Differences in Education System in India and Abroad

Bigger emphasis on self-exploration: In most of the developed countries, the education system is designed in such a way that motivate the students to self-explore. The students have far more freedom to choose the subjects and can also switch if they find some other subjects more interesting.

Frequent Tests: Unlike India, where 80 to 100% assessment of a student’s performance is decided through a single annual or semester test, assessment is done on the basis of several parameters in countries like USA and UK. A student is marked on several factors like assignments, class participation, group and individual projects, quizzes and tests.

Practical Exposure: A huge priority is given to practical learning in abroad education systems. Universities constantly conduct seminars, workshops and internship opportunities for students.

GPA in Place of Percentage:In most of the universities abroad, the grade system has replaced the percentage pattern followed in India. GPA is a better assessment of the student’s overall development.
