Entrance tests do not test the necessary skills for
creativity and innovation. To transform the generation to SMART, we must
educate younger generation on innovation driven economy. Paul Bottino of
Harvard says that today the real added value is what you can do with what you know. Further he says that the
complexity of most economic, environmental or social problems now require a
different kind of education. The kind of preparation students are getting is
very specialized but when they try to apply their knowledge into problem space,
they need to rethink and see much broadly. The higher education system
particularly management education must work towards competencies for applying
the knowledge, skills and attitude that are learnt. It should create more and
more opportunities for students to demonstrate them in real life scenario.
