Yes because there are limited opportunities.
Instead of spending money in creating more opportunities, government likes to spend money in forcing students to compete against each other for limited opportunities and this creates a dynamic where you neither trust others and are always eager to throw others under the bus including yourself.
Surprisingly, the parents of these students cheer these competition inducing practises to prove how their kid is better than other kids.
Instead India will benefit from opening centers where anyone can go and learn whatever skill they want to learn.
Anyone should be able to learn how to build a bridge then have his skills and knowledge tested when he actually wants to build bridge for other people.
But in India first you compete for learning how make bridge, then you compete for job then you compete to stay in job.
