Government announced recently that its going to open 10 more IITs and IIMs and the apparent reason is that it wants to promote higher techinical education in country but wont opening more IITs and IIMs dilute the brand of these institutions? Already these instis are facing crunch of gud faculty members and it ie yet to be seen how the govt will manage to attract more faculty members for newer instis.

Again with increasing govt interference which started from Murli Manohar Joshi's reign as HRD minister and continuing with Arjun SIngh's reservation pol;icy , tthere is already a lot  of load on infrastructure of these instis and they are losing their sheen.

I think that more than higher education govt should rather concentrate on  Primary Education and ty to reduce the drop outs. Though efforts have been made in this direction but more focus is required.It requires a lot of money to open ne IIT or IIM and if we look at the distribution of IITs into states , we will find dat decisions were taken to pacify  different regional parties and states.

There was also some talk about giving reservation to fairer sex in IITs and seeing the ratio of ladies in these instis I think this can be done but again there will be many repercussions of this.Recently IITs have changed the pattern of JEE and there is a cap on the no. of years a person can drop to appear for JEE and this should help people from every section( ladies included) . But I do think that so many times parents dont pay attention towards the education of girls's education.

Lets see if this decision of govt would materialise or not coz govt's budget  is already under a lot of stress due to Sixth Pay Commision.
