it will the biggest mistake commited in the history of INDIAN education.Even though it is true that some students miss the chance to study in these premiere institutes,you can not demand for increse in their no.it will only result in degradation of their high standard.The genious brains are developed only because of the intense competitions these institutes demand .and for those who fail to get through it ,NITs are always there.So in order to give more chance to students having caliber,government should think of improving standard of NITs and not increasing no. of IITs.
