The IITs are called as glorified engineering colleges by the UGC Chairman.while it may be true,one has to remember the fact that it was the policy of government that made them into what they are today.
The way forward is very simple and IITs have started doing it already. As fmr president of united states Mr.clinton would have said "it is the research,stupid". True to this,there is a silent change happening at IITs, with research slowly getting the much deserved center stage as it should have ,years ago. It will take time before the results start to show, but the first step has been taken in the right direction. So may be it is time for others to leave IITs alone instead of carrying out propoganda exercises of what went wrong,which are invariably done with the aim of seeking publicity
