Hi friends this is Sidhartha. I think government should give more importance primary education. Because if our base is not so strong them we could nt get stable. Because of poor primary education so many talented students couldnt further improving. So govt should try to improve that as well as they should also think about secondary education. Both are related to each other. India is a developing country. So to make it developed country education standard should be increasing.

In my opinion number of IIT and IIM shouldn't increase. Government should concentrate on the improvement of Primary/secondary level education. Because if our base is not strong then how our building would be strong. If our primary/secondary level education are not up to mark then students can't put themselves according to the level of IIT and IIM.

If government want to do at higher education level. It can improve other colleges and make them in the category of iim and iit.

I have seen all opinion. Only one thing I want to say. Why not we concern on both means government should open IITs and IIMs as well as central university. Primary and government school also because in IITs and IIms seats are very limited due 2 this lots of students are not getting chance to take admission on this. And they finally always chose better private colleges. And day by day they are increasing fee structure. So government need to do work on this parallelly.

No, the government should not open more IITs. Even the old IITs are still not well-established, they don't have proper facilities then how can be think of more IITs?

Opening IIT cost government Around 200 crore if this money is used in improving the quality of old IITs or in primary and secondary education much more can be achieved.

Also opening of new IITs by the govt. Instead of not much success by old IITs opening is just a way to increase their vote bank.

First of all we have to look into the conditions of the new IIT and IIM which opened few years back. Most of them have not even moved to a permanent campuses. Considering about the faculty, these colleges are lacking a good faculty as compared to the older ones. As compared to the new IIMs I think IIT is in better position. So instead of opening new colleges we can do few things in old colleges like starting classes in two shift and increase batch strength.

No. I think improving primary and secondary education would be better. IITS and IIMS are premier institutes and I feel maybe increasing a few seats in the present institutions would be better rather than setting up altogether new institutions. The money could be spent to improve schooling of children to make them equipped to get a seat into these institutions. I feel we should consider removing reservations from IITS so that only the best can get there.

One thing I will like to mention here that if there is no proper primary and secondary education, then it might be the case that some students miss out on the opportunity of getting selected in IIMs and IITs. So the government should spend more on primary and secondary education.

Other thing is that even if they do not make it to IITs or IIMs they can still life in which they are not fooled by others. They can understand the situation better.

In my point of view govt. Should concren on primary education rather than establishing more IITS &IIMS. Since many children are not getting basic knowledge yet. It means one side government promoting higher education but on other hand many people are still uneducated. SO IT Would not be whole development of our countrY. In present 15 IITS are enough and if govt. Opens more IITS & IIMS than there should be proper management and faculty.

According to my opinion today India needs a boost in its primary education rather than opening new IITs and IIMs.

Without watering the roots, you can't expect a good fruit. So only concentrating on the higher education will lead to the development and advancement of certain age group and that to for a certain period. But if we enhance our Primary education system we would be able to build up a strong educated foundation for Indian youths.

Increase in IITs and IIMs means, once again government is going to spend money on manufacturing a new one rather than renovating the old IITs and IIMs. Instead of this they should spend money on improving the quality faculty members and providing better instruments and jobs for practical. As we know IITs are not only known for their name and fame but also for their work, better quality should be maintained not the increase in quantity.
