IITs have become victims of rote learning: Infosys Co-founder Murthy

Infosys Co-founder Narayana Murthy has said that IITs have become victims of "rote learning", the memorisation of things based on repetition. "Thanks to the tyranny of coaching classes," he added. Murthy said that students should be able to relate what they learn in the classroom to the real world around them rather than passing examinations by rote learning.
