i sincerely feel that adding more iits 2 the already existing plethora would deplete the standards the iits have reaped since decades.well,am a student of of an "NIT in SURATHKAL".i know how rich are the standards of students as well as staff in an rec/nit.our's being one of the top nits at present,still lacks that cutting edge quality in the staff.however,student quality's not 2 b blamed much 'coz u find substandard stuff out of a pretty ordinary exam,definitely.
upgradation of staff quality coupled with infrastructural amends should see the recs/nits 2 the iit levels.but i feel,this must b gradual with 1 iit at a time being announced.our's being the best nit will still need all the above changes and gradual n complete change 2 the iit level should take atleast about 6-7 years.the other institutes' plight is evident,ofcourse except a few like mnnit,calicut nit.
also,mere renaming will not help,unless standards are improved 2 world class levels as in present iits.
