Dear Deepa, Yes,I totally agree that just changing name of an institution from REC to IIT will not serve any purpose.Instead the present conditions and infrastructure of REC'S should be improved to fill in the gap between the two.
But I am totally not in favour of your other part of the comments: You are judging others on there capabilities too much. Can't a person from REC be a good or excellent engineer.It doesn't mean a person who is not in IIT can never be a good engineer.The point is the IITians only get a good platform to start their career which a person from REC is sometimes not able to get .But after that it is the attitude and thinking that matters the most to be a success rather than how good you operate computer or other skills .To be a success you need more than just skills.So please don't judge others too much.Good people will always go high whether they are from IIT or REC.If I may add around 2000 people graduate from IIT every year not all of them end up doing great.It depends on individual.
