How Indian Universities SCAM You (Business of Education) ft. Medha | Jist

In this episode of Baith Ke Baat, we look at how higher education in India has become a high-profit business. From entrance exams that push 97% students out to the unchecked growth of private universities, the episode traces how dreams turn into commodities. We break down the reality behind 100% placement claims, the employability crisis, faculty shortages, and India’s weak global university rankings. The conversation also examines how patents and research are often driven by rankings and marketing, enabled by gaps in oversight by UGC and AICTE. As glossy campuses replace classrooms and brochures replace accountability, many students are left with degrees but no skills. Drawing on reports like the Hays Salary Guide, this episode asks what students and parents must do when the system fails—and why choosing skills over promises is no longer optional. #UniversitiesReality #BusinessOfEducation #IndianEducationCrisis #PrivateUniversitiesIndia #EntranceExamTrap
