A significant numb...(i) Not all students go abroad. A significant number of IIT students do in fact stay in India. For example, many of them are hired by IT companies in India. I'll try getting and posting statistics from a reputable source to back my claim.<BR/><BR/>(ii) Also, I'd like to add that even if the IIT students stay back in India, there's no guarentee that they'll "help the country"<BR/><BR/>After all, was the infrastructure (technology,equipment,capital)or opportunity available 30 years ago in our country to achieve what many IITians achieved abroad?<BR/><BR/>If the aim of the IIT's are to be a center of excellence, then I think they should be well funded and completely autonomous.<BR/><BR/>IMO, fixing the mess that's Indian primary education is another issue.

During my recent trip around US, I met a horde of my classmates - from schhol days - none of whom are IITians. Point is, most people like to go where the moolah is. Till mid 90s, the bulk of opportunities came by way of the IITians. These days, its anyone and everyone who makes a beeline for jobs abroad.<BR/><BR/>As for spending on primary education, well, I couldnt agree more with you.Pratik .https://www.blogger.com/profile/16256614681825595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-13854136688365190922007-07-16T13:59:00.000+05:302007-07-16T13:59:00.000+05:30and i am asking you why waste 100 * 7 = 700cr... f...and i am asking you why waste 100 * 7 = 700cr... for somebody who will just migrate abroad the day he graduates... <BR/>just increase the fees and pay for the expenses.. and used the 700cr hence saved in increasing primary education.. i think the country will be much better of spending 700cr on primary education then on spending a few thousand students who never care about their countryunfuel the planethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713046310367914999noreply@blogger.com
