[embedded image] The vitriolic public reaction to Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh's seemingly innocuous comment that "The faculty in Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is not world-class. It is the students in IITs who are world-class. The IITs and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are excellent because of...

IIT/IIM faculty: To call world-class or not to call world-class, that is the question

by Apurv Pandit in IIM, IIT, Management research, Jairam Ramesh

soumyaagrawal I personally believe that there are 2 aspects that we are not associating in our evaluation which are extremely important: 1. We must compare the fees in purchasing power terms rather than conversion rates because that is what really matters. Wads of notes are useless if they don't buy you much. When all our lives we have spent and earned rupees, you simply cannot convert it into dollars and start spending.. 2. The process of Idea and Knowledge generation at these prestigious institutions (all of them including IIT's and IIM's) are need based. This is what is happening, the efforts in the so-called world class institutions are on newer business models, smarter statistical analysis techniques and other things, BUT as mentioned in the article the faculty and research in IITs and IIMs is more aimed at creating sustained development which is the urgent need for out economy. is it not? and if the faculty at these institutions are making efforts and utilizing the funds for the betterment of our economy and country along with getting us students fatter paychecks... if they are not world class.. who is??
