NIT Council Meets today: Very crucial



Prof Sanjeev Sanghi, IIT Delhi opines

An even more crucial meeting today: the NIT council. Why is this crucial?


1. This decides how the 30K odd students will be chosen, roughly 6 times the numbers in IITs.


2. IITs have tried to unentangle themselves with the NITs. Will tomorrow's decision re-entangle the two? If so what will be the overall implications? Will it start a new round of protests?


3. NITs have so far not protested. So may be they will be subjected to manipulation and usage of illogical and unscietific formulae like addtion of percentile and percentages.


4. The real sufferers, however, will be the children who plan to appear for 2013 exams, especially those who appeared in AIEEE in 2011 and 2012 and want to take 2nd and 3rd attempts.


5. In my opinion, NITs should continue with the current filter of passing Class XII instead of using percentile class XII scores, as implentability in 2013 will be a very major issue if percentiles are used, especially as an additive component.


6. I pray to God to give 'sadbudhi' and not 'ka-buddhi' to all the decision makers.
