Bad summer for IIT's

      This summer was not particularly good for IIT's .. there were many decision putting them in trouble apart from much debated OBC quota implementation..Seems that the government is behaving like Santa Claus( coming before election year ) distributing IIT's for everyone.The new IIT's neither have full fledged campus nor faculty,in fact The current IIT's also faces faculty crunch , also there were rumour about women IIT (:() in Maharshtra,some organisations demanded muslim IIT (what the hell ..) ,and upgrading some private bengal engg college to IIT (the college have CPM leaders on their Board) it's sad that IIT's are suffering from such kind of political intervention,It will not only dilute IIT brand but will also hamper the autonomy of such institutes...
       Then there was a controversy regarding expulsion of 12 SC/ST students from IIT Delhi,Expulsion due to poor performance happens in other IIT's also(and sadly most of them are reserved cat. student) but the IIT D case got media attention as students ran towards SC/ST commission ...,in fact last year 14 student were about to be expelled from IIT-kgp (ALL reserved cat)due to poor performance but they were given another chance under special circumstances by senate (may be to avoid Drama by pro-SC/ST's) .After commission's directions and review committee report IITD finally revokes the order for 3 students..
         Even after nation saw that most of the poor performers(students) in IIT's are from reserved category students government went ahead with it's decision to implement SC/ST reservation in IIT's for faculty positions , It's ob that in this case all students (in IIT )are going to suffer .
Summing up such interferences if not stop it time may prove costly in the longer run..
