You are right Sir, Here is a larger view, You will never hear Americans (Bill Gates) saying that Chinese or Japanese software engineer are good.......... why only IITians.............Are nobody else in this world as hardworking and intelligent as them.................They are just inflating IITians all the time because a Japanese or Chinese would prefer to work for his/her country........For IITians, going to US and work there is a great achievement..................And America needs cheap labour to face competition. (Sorry not all,There are many IITians here and are making us proud). Yes,You are again right proper concern and attention should be given to other professions. I know only one thing that tag of an institution whether of IIT or anyother institution cannot take a person very further...It depends on the attitude and capabilities of the individual which differs......IITians thinking they are breed apart is just like fooling themselves..........We have more unsuccessful IITians than successful IITians (Accor. to their own defination of success)
IITians always say that it is a best institute of world.......... Fact is it is not............ If it is so,why don't they do their M.Tech and Phd here.
So improve the conditions of present IIT'S Give concern and attention towards other professions and primary school education. Or if possible keep IIT's for MTech and Phd's may be it can serve our country better and not merely be seen as human resource provider.
