The chipmaker at the heart of the AI revolution may be the most influential stock in Wall Street history. Nvidia has been the primary driver of the market’s gains since the start of 2023.
ISRO’s LMV3 rocket set off the CMS-03 satellite from Sriharikota Sunday. It weighs 4,410 kg, will primarily serve Indian Navy and has a life of at least 15 years.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Good educational institutions are vital to any country’s progress but the government should force all these expensive schools to give scholarships to high-achieving children from deprived backgrounds.
Unfortunately, all these well educated young people do not want to go into politics in India. Until they do, the country will continue to be held back by semi-literate, petty minded politicians, obsessed with religion and ignorant about everything else.
It is true that we lack world class Universities but at the same time it can’t be ignored that these stars kids cannot intellectualy match an average Indian undergrad from top 20 Indian universities. They get into Ivy league Universities because it is much easier to get into a Ivy league University when you have a lot of resources at your disposal. These star kids always have an edge in their applications however dumb they may be. Ivy league universities are constantly on the lookout for kids with affluent backgrounds because for the university these kids will be future donors for the universities. Many top universities in the US have been time and again been accused of this biasness which gives preference to rich kids with poor SAT scores over students who are academically more meritorious than them. Many such examples can be cited where a person with a much lower IQ than a average undergrad was given admission because of donations or because of his probability of being a future donor. A prime example is Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Khushner who had very low SAT scores, very poor grades but he still made it to Harvard, thanks to his father’s real estate business.
As far as studying in a IIT or IIM is concerned, none of these star kids can make it to these institutions. These institutes admit students on the basis of intellectual merit irrespective of one’s family background. For getting into these institutions, one should be hardworking, focussed, dedicated and should possess a greater IQ than a average person. Many of these star kids lack all the abilities listed above or don’t bother to put in the efforts required.
I am yet to see a star kid make some valuable contribution to the acadmeia or carve a niche for himself/herself in the corporate sector without the support of his/her family. They have the resources but lack the talent to disrupt industries, spearhead a revolution in a area be it technology, medicine, finance etc. Despite having a world class education and huge sums of money such feats are a rarity from their side.

Whats the point in this article? Looks like more of an advertising campaign for those which are already elite rather than serving any social purpose.
