IITs are great, some IITans also, but let us not forget, a lot of very bright guys do not get a chance to take the IIT coaching classes and thus do not make it to IITs. And also IITan does not necessarily imply perfect. an Example, I see in the pan-IIT meaating home page, the world is spinning in the wrong direction. Did you guys study geography in primary school, or just prepared for JEE? I say teach practical stuff in the general Engineering colleges, teach well, and make them undestand and think. India needs to improve all education, enginners are bad, doctors are bad, teachers are bad, programmers are bad, workmanship is bad, it is shocking how imperfectionists we are, more of a bragger. Can't design an electrical plugpoint that fits well. Websites are terribly designed and hardly work. Just imagine if these IT experts had to design a passenger plane.
We really need to improve instead of bragging about how smart we are. If you are smart why don't I see 100s of new inventions or even significantly improved products coming from a billion people?
