If we go by majority, you are right. Most of the english medium educated children are better in english than those from the vernacular. This is because, the english medium students are more exposed to english than their vernacular counterparts. On continuous exposure, the students takes the subject as one takes his/her mothertongue. Moreover, the language of communication in an english medium school is deemed to be english thereby benefitting the students to learn better.
But in vernacular schools, respective mothertongues are used to clearify the subject of english too. Therefore, what they learn is a mixture of both english and their mothertongue or hindi. But there are exceptions too. Some of the students have come up with better skills in english than those of english medium schools.

Yes they ideally should be , Tho it would depend upon the environment in which they live majorly i.e is it english or vernacular speaking .. to my mind today worls values english more (rightly or wrongly) . Normally if you think about it you think in one language then translate the final output to whichever language you use so you do more work /thinking .So its better you are educated in the language you will use most in your public life ( apart from family ) because we are talking about a public perception here that matters i.e your bosses opinion.

Basically english medium students are better as they are trained with good english language.They are taught in that medium,speak and write basically in english.The students from vernacular maybe poor in speech but may do better in written skills.

It is obvious that students in English mediums school are more fluent in English. However, they may not be better if they cannot write correctly.
Students from vernacular may not be so fluent in speaking in English, but they may be better in writing correctly in comparison to the English medium ones. To be a better student one has to have a vision to progress. He should be dedicated, committed, sincere, involved and laborious.

Most of the times it is true,as english medium students always talk in english ..they are habituated from childhood of saying english,though their written power is not so great but their spoken english is far better than vernacular,except some cases.Main fact is if some one is forced in to a medium be it english or non english he will catch up that slowly,so if a vernacular student will be put into an environment where english talking is compulsory ..he/she also can catch up slowly .

Yes, those who are educated through English medium would surely have more acquittance with English than those coming from the vernacular medium. however this does not draw a the conclusion that those from vernacular medium would not be good in English in the long run. I can cite an example of myself. i studied up to class ten in vernacular medium but now I write better that those oriented through English medium. This is a matter of interest and commitment. Medium of education can not stop a bright flower from blooming.
