Think the SAT or ACT was hard? Then imagine what it's like to get into college in India. That country's huge young population, coupled with very limited spots in colleges, means that the competition to get into college is intense. Students have to take a series of tests spread out over a month (a month!) and score higher than 90 or 92 in some cases in order to be gain college admission. The result is stress, anxiety, and a lot of after school tuition and studying, as the article and this excellent video illustrate.
