No More IITs Petition - Comments 2500-2700

2503.S. Balakrishnan-USA
Please Invest in HITs, Don't Dilute IITs

2504.Deepak Pandey-USA
I am sure this campaign will be a success. I wish that our great leader give a little thinking with out thinking about politics

2507.Joseph-India
I accept the concept in the petition. So pls don't rename the colleges into IIT. Rather raise the standard of the other colleges into the standard of IIT's and make a way for competition.

2510.Subbu Mahadevan-USA
No university should be 'converted' overnight to an IIT. I think a process that clearly outlines minimum standards in several categories should be set and each potential candidate evaluated against it.

2511.havewala-India
How can you create 7 new IITs overnight?

2514.Gyan Prakash-INDIA
I support the fair motive behind the plea.

2521.Venkateswara Rao M-INDIA
I think this is a best sugestion

2526.Gaurav Singhal-USA
Instead of captilazing on IIT brand, we should be building institues of similar or
higher value under some other name.

2532.hemanth-india
it is disgusting to hear that a lot of colleges are given the status of an iiit

2535.Gaurav Sharma-India
Making a new brand altogether is a very good idea

2541.Sudhakar Rao-India
REC 's were renamed as NIT's.
Now NITs are going to be called IIT's..
Why nor rename all IIT's to MIT's next ?

2545.Arun kumar mishra-india
i think roorkee people should not be taken in this campaign because they are also converted. dont make ur campaign funny by including roorke.

2546.Arun K. Tangirala-India
I strongly agree with the views. Please do fund the universities but do not give them the brand name of IIT

2559.S.Koti-INDIA
Every Technical person wants to be an IIT'n but it may possible to him or may not. Incresing the no. of IIT's is not the better way .It may become dilute.The first and farmost idea of the starting the IIT's is to serve the Nation and to extract students talent from different parts of the country.

2562.Ankur Arora-india
IIT is a global brand.. Dont let the shine go of its brand image

2566.Amol Gharat-India
Giving the colleges the name of IIT wont improve them.

2570.K Ugendar-India
good suggession but providing fund to both HIT and IIT may not possible for GOI If it is possible for the all IIT alumni to provide funding by one way or other way to their respective IITs then it is easy for the GOI to create healthy competition between IITs and HITs

2583.Raghu-USA
Better spend some money on improving the infrastucture of of the counntry, then doing the renaming process. In few years new govt will come, and will want to name IIT as MIT... Name does not matter , quality doe

2589.Rosemary Fernandes-USA
Dear PM, What has made an impact on the world is the quality of the IIT students. It has taken over 50 years for IIT's to get the recognition they get now. Do not take it away from them by lowering their standard in the eyes of the world. By renaming existing universities that are not in the same cadre you run the risk of losing all that IITians have established. You will lose the value of IIT and it will be very difficult to find the true IITian amoungst others .. just as it would be hard to find a true diamond if all white stones were called diamonds. Create another system of universities and let them all prove and find their worth. You will surely lose the value of IIT brand in the eyes of the world if other universities are given the same name without years of acid tests. It will look like a quick cheap bandage in the eyes of the world. Everyone stands to lose.

2590.Diwakar-USA
It is common understanding that some of the colleges that are being considered for renaming to IITs had very non-transparent and non-standard admission procedures in the past, that were often abused.
Alumni of the old college should ideally continue to receive copies of degree certificates, transcripts, etc., under the name of the old college, and not HIT.

2592.Pratyush Tiwari-India
Please maintain the standard of IITs, by not making them accessible to everyone, as other REC, and Engineering institues do exists for everyone let the stidents compete in a fair manner and only the best get selected to the Niche institutes.

2595.Vivek Katiyar-USA
The competition with IIT's idea is excellent

2597.Padmanava Debnath-India
It is imperative to uphold, respect & maintain the sanctity of the existing IITs. The whole concept of brilliance would get diluted if every other college is tagged as an IIT. The concept of HITs and competition between the two breeds is a great idea.

2601.Avay Kumar-India
The bad effect will be seen after 8 years. They have already down graded IITs with lower standard in JEE.

2602.Peri-India
It is time the govt builds an alternate to the IITs. That way we would have more choice and competition

2603.Prasanta Behera-India-IIT Kharagpur,Mechanical Engg, 1998
Please do not dilute the Brand IIT, it has taken India a long time and lot of hard work to build this brand.

2605.Debasish Chatterjee-India
I support this petition

2609.Chandra Manglani-India
We must plan for more engineering institutes of world-class standard, but they cannot be brought up to the mark by just tagging them as an IIT. This would need a sustained period of commitment, both academic and financial.
Declaring 10 more IITs might generate short-term political mileage, but this would run the huge risk of eroding the value established by the IIT brand-name.

2611.Bipulendu Haldar(B.TECH,1998,IIT-KGP)
India The Brand IIT should not be diluted.

2616.Parth Shah-India
A brillient suggestion!

2621.Shailesh Arya-India
Colleges should create their own brand like BITS instead of using other collesge's brand to improve

2622.Atul Kharabe-India
I support the plea to preserve the IIT brand and maintain the high standards associated with it.

2624.Ranjan Sen-UK
As a concerned citizen I say Create new institutions of excellence but leave alone what is good and does not need to be tampered with.

2625.Sudhir Kumar Pidugu-India-B.Tech (IIT-KGP) 1998
The brand IIT should not only be saved from being diluted but it also must be vigorously protected. Companies, training institutes like NIIT shouldnt be allowed to steal the hard earned name and reputation of IITs.

2628.VENKATA S MEENAKSHI-INDIA
HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL DECISION-MODERN APPROACH TO GLOBALISATION-PRESERVING NATION, BRAND NAME AND PREVILAGE

2630.Mohd Muzammil Ansari-Singapore-
Please do the needful

2637.shailendra nath agarwal-india
why use iit brand. the purpose can be served even if the standard is upgraded. you may like to emulate MIT USA which is higher brand.Leave iit brand alone. you may open new iits ofcourse or may increase the intake but upgradation to iit does not make sense.

2647.Pradeep Srivastava-Canada
No comversions to IITs of existing institutes Can make 2-3 new IITs DO not make a large number and DILUTE quality

2649.Lavneet Janagal-India
if more students are selected for such instt. as IITs the level of students will surely come down and more people will start accumulating in non-medical side only and no one to do other vital jobs!

2655.Mrinal Virnave-USA
It does make economic sense to preserve the IIT brand
3 lines of comments does not give me enough space to explain

2656.Indra Singh Rouriya-India these r the best institutes and it will not be a good decision of changing IITs to more IITs like institutes

2657.Abhimanu Kumar-India
A very good move and this should spread worldwide

2668.Sravanth Aluru-India
This is certainly not a sensible idea. Quality i thought was more important than Quantity.

2670.Himanshu Kapoor-USA
I completely agree with the view mentioned here. Let us not dilute the hard work of 50 years.

2676.Sandeep Thakran-USA
I strongly stand behind NOT diluting the IIT brand Name GOI should create institute of technology by every state just like in United States and every institute will earn its pride through GOI support GOI should work on building new association by linking regional colleges to foriegn institute especially in this globalization era where India will be at the forefront

2679.Venkatakrishnan Panrutti-India
I strongly disagree with such a movement. IIT is an institution I revere.

2681.Anurag Srivastava-USA
I fully support this. This will only dilute the IIT brand name.

2688.Ani Kumar Gupta-USA-IIT Roorkee,2004
I stronly disagree with the proposal of dilluting the brand name of IIT

2689.Samresh Kumar Verma-USA
Mr Prime Minister and Mr. HRD Minister, Don't make a hasty decision. It's not worth. IITs have a prestigious name in the world, just don't do it.

2695.Rajeev Goel-India
Govt colleges should not be converted to IIT's, if required Govt to develop new Institutes as IIT ground up

2696.Gautam Khanna-India
We need to save the IIT brand from getting diluted to the point where it stops getting the respect it commands.

2697.Harvinder Singh-India
It makes no sense to dilute the brand after spending so much money to create it, moreover there is no gain that I can see.
