My suggestion is not to increase the no. of IITs but to raise the overall standard of education, right from the root. Provide infrastructure to all the engineering/medical colleges so that standard through out the country remains the same. Every one should be given opportunity to raise his level of education. We are seeing that the rich people can provide education to their children and get them trained for competitions from reputed Institutes and obiviously they will get through. The gist is that all this is being done for rich people. There should be one standard of education through out India and then say let them sit them in competition. This will be fair. So there is no need to increase the no. of IITs. In our country people are behind only making their sons/daughters engineers and doctors. They does not even think of other fields.
