the problem with indian system of college education is that , ur admission into an iit is totally dependent on the 3hrs of examination. Watever work u would have done earlier including some great extra-curricular activities like participating in NASA quizzes , social service is totally ignored....
ur life totally hinges on those 3 hrs....if u goof up on a couple of questions...boy,ur life is doomed....if ur lucky to have a dad with a lot of money to send u to a good coaching institute then nothing like it...just think abt pupils who r not fortunate enough to have money....and coupled with 50% reservation scheme makes it all the more impossible to get in.
anyways...selecting only 1000-2000 ( general category ) people out of a pool 300,000 is in itself a big joke.
