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

Hi friends, this is Nikhil. I think opening new iits and iims is very stupid idea. The government in most cases, opens new iits and iims to increase their credibility among students fraternity. The fact tells us that nearly half of the students studying in iits are joining mainstream core engineering. So, here iits is just a means for them, to secure their future. Many are not happy with their streams.

So, instead of opening new iits and iims, government should increase the standard of old iits and iims. We stand nowhere in terms of quality education in the world.

According to my point of view Government should more focuses on primary education. we can say that primary education is a root of tree. if a tree's root will not strong how will it grow. Elementary education should be given the highest priority because this is the children’s stepping-stone for them to pursue higher goals. If they are able to undergo their elementary education, there will have a great probability that they will continue up to high school or even a higher degree. Remember that your journey to a thousand miles can begin with your first step.

Hello friends, this is himanshu & I think the government must increase the number of iits and iims as nowadays the number of students are nearly 4-5 times as compared to previous ten years. So obviously the talented students also increased but some of them not qualify the exam as seats are less and take admission in other college which are not giving any exposure as compared to iit and iim. The number must increase as the ratio increases. Otherwise we can loose some talent required for our country and even world. So the government must increase the no.

Today in our developing economy government is making such good efforts by coming up with the IIT and IIMs, yes its a good sector where government is investing because a job oriented education is needed, to participate in the development process but the no.of institution should be increased to reach all the areas and sections of country. If we talk about primary and secondary education then yes government need to invest more in this sector of education because this education will prepare students to go for the further skill related education.

Hello! This is MOHIT SALECHA, & I think that government should use money on the primary & secondary education as it is the base of any person, without base how anyone think to build the building. If the base is weak the full structure will not grow in the proper manner.

If the person is not able to qualify the entrance test of IIT's or IIM's then what is the meaning of establishing them, they are just useless for everyone, no one can get benefit by that.

So, instead of moving forward government also see what they leave behind.

A good primary education is very important for building the whole career of any person. In early age of any person it is easy to enhance his/her interest in a particular area or subject. If the person has not taken a good primary education it may change his/her whole life it may also happen that he/she is not able to even participate in the entrance examination of the top level institutes like IITs or IIMs. If we analyse the present situation of primary or secondary education in India we can say that there is a firm need to assist it.

I think, the government should focus more on improving primary education. Few years back, 8 new IITs were established. We need to ensure whether the existing IITs have proper infrastructure, good teachers, sophisticated lab and research facilities. We need to make sure that the quality of students graduating from these new IITs is at par with those from older ones. Research should encouraged by allocating funds. If we set up more IITs and ignore the quality of older ones, it will lead to degradation of the brand.

Hello friends, I am Tavleen ans my view:

I believe that primary and secondary education is far more important than IIT's and IIM's because they are the foundation of the education system. If the mortar used for the foundation of the building is not firm the building will one day or the other will definitely collapse. So first we need to make that foundation of our education system firm and strong. Then only the engineers and doctors will be formed and then we can have tremendous amount of IIT's and IIM's.

According to my view seates should be increased, because in order to get a seat in IIT, there is only two chance. And students loss their seat because of even 1 or 2 marks. It is also necessary to make primary school very tridious because they are the base. But if we talk about today education, there are many institute opened to provide entrance exam education. So seates should be increased. So that students who are so intelligent and bring our India still develop to developed. They should be provided.

I think that Government should be more concerned towards Primary Education, because India's Literacy rate is not good. Moreover, primary education is the child's first step towards education, he is not directly admitted into IIT's or IIM's by his birth. There are many children in Villages who are not getting proper education and this is the reason why we are still counted in developing Countries.
A good primary Education is more important for building the whole career of a Person.
