Adaptability of Indian Students

Are Indian students able to adapt well and fast enough to the essay and self study system prevalent in the UK?
I assume you are Indian?
What sujects are you studying? Do you not have to write any essays at all for your subjects?
At university the onus is on you to watch lectures, attend seminars and labs where applicable (online or in person), and read around your subject. Science subjects still require essay writing and dissertations.

University lecturers don't teach you the way teachers at school do. They give you the basics and it is up to you to fill the gaps. It isn't like learning by rote. They don't chase you for work. You lose marks by handing in work late, and you don't get any reminders.

You are treated like and adult and are expected to behave like an adult.
