There should be a purpose. Moreover soft skills are necessary. To achieve the purpose capabilities are needed. the purpose be society development or bridging the corporate world gap or just finding a job. I agree with Kapil. There should be a purpose.

Indian schools/colleges are getting there but the playing field has to be leveled. Right now the schools and colleges seem to be blindly aping the west in terms of practicing culture but fall short of encouraging creative/independent thinking.

But what about the "purpose"? The purpose - What to do in life? How you can contribute to the society? What's the purpose of studying and learning from an esteemed institute? I think it does not matter where you study, what actually matter, is to realize the purpose of your life especially with respect to society at large and how you can contribute to its development? And Indian education system is still missing this aspect, otherwise all silicon valley chaps would come back and start serving this nation or say take part in its development , not just by money but by actions? Whats the point of having great skills and analytical mind, if they are of no use in the development of a nation. If these skills are being used in getting huge salary packages, spending it in malls and disc and not contributing a single rupee for the development of any needy person then it is a real wastage of skills-no matter from where you have got it-IIM/IIT or any other institute?

Soft skills is an oft-skipped subject in most schools. There should be more emphasis on this thru the growing years. As for Anand's article, he is right in saying there is a big divide in the types of jobs a student can get into; but he is way off course in stating that IIT/IIMs are state of the art! Hardly baked article! Can’t agree more with you Sunder. Soft skills is an oft-skipped subject in most schools. There should be more emphasis on this thru the growing years.
