.
