The good thing about entrance (seemingly thought-provoking) exams is that , they used to concentrate on the real sciences/ social sciences . And used to test aptitude in these disciplines to ensure that people who pursue them have enough passion to go thru end. And they let leadership skills emerge after acquiring those analytical/ philosophical skills.

Rather than in the current education system where very very few people want to proceed working in these pure sciences and majority of them want to become leaders and thanks to Univs of US in which leaders are "annointed" by dishing out MBA's based on GMAT / CAT scores.
