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.
