go4sam · Post by **go4sam** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:56 pm

Hello All,

I am new to this forum and this forum is really great and helpful for making decisions to R2I, But I could not find some key information like differences between US and India education and benifits between them in one place.

Can you please point out pros/cons with each education system and also reasons why you want your child to enrol in either Indian or US system.

I dont know much differences but, Here are my 2 cents.

US System

Pros:

1) Independent Child
2) Extra circular activities
3) Very social
4) Good soft skills

Cons:

1) Not competetive, Challenging and Academic.
2) Might be infulenced by American culture

India

Pros:

1) Academic
2) Opportunity to get admission to Top Indian Institutes like IIT, IIM etc..

Cons:

1) Not sure about social/soft skills and being Independent
2) Limited Extra circular activities

Thanks in advance for all the replies.

I am in fence on regarding to R2I for providing education in India or US. If I need to return to India, I was thinking that by Age 8 is best time to leave US.

Regards
Sam

Check out the post and the thread in the above quote for one POV...

Also what you have stated in your OP is generally true for the majority of the local population in both countries.

NRIs don't fall in the "majority of the local pop" segment in either country.
