Why don't they address problems in right way? First spring fans, then barricaded balconies, then coaching ban A lot of people benefit from coaching. The idea should focus on making the exams less cut throat

How do you make the exams less cut throat without affecting the quality of the intake? An exam is still a better way than profile filing and all those shenanigans. I learnt recently that girls were given a 20% reservation at IITs. That just puts the onus on smart ones to engage their brains by themselves as the exams/curriculum would never be as challenging. Problem is not the exams, but that clearing the exams are the only way to social mobility. That is hard to change.

This is just political marketing speech, nothing substantial would be done aleady the current setup not fair to lowest tier income households. How do they plan to filter 20k kids from 1million plus kids? Genuinely curious as people crib about IIM fees so hike won't be done on IIT Fees very unlikely.

Govt is going to take steps to ban these coaching centres. Affordability is not a factor here.

Uncademy the new Victim to BYJU’s

After fooling countless customers, investors, loan partners, byjus employees are now all set to destroy what little is left to Unacademy. Unacademy is now frantically hiring people from BYJUs across all levels and verticals. With BYJUs employees employment stood on the base of false promises and unethical sales, it is just a matter of time, Unacademy will become the new BYJUs. With the company’s product first approach and the apprehension towards aggressive selling, it is disheartening to see the new fondness towards BYJUs.

What are some of the mindless things that high funded startups do?

My first startup had a smoking zone where there was gramophone looking art piece where people used to dump their ashes. Later someone told me that it’s a Bluetooth speaker and no one cared to put it back after the party that happened two weeks back. That was true culture shock.
