No More IITs Petition - Comments 600-800

610.Robert Nathan-USA
This would be a terrible thing for this intellectual PM, who we hold in high esteem, to be remembered for. It is a bad idea to "hand out" the IIT brand to subpar engineering institutions that do not have high caliber, IIT grade faculty and research infrastructure. The Govt. should upgrade the quality of the new institutes to the level of the IITs before calling them IITs.

623.Shaurabh Bharti-India
This is definitely the best Idea to save the brand image of IITs

632.Dr.N.Subramanian-U.S.A.-Ph.D.,IIT-M,1978
If you start more IITs, the good name all the present IITs have got will be spoiled- Just like the degree B.E. Now there is no charm in telling that I am an Engineer, since every other guy is an Engineer

634.Nipun Agarwal-USA
IITs have achieved so much in last 50 years for the nation. The reason being their independent governance free from political armtwisting. Please create a healthy educational environment but not at the cost of the IIT heritage

637.gajendra-india
Please dont ruin what we have just bc'oz you want to please some of the states and their parties

641.Mukesh Sundaram-USA
The IIT brand has come about because of the caliber of the alumni (which reflects the intake process AND the pull of the existing IITs themselves). Renaming an REC to an IIT does not do justice to the International brand unless standards at the institutions being absorbed into the fold are equal or better than those of the original IITs.

654.gaurav sriavstava-india
had just renaming helped in the way the government plans !! we should better start the experiment by renaming patna to mumbai , delhi , bangalore or any thing to change its fortune.. !! its not important for a college to be named IIT , its is important for the college to reach the standards of iit before we decide to impart on it the IIT status..

673.Sarath Devarajan-USA
Please don't tamper with the IIT brand name. Many people all over the world have immense regard for IITians. We're proud of being IITians and are strongly against others snatching the brand name overnight.

676.Dr C V Ramamohan-India
Let us create another set of high quality and institutes of excellence. Let not IIT brand be franchised.

681.Reynold Rajamani-India
The government must resist the temptation to interfere with the system of higher education. Bureaucratic controls have only resulted in corruption. Today the going rate in Tamil Nadu are as follows- Engg College - Rs 60 Lacs, Science College - Rs 25 lacs, BEd College - Rs 45 Lacs Let the govt release the Istitutions to determine their own systems and the competion will decide the merit.

682.Ashish Kumar Saxena-India
No more IITs, please. As such quality of Engineers are going down

686.Pankaj Rajput-India
The petition is backed by a good reson and logical corroboration.. It should be considered by ministry of human resourses developement..

someone has correctly said, "80% of success is showing off".. it's damn true.. and we iitians do need this brand name, which adds to our value.. let the name of those, who worked hard to write the name of IITs with successful words in the world development, continue doing their work... let these standards not fall down..

714.arun kumar reddy-india
the IITs certainly loose the brand name..if this is done so..

716.Hitesh-INDIA
IIT's are nation's pride and its everones responsibility to preserve its name.

717.Chidambaram Raghavan-USA
Do you see the US opening half a dozen MIT's ?You can only have a few Institutes of Excellence. Do not make everything mediocre.

718.NAGARAJU VEMURI-India
I DO AGREE WITH THE POINTS MADE IN THIS PETITION. HOPE THE GOVERNMENT MAKES THE RIGHT DECISION.

719.Anup Kumar Chakravarty-India
I suppose Govt should first try to fully able to support the existing 7 IITs. Creating more IITs will not only degrade the Quality of Students coming out of the Institutes but also have bad effect on research going in these Institutes.

736.Manoj-India
Yes, its no ones right to dilute the Brand name created in 50 long years...please save IIT and try to create another better than IITs, then it can be said in true sense, A Sincere Effort.

739.Vani-India
Engineering is not mere mugging up things. Studying at IITs means more than Engineering. It paves a path for the overall development of the student studying at IIT. Please do not make IIT Brand Name a political game.

752.Priyank Shukla-India
Yes, I agree that India needs many engineers of highest caliber, but, as management principle goes, merely giving brand name doesn't sell, unless the product is good; giving 7 more colleges IIT brand wont solve purpose in long term. Instead we should develop more brands.

754.Ambuj Trivedi-India
Please refrain from interfering into one of the rarest fair institution in INDIA. Please keep it away from politics. renaming any college doesn't upgrade its level. If can't improve education level then atleast don't downgrade this level for already established landmarks.

Politics has taken india nowhere, if cant do for the nation then please don't interfere with others who are really serving for nation's upliftment.

759.Nishank Rajvanshi-India
Its the students which make the Institution great not the name. If the naming alone would have changed the fortunes then more than half of the world would have been USA by today. Why dont you change the name of the country to US?

I think it will solve all the woes of this country, the poverty , the unemployement , and all the other sufferings. But you know this wont help. The best strategy is to believe in yourself and use your resources to the utmost extent. Please sir, come up with some better policy to enhance the education system of this country.

761.Naveen Kundra-India
Please Don't let politics come in the way of higher education.

782.Babu Mailachalam-USA
I support this petition. I also feel that there is no need for the new Institute to have any links with IIT. The name can be preferably in English, rather than Hindi, like Advanced Technological Institute or something like that.

785.Pushpesh Kr.Rajwanshi-India
If all are super heroes then no one is... similarly if all are IITs then no ones :-)

787.Syed Atif Hussain-India
Brand duplication is impossible; we should create New Brands

792.Sagnik Pal-INDIA
It took 50 years of hardwork and dedication.Please don't ruin it.

795.Hari Prasath-India
As a student of the prestigious institution ,I cannot emphasize how important it is to protect the brand name of IIT.It is more appropriate to name the newly established colleges as "National Institute of Technology" and let the colleges build reputation in the long run.

799.Chintamani K-India
I would say there is much work required in IITs themselves, people with power invariably misuse it, work on it first and then getting other IITs, and try to remove discrimination in IITs by professors and everyone else against B.Tech's.

800.shailesh singh-india
i think what u r saying is right i support this view
