With cut offs shooting through the roof, we ask whether marks do actually ensure success in life? Is our education system warped? Do parents also play a crucial role in increasing the pressure on students? Finally, can there be a 'cut off' for finding one's true calling in life? For all this and more, watch this episode of The Big Fight with Dr Annie Koshi, Principal, St. Mary's School; Prof. Dinesh Singh, Former Vice Chancellor, Delhi University; Vineet Gupta, Founder and Trustee Ashoka University; Sanil Sachar Author; Suhel Seth, Managing Partner, Counselage; Biswapati Sarkar, Executive Creative Director, The Viral Fever and Ms. Anu Aga, Chairperson, Thermax Foundation.
