IITs are too expensive to run as well as they have a purpose to serve. If all good things are had in plenty, there would not be any good things left, a la the private engineering colleges , private medical college etc etc.The proliferation of improperly educated masses does not serve any purpose ecxcept dilute the quality of education and downgradation of the IITs!!! Our rulers shoud not shoot their mouths in such matters without weighing the real dangers ( which last more than the five year tenure of an elected people's rep. BEWARE of Sloganeering and the POOR tax payers' money.
I do believe that there should be more IITians but not IIT colleges. First of all who will give this assurance that if REC gets converted into IIT, they maintain the same standard as IIT. Beacz now-a-days large no. of engineering colleges are opening providing no proper faculty and labs. The competition for getting entry in such colleges becomes so easy that even students do not want to struggle to take admission in good colleges. They also choose to enter in such colleges rather than wasting years to get admission in institutes like IIT. Many of them have opinion that lets take the bachelor degree from any college and then they do their Masters from IIT. I think this attitude will never leads to maitnain the level of IIT. One who really knows the value of IIT only such students can compete to enter in IIT. So its better to increase few seats of existing IITs instead of converting REC into IIT.
if iit's help in development of states of india, then they should be opened but if they are opened just for the sake of opening then some individuality and staus should be mantained.
India,with such a vast population wud always welcome such proposals to raise the standards of degrading education culture in india...but we cant just implement propsals just for the sake of doing something....i hereby make an earnest request to the minisry of HRD to be totally unbiased in choosing the institutes for upgradation....
only those colleges which can fulfill certain requirements and which has all the credentials to be upgraded shud only be converted into IITs....cos IIT is not just an institute,its India's pride....so doing anything that brings ill-repute to ur pride is no less than a serious felony....only those colleges who have been outstanding record and have brought glory to india shud be upgraded..we need to forget all those regional basis...
yaa surely we needs more IITs in our country.our country is full of genius brains and only few lucky guys/gals are studing in IITs.For the development of our country and manpower we must have to create more IITs. i`m a student of NATIONAL INSTITUE OF TECHNOLOGY TIRUCHIRAPPALI.we have all facilites that IITs student are geting but we don`t know why our college in not upgraded as a IIT status.
