Being a student myself, I can understand that the students all over India preparing for IIT-JEE/CAT must be elated that there are more IITs and IIMs coming up. But where is all this heading to? The 3 new IITs have nothing as of now but people are wild about it. This is just like adding water to milk to increase the volume of milk. From a different point of view, I feel that this is in some ways similar to the recenr Reliance IPO. Excites everybody only to pull the legacy of IIT terrifyingly down.
Perhaps India is the only country in the world which has so many institutes sharing the same name. 10 IITs, 10 IIMs, 18 NITs. All of them designed to meet the needs India had in the 70s. If nothing is done to stem this rot, 20 years from now, private institutions will own all the space in the hearts of aspiring engineers. IITs might then get a new full form – Institutes of Infinite Tension.
