sadly, it is my opinion that the aviation sector has not evolved.
there can be no comparison of the many brilliant engineers and managers the country produces, with that of the flying community and aviation sector.

Aviation sector has following entry barriers:

Pilots
1. Need to have lots of money to begin with.
2. Need to have contacts in the industry to get a job.
3. Its hard to replace an incumbant

Mechanics:
1. Must be willing to work for near zero wages during internship.
2. Limited opportunities for quality on-job-learning.

ATC:
1. Must have a B Engg in Electric
2. AAI is the sole employer and trainer
3. AAI has no hire and fire policy


On the other hand only thing required to getting into IIM (Top B School) or IIT (Top Engg School) is hard work and intellect.

Amidst all the bribe and nepotism prevalent in country its hard to believe that entry into an IIT or IIM is fair.
