Academic need of the hour is for educational institutions to innovate, refocus, and restructure.

Theoretically focused learning, training the students to crack frequently asked questions, and method of learning by rote has created a pressure cooker environment for the young minds where they will blow off anytime. Students end up with a deadened sense of analytical thinking, creativity, and innovation, killing inquisitiveness, creativity, analytical thinking, and destroying the joy of learning.
