I am studying in an "engineering" "college" of India. ("top" college by Indian norms, but not IIT[1]). And I totally understand this.

The mentality of 'gaming the system' is deep rooted in education system here, probably because education is so rote-oriented, mechanical and namesake.

[1] I would have difficulty believing current generation of IIT students would be any good either. These days the entrance process for IITs has become pretty game-able and people with money and time do that.
