In this insightful episode of the Kintu Parantu Podcast, Karishma Attar, a seasoned education practitioner, delves deep into the fundamental issues plaguing India’s education system.
She highlights the growing gap between education and employability, particularly in engineering colleges, where the focus remains on passing competitive exams like NEET, JEE, and UPSC, leaving graduates underprepared for the workforce.
Karishma explains how this exam-centric system results in students lacking practical skills, and ultimately becoming unemployable, as additional training is often required post-graduation.

The conversation also provides a detailed comparison of Indian curricula like CBSE and ICSE with international standards such as the IB and Cambridge programs.
Karishma emphasizes the skill-focused approach of global education systems, which nurture entrepreneurship, creativity, and critical thinking rather than rote memorization.
She also sheds light on the current state of teacher training in India, revealing how insufficient training and outdated educational materials contribute to the poor quality of education.

As the discussion progresses, Karishma highlights the importance of global exposure for Indian students, arguing that international-mindedness is key to succeeding in today’s interconnected world.
Through personal anecdotes, she shares success stories of students who have thrived by following personalized education paths, making informed career decisions that align with their individual strengths and interests.

Karishma also discusses the challenges faced by women balancing career, family, and entrepreneurship, reflecting on her personal experiences in the education sector.
By looking toward the future, outlining how personalized learning, skill development, and access to global opportunities are essential to transforming India’s education system and empowering the next generation.
