Concerned over the "glaring regional imbalance" in the availability of engineering education,the National KnowledgeCommission (NKC) has favoured elite institutions like IITs adopting some engineering institutions to raise their standards.Do you think that elite institutions like IITs and NITs should "mentor" the new institutions in order to help raise their standards?
Busybee says: Yes, why not ? It would raise the standards of the other colleges. But then the final product depends on the input of student quality as well...
Lionking says: this is a good move by the NKC ... the IITs are very reputed institutes worldwide ... and if the IITs can mentor the very many engineering colleges that churn out vast quantity of engineering graduates ... who are unfortunately not well recognized as IIT graduates ... then they sure will be having good prospect ... and the name that IITs has had hand in those institutes will be in the back of the mind of the people hiring those graduates ... IITs mentoring the lesser engineering institutes will set some "standard" for those institutes which is good ...
Niceguy251 says: I agree with Busybee on Why not. It should be something like extension of premier institutes and why only IITs we may even consider IIMs. Admissions, faculty induction, quality of education, examinations, modules etc should be controlled by the parent institute. It should be like having more sections but not in the same locality but at distance. Regular checks can be done to ensure same standards. Yes, why not?
LP53 says: What is regional imbalance? Mere fact of adoption by IITs will improve educational standards? Aren't there better options to improve quality? Let the IITs be; not worth diluting their resources.
Ruggedboyz says: Changes are welcomed always specially if they are a step in the right direction and this one specially is if IIT adopts tiny college with less repute it will diffo raise standards as intended and only add to the pool of better engineers and who doesnt like it if ur nation has more of better skilled labour then their previously was
Abx says:good move.........but should all engineers follow IITians footsteps ?
Virtualscorpio says: I agree wid the Busybee, Input quality + education = output quality
