NO, there is not necessary to increse the iits,recently, politicians entered in to the educations thats why the position occurs,imsted of increasing iit's,why don't to increase the facilities in all universities,
more IITS ! ya we definately require it if we want to
improve technology level of the country . and obviously instead of making new iits we should upgrade nits so that the students studying there also get proper facilities n it will be more easier for govt also to do the saame .
IITs are facing scarcity of 'quality' profs and staff which should be an important thing tobe addressed. So there should be no question to have more IITs. This is how they sell values. I thought it was a cloister..then they branded it. Guys do you understand the difference between IIT stamp and IIT brand. Harvard, MIT still maintain their stamps. IIT is going to be just another brand of tea bag which these people are going to dip into their morning breaks. So be aware and watch their game.
It seems really very deplorable on the part of certain contributors to this message board that they are unaware of the history behind the very creation of IITs. When Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru first visualised the idea of a premier technical institution under the name of Indian Insitute of Technology, the very first college he selected for this for University of Roorkee. However, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, pleaded him not ot do so since Roorkee was the only jewel-in-the-crwon of India and UP was proud to own it. It was then that Pt. Nehru had to look for other options. The ONLY thing missing with University of Roorkee vis-a-vis IITs was the brand name, to which it was a moral and rightful contestant. It is infact a matter of pride for the existing IITs to have the first technical institute of Asia established way back in 1847 in their family.
