No More IITs Petition - Comments 4000 to 4500

4016. Vinay Kumar India
Great Move on the part of all IITians to save the brand name earned at the cost of exceptional intellect,unmatched hardwork and farsighted vision on the part of both the students and faculty members of the five IITs over the part five decades. The GOI can't afford to dilute the value of the brand just for their political gimmicks.The suggestion in the petition is one of the most optimised solution and should be thought sincerely by the GOI.

4018. Tonmoy Shankar Mukherjee India
Save our Alma Mater from degradation of Value

4019. Neeraj Pahuja India
Establishing a brand name takes years of hard work. Lets not dillute it. Let the other colleges come on their on rather than taking unfair advantage of someone else name

Its important to save IIT brand name, which has brought so much of IT into India

4155. Ismail Sait India
I agree, let us not be responsible for diluting one of mother India's BEST efforts. When something works well, do not disturb ! Instead, based on this experience, work on creating fresh, better models

4160. Jyoti Prasad Chakraborty India
I want quota system in higher education to be abolished permanently

4161. Devika Garg India
We are strictly against any sort of such arbitrary step to be taken by the govt which will only mar the education quality at the seats of excellence.

4166. Lava India
As the country developes the reservations should go down, reservations should be restricted to primary and secondary level of education only. By rising reservations do not pull down the reputation and standards of world famous institutions.

4168. Satya V. Gupta USA
With the increased tax revenue being generated as a result of the booming Indian economy, the Government should concentrate on creating NEW engineering and management colleges thereby producing many times more engineers and managers than trying to increase quotas in EXISTING colleges and choking the supply of excellent engineers and managers that the IITs' and IIMs' produce today.

4172. Krishna Chaitanya India
Let us give importance to merit rather than to reservation If you give IIT JEE and then study in IIT then you will understand why IITians say that reservation should not be in IIT System Only potential candidates sustain in IIT System if you want backward classes to get into IIT make them potential first

4176. Govinda Gupta India
Let IIT produce only the best.....no compromise It will spoil IIT' s standard and value of IIT in the eyes on industrielaists Cases of suicide and frustration will also increase with increasing no of reservations

4177. nikhil rasiwasia india
call me whenever needed, if the cause is IIT I shall be there.

4180. Gopal Tejwani USA
IIT's have shown that merit is the only way to succeed and build up the brand name. Do not kill it!

4182. Akhilesh Singh India
IIT is truely Temple of India, Its brand of modern india. Do not play with it. Thank you.

4194. Latha Chandradeep India
As a nation we should replicate the success of IITs across the country; not try and leech on it. It will be the case of the hen that laid golden eggs. We should be careful not to kill it.

4199. Abhishek Garg India
Please save India by avoiding the implementation of "reservations". That would only encourage poorer "feel satisfied by being poor", as it eases his brain muscles.

4200. Narayanan.K India
Not every sardarji can be manmohan singh or montek singh. So let IITs beITs and rest be rest IIT's contributio to India's progress in the last 50 years is undisputed. Why dilute it? We just can't live on the brand name of IIT for ever. Someother brand is also required to add synergy

4208. Sunil USA
Please do not dilute the IIT brand which is proud for all Indians We are proud to be IITians and would request to preserve the PRIDE(s) of INDIA IIT is a legend and phenomena and IITians produly say "We are from India, the land of Taj Mahal & IITs", kindly consider building a new brand which we all Indians can be proud of. Jai Hind, Jai IITs

4213. Shankar Kari India
Only Merit, Only Competition for IIT, No Reservation Quotas please

4230. Yugandhar India
IIT's are know for merti and not for reservations.Pls Dont spoil the Brand name.

4238. Aarthi Tagore USA
Please let IIT's IIM's maintain its standards as exceptional educational institutions and admission must solely be on merit

4239. M.LAKSHMINARAYANA india
If a person not having talent to go to IIT,why should we provide reservation to him

4243. Mamata S.M, India
Please stop providing Reservations.It is now 58 years since we got independence and now it is time to get rid of all the reservations, these reservations are hindrance for the development of our country.Let hard working, intelligent students get the best.

4244. Pushkar Lanke, India
Please dont let quality of education in india go down by reservations

4245. Srikanth VKV, India
People - Try to get some more effective solutions to tackle the problem

4250. Srinivas Racha Konda ,India
IITs are a brand. They brought glory to India. Do not destroy

4252. Jagdish Kalyan, USA
By just putting a new logo and a sign on anything does not change the quality of that entity. Please, do not just add more colleges with the same name. Instead, work on creating a baseline standard and let them compete with IITs. Let them find out if they can beat them. Like anything else, let there be a fair competition and let the market forces dictate the outcome. Clothing a sheep in a tiger's skin does not make it a tiger!!!

4259- Narayanan.K, India
Why create more IITs to dilute them with reservation and other narrow minded policies!
Quality should be the criteria and not Quantity.

4268. Mandip Singh, India
TOTALLY AGREE.NO MORE IITS

4270. A Gupta, USA
Giving IIT status to EXISTING colleges creates a huge problem of fraudulent representation, in addition to severely diluting standards. For example, even though Roorkee was accorded IIT status in 2001, even prior graduates from Roorkee university now claim to be IIT graduates (and there are many of them, since Roorkee has been around a long time). In fact, their alumni association actually released an ad in TOI saying that they were "the oldest IIT in India"!! So don't do it, AT ALL - don't destroy the one global brand we have, by including other existing colleges under the IIT name. If more IITs are needed, then create new ones, with the requisite infrastructure and standards.

4274. Niranjan Bhat, India
I fully endorse the plea to preserve the IIT Brand. I would like to continue to proclaim that I am proud to be an IITian.

4278. Srinivas Rachakonda, India
I am against any form of Reservations. Let everyone have the pride to earn their place. Improve Primary & Secondary education

4279. Vivek Kumar Agarwal, India
Prestigious institures like IITs who have earned fame world wide in many years should be kept away from the dirty politics.

4282. N.A Gandhi, India
I vehemently support the petition

4285. Bhagavathi Venkateswarlu Dasigi, Kuwait
Let's not waste energies in spoiling some thing acclaimed to be great!

4286.Satyajit Roy, IIT Kanpur , USA
Let us not dilute the IIT world-brand

4318.Shuddhashil Dey, Australia
Please do not dilute the IIT Brand

4322.Vikram Murthy, India
Preserve the good quality of a brand that has been built over years with special emphasis on quality of teaching staff and facilities . Brand has retained value due to autonomy in selection of students ands governance

4331, Mahesh Choudhury, USA
I fully agree with the petition. We should preserve the brand and create competitive institutes
The name IIT has its own unique signature across the global community
Other day I met someone at MIT and introduced as from IIT. The treatment I received was beyond my expectation. Let us not dilute the quality

4339. Yateendra, India
No reservation in education sector

4342,K.Pavan Kumar, India
I sincerely agree to the view point of the petetioners that the names could be changed to HITs

4344,vikas vaishnav, India
please think for healthy future not for politics. avoid hastly decisions

4349.Chandra K. Jain, USA
Exceelent petition. This is done quite well. It is very true; every effort must be put in to stop this action which will damage the hard earned, unique and un parallel quality and reputation of the 5 original IIT's in the last 45-50 years. Thanks a lot for doing this. Chandrakumar Jain

4350. Manoj K Rawat, Canada
Renaming more Schools as IIT is like more MITs or Harvard. GOI and all stake holders should invest more in existing IITs to be the best in world. Create second brand name as a follow up

4351. Shabbir Dattu, United Arab Emirates
Please refrain from destroying the brand value of IITs. No more IITs ever

4352, Amit Narayan Gupta, India
Why gov is putting its leg in IIT, first they introduced reservation now this

4360.MD Menon, India
Powers-that-be must realise that by re-naming senior scientists as Dr CNR Rao#1,2,3 etc, does not make them intellectually equal or achievers! Respect them for what they are and encourage each one to shine & exceed achievements of renowned scientists

Let each established Institution at "Roorkey" "Jadavpur" "Gorakhpur" "Suratkal" "Jabalpur" etc have its own identity ..pl dont insult them by calling them second grade and changing their name to mask their failures usually caused by politicians/politically motivated psuedo-educationists & bureaucrats

Provide resources to such institutions and appoint visionary educationists as their heads tasked to transform them to worldclass, instead of appointing politically convenient pliable incompetent ones.as reward for their personal loyalties to political bigwigs

4364. Ravindra Mathur, India
Roorkee was as well regarded as the IITs. It should not have been renamed IIT. Guahati could have been called by some other name

4372.Sridhar Anand, USA
I am not opposed to building world class educational instituations, but the ones that are built should speak for themselves rather than IIT brand name being attached to them. Sridhar (BTech, IIT Kanpur, 2000 batch

4373.Rajesh , USA B Tech 2000
This step will hamper the exclusiveness of brand IIT. The other colleges should be encouraged to compete with the IITs by providing sufficient funding and resources rather than just bestowing them with the tag.

4376. Pankaj Trivedi, USA
There is one thing in India which works well and recognized world over. Why do you want to ruin it ? Please think about country than your own political interests for at least this cause

4380.Dr. R. Ray Gehani, India, Japan, USA
India has gone through the long Dark Ages of Invasions and Imperialism which destroyed the institutions for building human talent. IITs, with the help of world partners established a world-class merit-based oasis in the ocean of nepotism based corruption

Get inspired and create more comparable, and even better institutions. Don't just leach onto IITians' blood and sweat equity.

Get real and stop faking mediocrity of certain institutions by hiding them under glorious mislables

4382. Gaurav Kathuria, India
Please help preserve the existing 'IIT brand'; do not get it diluted

4389. Kiral Polu, India
We may be able to replicate all the features of IITs in the new IITs but not the quality of the students, which is enough to disturb the name and fame that the IIT brand holds

4390. Srikant, USA
Quality is always relative term. Let it be like that

4392.Sameer Kohli, India
Can you change your child's name from ABC to Neil Armstrong and expect him/her to be crowned as the first man on moon?

4395. Gaurav Vaish, India
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Why not spend less money on ourselves (politicians included) and create brand-new high-quality college and compete with IIT!

4396. Dr.V.N.Sharma, India
The Govt should think of something new. By giving the name the parents could not make HRD Minister Arjun, the Hero Arjun of Mahabharat. Nor he could become a lion. How does this changing the names to a Brand name helps should be explained by him and the Prime Minister

4397.Ram.India
Dont go beyond IITRoorkee let it be the last IIT. First Try to upgrade the existing IITs research output by giving lucrative package to Faculty at par with Top rated foreign Universities. Dont try to further dilute the Brand IIT

4403. Anil Tappetla, India
I sign the petition because this naive administrative act can appear to qualify just the surface to a decision (to rename) in seemingly identifying the credibility of the institutes at the national and international levels to be of the same, which thereby also hurts sentiments not just of the signees of this petition
