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.

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.

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.

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 Now India need not more iits. Ten are enough, the government Should focus on higher secondary education where the talents are made for iits & iims like institute. But now a days the govt. College's wings have broken, private sector is doing excellent job to produce talent. So, correction of secondary education system should be the primary demand.

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.

Hello friends,

First thing I wanna to say that a building can not build on the weak foundation, our government is spending lots of money every year for primary and secondary education system but the condition of primary schools are still miserable because of some.

Currupted politician, they divides the government funds among them. Our higher education system is one of the most renowned education system all over the world, every year we are producing hundreds of technical and management intellectuals. Increasing the no. Of IIT and IIMs is totally depends upon government policy whether government have enough found or not?

But there is a need to take special care of primary education system.

Hi friends, this is Thilagi. I would like to share my view about the impoverished conditions of the primary education setup in our home country. Primary education is the backbone for any developing democratic nation. India being an emerging economy in a global scene, IT should concentrate much on funding the primary schools. The building goes weak with dwindling base. Spending in infrastructure, best qualified skillful teachers, increasing the motivational level of the students by awareness program, transferring the funds for poorer economic background will make the India prosperous in future. The dream for 2020 become true only by research and invention which is possible only by strong base.

Instead of increasing the number of IITs and IIMs our government can take steps to increase the standard of other government colleges. Nowadays everybody wants to join either IIT or IIM or IISc or NIT because other institutions are not that good. If the government increases the numbers of premier institution, then the standard of these institutions will not be as good as it is instead the standard will be worse.

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.
