Good morning, Sweetzz🤗. I hope you are doing well. I see that you are disturbed by this.
But, my dear, what does a person's educational qualifications, place of education or socio-economic status have to do with integrity, strength of character, sensitivity and humility? If somebody graduates from a prestigious institution, all we can say about that person is they are probably hard working, cut throat workers, competetive and perseverant. A good institution or education would give you tools to build character, right, that itself doesn't guarantee a strength in character.
Not to go too much into the deep end, I have seen our Indian educational system ( peripherally ) and very closely involved with adult education in this country. I am not sure if premier management institutions such as IIM have behavioral interviewing before entry into their institution or not. I am not going to be dogmatic and say that UG and graduate education is the greatest in the US, but will say that some of their methods in the selection process do deserve applause and attention. In disciplines that matter, there is intense scrutiny of behaviors, attitude, dogmas, humility, team work, authenticity and the likes. Because, without the above qualities, if somebody just graduates from a prestigious institute it does no good to anybody, to the people or profession they serve or to the society at large. Initially, when I came to this country, I didn't like this subjective component in the selection process, but now I vouch for it. People with the highest scores get weeded out if they don't make the cut in the behavioral process and the selectors are brutal about it. I am not saying there are no loopholes in this, but at least there is a little more understanding of what happens to that person as they graduate out. There are still highly shrewd people who can get through even this rigorous process. Sorry, for the long discourse, early in AM😃
