's are a bit under-performing but those who have come from other institutions after a B.Tech. mostly if you get yourself extended from B.Tech. to M.tech here. you know you are brilliant and nothing can stop you and it doesn't!

(P.S. i forgot to mention..each of our hostels has a printer as well as your department and the computer center,you just need to have an id card or a professor's consent and that's isn't difficult to get if you are a good student..)

IISERs,IISc, a better platform for research than esteemed IITs? didnt know about this dark side of IITs !!
what do u all think… IISERs,IISc, a better platform for research than esteemed IITs?

Due to this, instinct to do research is buried in the corner of their hearts. Only IITians shouldn't be blamed for this condition.

I'm totally appalled at the quality of research work that goes on in the institute and especially the quality of MS/PhD students we are able to attract. All this despite having some world class professors. Hell, my PhD advisor didn't even know how to construct a single grammatically correct English sentence! let alone talking things that make sense. May be 1% (??) of their work gets used in the industry. One reason may be that most of the industries that do R&D are not located in India. (This has changed significantly in recent years.) I know a few BTech students who decide to fight everything and do MS, PhD in IITs. The fate of them is kind of sad. I guess the only hope of quality research getting done finally comes to our hands. Attempts like CFI, IIT Madras have proven to be really awesome in supporting passionate students with ideas by providing them resources and a place to work when they want to work. All the bureaucratic shit and MTech students who close labs promptly at 5 PM cast a bad light on the research culture the IITs aim to establish. I agree totally with you.

If Govt. funded IIT is so pathetic then wot about rest of the institutes.I was searching for researches carried out in IIT & guess wot i found none.I wounder why shouldn't gr8 minds go out to get their brains polished,cuz the best insti's of this country doesn't offer brushes.lol.... so is Brain Drain In my opinion they should take up some initiative which should motivate youngsters to actively take part in these programs.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t make in big in their careers. Its just a matter of time and as the famous proverb goes Jo jeeta wahi sikandar. So to project IITs as something prerequisite for the development of India is not fair. I wrote a post on research in IITs. People talk at length and many flaunt about the prospects of research in IIT. Outsiders often wonder the level of research and the kind of equipments available in an IIT, the premier institute of engineering in the country. I have talked to people and they often express their awe at the facilities available in the labs here. Well the truth of matter is IITs exist because of JEE and not because of the research. IIT is ranked 5th in the world when it comes to Btech but that rank touches 3 figure when it comes to post graduate education. The reasons, well there are many and the most prominent among them is lack of funds. I understand India is still a developing country and to be at par with the world class institutes you need much more than brain power. No doubt Indians have out-performed their counterparts in US universities but with foreign facilities, right?

If the facilities are paramount then it encourages the reseacher to carry on. Perhaps we need to increase the stipend awarded to scholars so as to make sure they stay in research field. Research is the key for a nation to progress. Might be but lack of funds is also an important issue. If the facilities are paramount then it encourages the reseacher to carry on.
