Statement: Should government established higher level Institutes of Technology (IIT's) be privatized?
Arguments:

- Yes. Privatization is the key of the new era - can we survive without it?
- No. Standard of education of these institutes will fall.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, privatization leads to betterment in a bid to win over the others in the field and earn both good reputation and money. So, argument I holds strong. Besides, privatization cannot be opted for just because it is the present trend. Also, privatization would, in no way, deteriorate the educational standards. So, neither II nor III holds.

I totally agree with Dinesh. In the US it is the greedy supporters of privatization who are trying to commandeer our government postal system with propaganda when it is an excellent, well-run system that is not intended to "make" money but rather provide a sustainable and reliable service.

The statement doesn't have any mention of financial troubles in government Aided institutions. In fact, option I is deregatory to all higher level institutions of govt.
We need not assume that if government Institutions in one area are bleeding, the same is true elsewhere.

Privatization makes the institutes greedy. As these are government aided institutions, they are funded by government and maintain a certain standard. There are also good resources offering a wide scope for R&D whereas we cannot expect the same in a private institution.

Privatization is not solution, privatization is also suffering from corruption. Privatization makes the iits less independent.
