many ppl just type something from half analysis. there is no definite basis for comparing established institutions ... each will have their own strengths .. the legacy/donor enrollment in havard/mit is true .. same does not exist in iit which is also true... and nobody is idolising any university here... guys from both iits or mits have their strenghts from which many things can be learnt.
on the above article: yes that is a good perspective - we might not want "corruption catalysts" like funds or anything to come in the way of iits .. if corporates want to donate let them do .. not like mandatory funding which will obviously ask for atleast few reserved seats ...given the way things work in india, it is better that these instis are govt funded with donations from others.
