IITs&IIMs: whose benefit?
by Bodh Ramdeo on Sep 12, 2007 10:52 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

So what if the rich gets their kids to these Universities(colleges in US) by paying a king's ransom - they're not called the "Ivy League" for nothing. There are thousands of other good, and some not so good, colleges, both state and private, available to the hoi polloi who are unable to make it to the Ivy Leagues.
The IITs and IIMs are different - they are the Ivy Leagues of the Indian universty scene, but they are govt owned and controlled (taxpayers monies run them) entry to them should be merit-based, not money. To each his own!
Comparing the privately-owned US Ivy League schools with its govt-owned Indian counterpart is like comparing apples to bananas. And what exactly is Rashmi's point??

Respected Sir

Please do not use the word idiot.No one knows everything.In independent country like our's every citizen has right to make his opinion.Please never use such words henceforth.After all only good discussion and contemplation of ideas will bring something useful.
