India produces 400,000 engineering graduates a year (five times as many as the United States) and a stunning 2.5 million university graduates overall. Yet only about a quarter of India's college graduates are up to snuff.

Does that mean India has the equivalent of the DeVry Institute or University of Phoenix?

There seems to be a lot of hand-wringing over the fact that other countries like India appear to be producing far more engineering graduates than the United States.

The fact remains however that the United States is still the only country where there is a culture of risking failure in order to succeed wildly. That is why nearly all the innovations continue to happen here. In fact, you can bet that the top engineers from India will eventually show up in the U.S. working for Google, Apple, Boeing or Intel, etc.

In other countries, people are generally raised to obey authority and are adverse to taking risk or pushing the envelope. They play it safe.

It’s my understanding that in India, a good college has 1 about textbook for every 20 students. It’s amazing what they accomplish given the adversity they face.

Somebody once told me that Indian engineers are very good at answering ABC or D but rarely are taught to think outside the box and to make up an answer for E that would correct but unique.
