Tomorrow’s leaders: opinion on IIT/IIM grads by T N Ninan at Business Standard. From his interviews for the Aditya Birla scholarships, and observes that there is a lack of awareness about India among them, and that the real value of the IITs/IIMs is in the selection process, not the education. I disagree on the latter. I think the 4+2 years of intense competition also adds value. The curriculum, however, may or may not.
IIT and IIM grads
I respond to T N Ninan’s critique of IIT/IIM graduates. While he argues their value lies solely in the rigorous selection process, I believe the years of intense competition provide significant value, regardless of the curriculum's quality.
