College
About This Book
What can a student in India study after school today, and how well do those options fit the person who takes them? College starts from that question and asks how higher education can be shaped around an individual's particular talents while still meaning something to the wider world. Saikat Majumdar works through a series of connected puzzles. Is there such a thing as native intelligence, and what kind of education would bring it to life? How should the arts and the sciences, the qualitative and the quantitative, the theoretical and the experiential, relate to each other in a curriculum? Should a student dig deep into one discipline or build strength in several? And when employers hire, do they value depth or range more? The book offers accessible answers to these questions and speaks to a wide range of life aspirations, pointing students toward the possibilities in a higher education landscape that is changing fast around the world. It is written for current and future college students, their parents, educators, and anyone curious about what post-secondary education can offer in India since the turn of the millennium.
