Should the Government Set-up More IITs and IIMs, OR should it be use the Money for Primary & Secondary Education?

You know what, when you are at door step of the MNCs for job, your IIT/IIM knowledge will help you to crack it. It will take too much time to change the system right from the root. So if we have little sense then we should start it from reverse. From the last level of education. So that we can produce more intelligent people. Then they will automatically help the nation by making their children smarter. Apart from that, till primary I would say that no SERIOUS education required. "just play my child it is your right age. Don't run for rank now." so just basic knowledge will be enough. And the right time to shine is in the IIT/IIM. They will make you knowledgeable.

As per my suggestion, IITs and IIMs must be increased because they produce qualified youth who in turn will help our country. Private colleges are increasing at a rapid rate where education level is deplorable. Today the competition has increased a lot but due to the lack of seats and foundation of time i.e. age, students ultimately choose private colleges. This spoils their career and brings down the quality of engineers and MBAs produced in the country. Therefore for a developing country like India it is the need of the hour. If the point of good lecturers arises, then if good colleges are more, obviously they will give good teachers to the country.

Hi friends. I am Prathmesh.

According to my point of view, instead of developing IIT'S/IIM'S in not important nowadays. We are thinking to be developed nation so we have to do our base strong and by developing primary and secondary education our base will become strong and on the basis of this strong base one can shine in IIT OR IIMS or else one can be grow up be a good businessman or anything else. I think government Spend money to standarderisation of govt schools insted of developing IIT'S and IIM'S. We the people of India think for a strong base in our house building then why shoudnt we think a strong base for nation building.

Thank you.

We all know the pathetic conditions of many children who are struggling with their life and finally are left illiterate. There are lakhs of students who don't get proper education, in many parts of the country there is no sign of educational institute. A tree will stand firmly if its branches are strong enough, so government should first make ensure that every child in this country is getting his primary education. They should first invest money on development of schools in many areas, IITs and IIMs can later be cumulated but before that we should invest more money in the educational purpose of all children who are forbidden from schools.

The government should have taken this initiative in the 90's, when the population of India was increasing, I mean, the population of young work force. Now it does not hold any significance. The reason for increasing the IIT/IIM in numbers is that general category people are not satisfied with the limited options of the seats with the current numbers. But people have forgotten that the number of applicants have risen and thereby, the competition has increased. This is the real problem. If anything, the basic education must be made better. It is better to teach kids skills, so that they can plan to earn by the time they are 15 years old.

As IIT's and IIM's are premier institutes in india, number of them should always remain limited to maintain standard. And government should concentrate towards primary and secondary education. Because if we will be sucsessful making education system strong on core lewel automatically standardds for IIT's IIM will increase.

And government should think on making layer of secondary universities as per the standard of IIT's and IIM's. By this we will be able to provide higher education to as many qualified students as we can and at the same time we can maintain the world class standard of our IIT's and IIM's.

Yes, the government aid for IIT and IIM must be said, if, people are using this subsidized education for their own selfish growth. After all, IIT/IIM were set up by the government to make Indian government and public institutions function better, which in turn would have made Indian society strong.

But at present, the mere interest of IIT/IIM are to increase the rates in marriage market and enjoy the life of luxury by clearing exam, that too, getting trained at the public expense. This is nothing, but creation of a class who are exploiting the resources of the state. This is not how democracy functions.

I think the govt needs to set up more IIT's and IIM's because in the primary and secondary education, there will be a limit for the syllabus and no practical applications are required that are meant to reach the countries growth. But this is not the case in IIT's. It is the place where India's talented people come out and they will be recruited if they have skills. So improving IIT's will be much beneficial. Other than spending money for primary and secondary education which has just basics. Everything depends on the student's interest. It's their choice which makes them strong even at their basics.

Hi this is Samyuktha.

In my point of view, firstly, the government sector should develop the primary education and secondary education sector by spending more money on it.

I think by increasing the IITs and IIMs institutions would help for the people who are studying on interest in higher studies.

It will also helpful for the poor and middle-class people.

Firstly, the government should have to maintain the proper faculty and strict rules to run these institutions.

So, I conclude that the government should have to maintain the proper amount of money in these education sectors.

Hello everyone.

We as the citizens of developing country should give importance to both these sectors of education. Most of the percentage of the people of our nation are in between the age group of 18-30. What they need is the useful and best education to attain which IIT's and IIM's play very important role and to fulfill the educational needs of present grown up children establishment of new primary schools is also important. What I feel is that if we establish these by proper utilization of funds at proper places and maintain them properly, we can reach our goal successfully.
