What is so great about IIT’s?
"It is difficult to gain admission to an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), and about only 2% of all applicants who attempt to crack the entrance exams succeed each year. We’ve often questioned why admission to IITs is prized so highly.
What makes them stand out among other schools and universities?
Why is it practically every Indian student’s aim to study in one of these institutes at some point in their lives? Why are these children’s parents and professors willing to give up everything, simply to see them study there? Surely, the IITs must offer something so valuable and enticing that it is worth all of the agony and effort.
What distinguishes IITs from other universities is that they direct student’s attention to how they may apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world situations. The assignments encourage students to use the technique of “brainstorming,” and there is a free exchange of ideas between students and academics about project viability. In addition, the laboratories are equipped with cutting-edge technology, and there are frequent quizzes, competitions, and exams to keep students on their toes.
Students earn travels to some of the world’s most prestigious universities for international conferences, global contests, and placements at world-class companies, and gain due accolades. Students will also have the opportunity to meet famous academics, scientists, and Nobel laureates, as well as be considered for fellowships, scholarships, and project funding. Many students even participate in student exchange and internship programmes with some of the world’s most prestigious colleges, such as MIT and Harvard.
In order to avoid missing out on general growth, students are also encouraged to explore their hobbies and extracurricular activities. In summary, students do not need to look for opportunities because the IITs provide them every other day.
What are the preparation strategies for IIT JAM exams?
IITs were founded shortly before our country’s independence with the goal of producing great technologists who would contribute to our country’s progress. In 1956, IIT Kharagpur became the first recognised IIT. Since then, 16 new institutes have been approved, with another 7 on the way.
Students leave the country, according to NR Narayana Murthy, an IT industrialist and co-founder of Infosys, since our country does not provide enough tempting chances for the sharpest brains. The government, in partnership with IITs, should take stringent efforts to prevent this “brain drain” and to urge our talented engineers to work for our country by providing them with an adequate salary, recognition, and opportunities.
