New IITs vs Old NITs or Universities

2009 July 7

My ranking of engineering colleges across India is really a big hit. Google indexed it among top pages and readers and other bloggers gave it a best possible list status. Thanks to everyone who visited and commented it.

Apart from appreciation, I also received harsh responses from readers, specially for ranking new IITs so high in ranking, above old NITs and Universities. Few readers questioned for not adding few private universities, which were ranked as top engineering schools by some news agencies.

In this post, I sincerely try to answer all those reader and clear the doubts of many other students, who always have these questions in mind but could not find a right place to ask. Hope you find it useful. Drop you comments if you have any doubts, suggestion or question about this subject.

Why to add new IITs in ranking?
The answer to this question is very simple. Because they are taking admission from this year and being a student who is willing to opt for an engineering course, one seeks their ranking and position to make a right decision. Therefore, if I want to help these students who are taking admission this year I should consider new IITs for ranking too.

Why they are ranked so high, even higher than BITS Pilani, Anna Univ and Jadavpur?
If you look into my criteria for ranking many things will be cleared. My criteria was

Here I present a list for top ranked Engineering schools in India based on Student quality and preference, Faculty, Infrastructure and Industry interface or placements.

Every criterion was given preference based on their position in the statement. The first preference is given to Student Quality, next is faculty and then Infrastructure and so on.

I strongly believe, if quality of students is great there will be an excellent placement for campus and a great industry interface too. As industry always look for good quality of students wherever they find then they approach there. This made me to give highest preference to Student Quality. Moreover, placement for this batch is after 4 years and by that these new IITs will have a far better infrastructure than even old IITs. Because of heavy budget of Rs 2800 Crore by Central Government for these new IITs.

According to Student Quality, new IITs will definitely have superiority over all NITs and Universities, at least for Top branches of engineering.

In terms of faculty, IITs do not recruit faculty with less qualification than PhD and they are always open to find best people for them. They need not to advertise for the posts and wait for people to apply like Universities. All NITs and Universities, both government and private, have many faculty members who do not hold a doctorate degree.

A handsome budget of 2113 crore will make a huge infrastructure within four years. This is highest budget allocated to some educational institutes in India before. I strongly believe new IITs will have better infrastructure than old ones too.

Finally, placements, as student quality will be great and the brand IIT will play its magic. There is no doubt about it.

Because of All the factors I was bound to give them high ranking. Given a chance to me I personally prefer new IITs too.

Hope this gives all the answers. If still you have any doubts please don’t hesitate to drop a comment.

    Well, an electronics degree at BITS-Pilani, Pilani is much much better than electronics degree from most existing IITs what to talk about new IITs.. Although I have passed out from an IIT my self this year, I have friends studying in BITS and know much about the flexibilities offered in the institute. Its only the IIT craze that is fed into our minds but the fact we much all accept is that there are equally competing institutes in the country.

    @mayank..don’t be so arrogant dude…they have been and will always be superior to us..most of the technocrats working in google,microsoft,yahoo,amazon are from iit..not from nit.its not that they are just superior to us in pcm..infact they are superior to us in many other ways…i accept that not all iitians are greater than nitians but most of them are…its also true that some nits are at par with iits but are NOT superior to them..the quality u’ll find in iits is simply missing in nits..just see the qualification of our professors and the professors in iits.also just see the creativity part..they are way ahead of us..the research environment,infrastructure,etc is simply superb at iits..but it lacks in nits..be realistic yaar..chill…humlog nit se hain to nit wale hi rahenge..we won’t get the same respect that ppl from iits rightly deserve..we should stop fighting on this and do our best wherever we are…btw i am doing my btech from nit surathkal.
