In this conversation, Sarath Sanga explains how grade inflation at elite universities has led to a lack of meaningful differentiation among top students, inconsistent standards across departments, and intense pressure on faculty to award higher marks due to student evaluations and high tuition costs. The result? Compressed grades that make it harder for exceptional students to stand out, while paradoxically increasing student anxiety rather than supporting mental health.
