Many b-schools in India are tilting less toward business, management, and ethics; more toward finishing skills. With a strong (and often desperate) focus on placements, they go an extra mile to add superficiality to students. From a scary importance on cracking interviews, having a cocky attitude, and the ability to fib-on-the-fly. Unknowingly, they’re doing the students a great…

I’d read something brilliant somewhere (you’ve probably read it too), about children learning to ride a bike. If we adults were to learn to ride for the first time, we’d fall 2-3 times and most likely give up. But not kids.
