Quality in IITs and IIMs

The comments of both the Environment and Human Resource Ministers are correct regarding the dwindling of quality in IITs and IIMs. It is true of all other higher Indian Educational Institutions.

The number one university in the world today is Harvard University and the professors working in it attributed their highest rank to their method of teaching and the continuous research culture which empower their students and help the university to get the top ranking position in the world.

Indian students have minds worth of mines of diamonds and their cognitive potential remains untapped and unused owing to the wrong methods of teaching of the faculty. Once an Indian scientist who had received Padhmashree award, said that Indians are Non-linear Thinkers and narrow-minded in nature.

Further the students don't know how to learn and how to think. They should realize that their minds are the best laboratories and try to put their thoughts in writing. They should learn to collect new ideas and train their minds to think in different ways. This practice would make them create new ideas and come out with their own new working models. These are the ways to create Research-Bent of Mind (RBM) and Innovative-Bent of Mind (IBM) among the students.

By meticulously following the above method, all Indian students can be made to think like great scientists.

This is the most urgent need of the hour to bring a reform in the Indian Education System to provide quality education.
