What I think is, primary education is the back bone of education system.

And funds should be given to construct more primary schools for providing the basic level education. The village people should be able to give their signature rather giving the finger prints and understand what is written there in legal court papers before signing in it. So rather constructing more iit/iim govt should provide primary education.

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.

I think government is taking proper measures in the field of education by opening new IITs and IIMs.Establishment of these new colleges will hamper the quality of students in the country and develop the nation as a whole.But government should also improve and invest a greater sum of nation's GDP for primary and secondary education.After all our country is still facing the problem of illiteracy in many parts.

In my opinion, they should open more IITs and IIMs because every year around 14 lakhs students applies for 20, 000 seats. The proportion of seats to the number of applicants is too small. Opening up more IITs and IIMs will also reduce the number of students applying to foreign universities for admitting. It will reduce the burden of large fees which the students are forced to pay in foreign universities.

I would like to say that government should allocate fund in such a way that the states already having a higher rate of primary and secondary education should be selected to set up IITs and IIMs and on the other hand States having lesser rate of literacy must be funded with money to start schools to provide primary education. Kerala is the state having highest rate of literacy and is still lacking an IIT.

I think there should be increase in IIT's and IIM's because ther are only 7 or 8 IIT's or IIM's running in India. So there will be the reduction of many diplomat in both these top institution. Increasing of these will result in many diplomat and the standard of the student will also increase. Since our student don't have much stuff in education increasing of these will result in tremendous improvement.

Lets ask ourself one question why are we prefering iit or iims? it is because of the the quality education, placements they offer. It is the quality and brand name that is attracting us. I feel there are enough colleges in our country and now lets focus on the quatity of educatn and not on quantity.

One most imp thing is Primary education is very very important and more money should be spent on them.

Hi in my view preference of iit, s/iim, s is better than to give the preference of primary education, because it is the basic of each and every person or a child. After the completion of our primary education we will be eligible to the iit/iim. If there is no quality in primary education we cannot produce a better educated person. So, first preference will be given to primary education than iit/iim.

Primary education should be given more importance as we are missing lots of smart brain who all my contribute a lot to development only due to lack of proper primary education. If we don't concentrate on primary education out IIT'S and IIM'S seats will not be filled in years coming. So sit before extending the legs. Spend on the base and later we will have a strong building as well in future.

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.
