This is Awesome!! “IITians have been involved in the creation of over 2 crore (20 million) new jobs.”
Why can’t India have more IIT’s ?
They planing to open one in Singapore? They can open few more in India as well!

Retard, he gave the source as a link at the last point.

How can you possibly say IITs are overhyped after reading this article? If at all, they’re way under-hyped with decreasing funding.

I really don’t understand the argument. Why is the # of IIT graduates as a percent of population to be preserved? What is the basis of this argument?
The need for IIT graduates has a direct relationship to the # of technology jobs, and market for new tech products.
Q (Food for thought for you): Do we really need more scooters because the population is growing?
Ans: It depends whether or not there is a market for scooters.

I completely disagree with “Sanjeev Kr Dangi” . Ask any of the IITians and you will get to know the true value of an IITian. This is not a place to vent your anger. Shame on people like you.

It is very disheartening to note that there is a shortage of dedicated faculty members in all the IITs now. It is the students and faculty members keep up the prestige of an Institution. IITs do get good students through stiff competition but how to get dedicated faculty?

We should not Increase the number of IIT and dilute their Standards.
RYK’s comment that over the years Population is increasing, so we should open more and more Regional Engineering Colleges. Their numbers can be proportional to population. No society needs lot of high-technology , researchers etc etc. There needs to be a Good Balance of IITs, Regional Engineering Colleges and ITI’s. Rather we need to give a lot more attention to ITI’s I read, FICCI member companies were adopting ITI’s in each ones local area to financially and technically support them and bring them to some Good Standards.

why would you say their is dilution? the no. of IIT graduates has been diminishing as a % of populations. Infact even if we add 10 IITs a year, we can’t match the growth in population.

I still think IITs are overhyped. It would be much better if anybody can show the whole report with full stats and data.
