Chapter 310: Multiplication formula
There is a very famous local market called Sardar near the clock tower of Jodhadpur's iconic building, which has a wide variety of goods, all kinds of imaginable and unexpected things, and Shakru and Amisha, who have just come down from Merangar Fort, are hanging out here at this time.

"Brother Shakru, what is this?" Suddenly she picked up a strip of ore-like object and asked Shakru.
Shakru took it and played with it, then shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this." Then he asked the boss, "Boss, what is this thing for?" β
Seeing Shakru's outfit and temperament, the vendor knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he replied respectfully: "Sir, this is a kind of ore here here, I don't know the specific name, but the function is somewhat similar to chalk, and it is cheap enough to buy one for a few cents, so many children from poor families can't afford to buy paper and pencils, so they use this thing to write on the ground to practice." And this thing can still be eaten, and the taste is quite unique. As he spoke, he picked up one and put it in his mouth, and ate it like French fries.
Shakru curiously picked up a piece that looked fairly clean and took a bite, and then couldn't help but turn around and spit it out, and said a little depressedly: "Well, the taste is unique enough, but I really can't accept it." β
While he was talking, several elementary school students in school uniforms ran over and bought some of these strips of ore. Interestingly, in the blue city of Jodhapour, even the students' uniforms are sky blue.
Seeing that the little girls looked cute, Ah Misha casually gave them a few packs of beautifully packaged snacks she had just bought, and then asked casually, "You are still elementary school students, right?" Have you memorized all the multiplication formulas? β
The little girl replied sweetly: "I have memorized it for a long time, and now I am reciting the Nth power table of natural numbers." β
Hearing this answer, Shakru felt a little emotional, before the crossing, he had always thought that China's education was the most severe and difficult in the world, but after arriving in India, he found that in some aspects, especially mathematics, India's teaching is much more difficult than China's.
Take the multiplication formula that the little girl just said as an example, in China, everyone recites the ninety-nine multiplication table, but in India, the multiplication formula is 19*19, the difficulty and quantity of 9*9 and 19*19 are definitely not at the same level, and this is only part of the requirements of primary school mathematics, and what needs to be recited is the nth power table of natural numbers.
India's education department believes that if the majority of citizens can proficiently recite the 19 times 19 mantra and the nth power table of natural numbers, then everyone will be able to calculate much faster, and the whole country will develop faster, such as engineers can calculate faster, salespeople can make change faster, and so on.
Difficult homework can bring students a happy life, but it also causes them great psychological pressure. India's education ministry has made it mandatory for public school students to hug each other every morning when they enter school, but only between people of the same sex.
Despite the pressure on Indian students, there are still many children from poor families who are eager to go to school because the Indian government provides free lunches to every student. And only by going to school can you change your fate, otherwise you will only be able to beg and pick up garbage for a living in the future.
While Shakru was thinking nonsense, Amisa continued to ask, "Which school do you plan to go to in the future?" β
Several children said in unison, "iit"
The full name of IIT referred to by the children is IndianInstitute of Technology, which translates to Indian Institute of Technology, which is the best university in India, representing the top level of higher education in India.
IIT has a good rating in the West. Although it ranks low in the West due to its poor research, the engineers produced by IIT are actually famous all over the world. Among the PhDs in science and engineering at top universities in the United States, there are many Indian IITs, and the evaluation is very high. Moreover, since higher education in India started relatively early and is still taught in English, the brain outflow is also early. In Silicon Valley and other American tech companies, there are a lot of Indians, including at the top. In the United States, Asians earn more than whites on average, while Indians have the highest among Asians.
Although the children's wishes are good, Shakru feels that none of the children in front of him will not be able to pass the IIT. This is because the IIT has its own separate entrance examination (iit-jee) and is not in the general JAE system in India (there are multiple parallel examinations). Therefore, students who are interested in IIT have to go through the joint entrance examination, and then (it seems to be two months later) to take the IIT-JEE. Since the JEE curriculum is more in-depth than the JAE, the school will not learn all the knowledge that appears on the JEE. Therefore, cram schools in India are very famous. With the family economic level of these children who use strip ore to practice calligraphy, it is obviously difficult to send them to cram school.
The IIT-JEE exam is divided into two parts, the first JEE (Main) and the second JEE (Advanced), both of which are 3 hours long, and only three subjects are examined: Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, all of which are multiple-choice questions or answers with objective answers. The first test is eliminated, and the final result is only looked at the re-examination results, and the resulting score ranking is called "air" or "allindiarank". In 2011, 500,000 people took entrance exams. The last about 10,000 enrolled, with an acceptance rate of about 2%, was lower before the IIT expansion. Every year, the champion will be in the media. The level of mathematics in iit-jee should be higher than that of China. Including calculus, etc. Physics and chemistry are not clear to me.
Admission to IIT is based on test results only once. But there are protective places for specific castes and tribes. Since most of the better schools are English-speaking schools, you can choose either English or Hindi for the test papers. Due to the fierce competition, many children from middle-class or poorer families are enrolled in school, because people who grew up in wealthier families have a hard time meeting the level of effort required by the IIT. So in the end, there are often people who are not fluent in English after entering school (which is a sign of not having a good education in India).
After IIT admission, the department is also preferred based on the ranking of the entrance examination. Probably the most prestigious is the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Exams are more difficult after admission, and all exams are publicly ranked. This is also mentioned in The Three Fools. It is worth mentioning that the ratio of men to women in IIT is very large. There are a lot of jokes about this.
