Are competitive exams like GRE, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL etc an invitation to Brain Drain?

  ...your argument assumes that the 'brains' that chose to go out of India are the only ones who could have contributed to India's development. The culture of 'patriotism' and 'serving the nation' is deliberately not cultivated at least in countries like India.
  
  The problem of development of any country cannot be attributed to the people who go out of country; but the performance of those who work in their own country.

  Ahh no you got me wrong. I am not saying that those who go out are the only brainy ones but brain drain is still an issue. We all know of the education system here. Then if someone goes out and gets much better education then why not come back and contribute here

  This was the topic for my GD
  anyway ,If I say as an Indian, brain drain is a serious issue. But personally people who go to studies abroad get used to that environment, culture etc. They get a comfortable dust free environment and started liking that place.
  
  Secondly, the society.
  If a person finished his studies in abroad , returns to India ... He/ She will be framed as such... Since he/she dint get job over there, that's why returned to India.

  Have you seen how the country treats those who choose to go into the organised sector in India?
  
  If India wanted to prevent brain drain, they would treat the salaried and entrepreneur classes a bit better
  
  Yet, all they are used as is for funding populist schemes while being given nothing in return

  To an extent, this is kinda brain drain, if people study there and get employed there! One thing is, we can get more opportunities to explore in the field of education and moreover, industry ready! The best example would be MIT, having their own licence of Internet Software.
  
  We have a bunch of IITs in India and does even one have their own licence? Any outcome of it? We are using jQuery almost daily worldwide. And Microsoft has also included it in their latest versions of Visual Studio! This is licensed under MIT Licence! Why not IITs could do something related? This is the reason India is bad in Academics.
  
  Once an Indian gets educated out of India and comes here to start a business, yeah, it will not be a brain drain and it would be an addition to the Indian Industry... 😀 So, I guess, as said in 3 Idiots, if the Indian Education System gets matured, there won't be any brain drain and it would be great to have research oriented studies here... 😀
  
  Makes sense??? 😀
