Marc Andreessen's Guide to College and Career Planning

I doubt that in all these years I have ever come across a more useful piece of writing to guide students on higher education choices, and skills development for a successful life than Marc Andreessen's Guide to Skills and Education (Part 2 of his guide to Career Planning). read more

Randy Pausch's Lecture

I came across this lecture by Randy Pausch and I found it very thought provoking and impressive.

Its about realising your childhood dreams and helping others do the same.

There was an article in new york times regarding it.

Bill Gates' Graduation Address at Harvard on June 7, 2007

Well, I know this is a forum for education in India, and the last such elog about a Commencement address at an American Univeristy had a place here because it was an Indian delivering the address (Narayana Murthy's address at NYU Stern), so why an elog about an American delivering a commencement address at an American University, you might ask.

See the videos in the related link or read the transcript of his address, and you'll know.

Now the only thing left to do is get hold of the book and read it and hope it's not just hype

3-year Bachelors, Liberal Arts and Graduate Admissions in the US

Yet another pro-India article written by an 'American of Indian origin' - this time fighting for the cause of the 3-year Bachelors' degree candidates from India applying for graduate programs in the US.

This is, in some ways related to the earlier discussion on the quality of Indian education - although this extends it to the undergraduate (what we call Bachelors) level. read more
