I wonder if we can bring in a radical shift like this as well. It would mean a completely different trajectory for Indiaalways remember Sputnik compelled the americans to take education matters seriously and they brought NATIONAL DEFENCE EDUCATION ACT OF 1958 to heavily fund various education programs; those SAT and all are outcome of this, the old era "textbook" based classroom teaching was thrown to dustbin (means state stopped compelling students to follow only some books mostly states printed ones as 'textbooks' and gave them freedom to educate themselves using any source material - one prime reason there was a boom of various publishers coming out and printing lots of books written by actual field experts on vast diverse topics and subjects), teachers were given retraining and schools were funded to expand their capabilities;
and in a decade of time results of this were already showing when their tech started surpassing that of Soviets' as these freshly educated flock of young, talented people started appearing.
