IITs losing its brand value, Super 30 founder Anand Kumar

Founder and director of free IIT JEE coaching ‘Super 30′ Anand Kumar says that IIT are now losing its brand value after increasing the number of IITs. In 2008 UPA government opened eight new IITs in different states across the country . ‘Super 30′ is an rganisation that selects 30 poor students every year and prepare them for IIT entrance test without charging money from them. Super 30 success story is great, its 30 out of 30 students got selected in IIT consecutively from 2008-11.
Kumar feels that government decision to open new IITS to improve level of technical education in country was not correct, “instead of increasing the number of seats, they should open colleges with proper infrastructure and teaching faculty with other names like National Institute of Technology (NIT). IIT should remain IIT only,” he said.
Students do not prefer new IITs, so it makes no sense.
Students prefer other top institutes instead of new IITs. 3 students of Super 30 did not take admission after clearing the exam. He said this year also around 238 more seats were increased which has put the total number of seats in the IIT to around 10,000 .
Success Matra for IITs
“Honest efforts and study in right direction is the mantra of success to crack exams like IIT.”
Tips for students preparing for JEE
Students should not be disappointed on the failures. IIT is not the end of the world. You all are talent and can switch-over to other fields also according to your talent.”
Students should focus on Class XI and XII first before appearing in the IIT entrance. IIT turns easy if the students have command over their basics.
Maths is easier than physics and chemistry. The need is to understand subject thoroughly instead of just half-baked knowledge, said Kumar
