I feel it is a bold step Dr.Joshi has taken to increase the number of IITs.Since a large number of technically brilliant students are deprieved from getting access to IITs Because of just scoring one marks less.By addition of five more IITs atleast we can able to give justice to few more.For a country like India ,having population more than one billion,there should be more colleges to the standard of IIT.We can avoid brain-drain also by the addition of IIT.
