dood first of all there is no harm in praising and saying all good words for the only little good things we possess.secondly the analogy which you gave is wrong since the average intelligence level of USA is one of the least in the world thts why they could not realise the importance of the such kinda universities.neways thr is no doubt that in India IIT's IIM's are the best..do you by any chance know tht at the undergraduate level IIT JEE is the toughest exam in the whole world to clear and in tech field IIT as a whole stand 3rd in the world...surely you might not be reading the magazines also neways this clearly justifies tht the intake of these prime institutions is not poor i guess.. you satisfied with this or you need some more thrashing
