Most of the indian education system works on the concept of how much you can mug up rather than how much you understand.

Much of the stuff they teach is useless and in impracticle.

e.g. Students of 12th commerce are being taught an entire book on procedures of physical handling of shares and physical shares procedures even though we are in demat age.

And the funny thing is that the book itself mentions that demat has been in existence since 1996 and therefore all the stuff that is being taught is useless.
