Indian Institutes Of Technology (IIT)

Indian Institutes Of Technology (IIT)


Studying in an IIT or Indian Institute of Technology is the first thing that every ambitious engineering aspirant can think of in India. IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee are the seven IITs in India that are also termed as National Institutes of Importance. Set up under the Institutes of Technology Act, 1963, IITs are statutory bodies. The central administration of the IITs is looked after by the IIT Council. IITc Council is the apex body which is headed by the Human Resource Department of Indian Government.

Beside the existing seven IITs, nine more IITs have been proposed to be set up in different parts of the country. These states are - Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Orissa, Bihar and Punjab. IT-BHU will also be converted into an IIT. For a nation which is huge in every dimension needs some more institutes of high standard technology education.



Development of IITs
:
The foundation for the IITs in India was laid in 1946 by the Executive Council of Viceroy, Sir Jogendra Singh.
The main aim was to develop a technical structure to aid the industrial development in the country.
On May 1950, the first Indian Institute of Technology was set up in Kharagpur.
By 1961 four more such institutes were established in Mumbai, Kanpur, Chennai and Delhi.
IIT Guwahati was established in 1994.
In 2001, University of Roorkee was granted IIT status. This formed the seventh campus of the IITs in India.
IIT Admissions
Getting into an IIT is a dream that thousands of Indians nourishes. However, as IITs offer different types of courses, the admission procedure also varies. Admission to most of the courses depends on the performance of the candidates in the concerned entrance examination.


IIT Entrance Test

(A) Undergraduate Courses:
While IIT JEE is the entrance examination for getting admitted to any of the bachelor degree courses, for B.Des and B Arch separate aptitude tests have to be given along with IIT-JEE.


(B)Postgraduate Courses: For studying Postgraduate courses in IITs, one needs to appear in the appropriate entrance exam.

These entrance exams are -
GATE (M. Tech)
CEED (M.Des)
JAM (Msc)
(C) PhD: Usually an interview is held, though a written examination may be organized according to the discretion of the authorities. The following colleges are being reviewed for granting IIT status:
University College of Technology
Engineering and Technology departments of Jadavpur University, Kolkata
IT-BHU
AMU Aligarh
Andhra University College of Engineering
Bengal Engineering College
Cochin University of Science and Technology
Zakir Hussain College of Engineering and Technology
University College of Engineering
Recognized as Institutes of National Importance, by the Government of India, the IITs are viewed as one of the best places to study technology and science.Find Below links for other IITs in India:

Step by step approcah to problem solving

Step by step approcah to problem solving
Students of our generations are hard pressed for time. They have so many distractions today so that it becomes very difficult for them to concentrate on their studies. IIT JEE examination does not demand memorizing everything. Rather IIT JEE demands understanding of the topics. Our experience has shown that by mugging up and memorizing everything students will not be able to crack IIT JEE. Rather student should give time to each topic and relentlessly go about the same unless he or she gets full hold over the topic.

For this, a proper approach to problem solving is mandated. There are many ways in which one go about problem solving. But best approach is to go step by step. This may even take more time initially but this is the only way to bring about smooth organized flow of thoughts and clarity of concepts in to student's mind. As one progresses through step by step approach, student can himself notice how thoughts smoothly get regulated and comes nicely on a sheet of paper. Every student can achive this symphony with proper tuning and training of the mind. We will continue with our series.

Common GD PI for all IIMs?

Common GD PI for all IIMs?
Unlike the UPSC which conducts a common interview for the various cadres of the Civil Services Examinations, the IIMs have been conducting separate Group Discussions (GD) and Personal Interviews (PI) for each IIM. This has allowed each IIM to maintain its own discretion in selecting students as per its criteria - over the years we have often noticed that a students may get an interview call from say IIM Ahmedabad but not from IIM Bangalore or he may get a call from IIM Kolkata and IIM Lucknow but not from IIM Indore. This was because of certain differences in the selection criteria adopted by an IIM - in the last few years, it has been observed that IIM Bangalore prefers to give a GD PI call to a student with work-ex compared to another candidate who may have performed better at the CAT. Similary, the other IIMs had their own selection system.

Now an IIM Review Committee headed by R C Bhargava has recommended a common GD PI System for the IIMs. With the number of IIMs slated to increase to upto 13 in the coming years, the committee feels that it will no longer be feasible for candidates who get multiple Group Discussion & Interview calls to manage. It is also a waste of time, since the same job can be accomplished with much fewer GDs & PIs if the system was unified by the IIMs. The final allotment would then be similar to what happens after the IIT JEE or the Medical Entrance Exams - starting from the 1st rank students can choose the IIM they wish to enrol in.

However, the report adds that not all IIM Directors were happy with the recommendations and as such it may be initially implemented on a voluntary basis. While a common Interview System for the IIMs has its obvious benefits, the existing system had its own merits.

Different admission criteria allowed a larger pool of students to have a reasonable chance of making it to an IIM - a student may have been weak in a particular aspect, but if even one of the IIMs had a relaxed outlook on that particular point, this student stood a chance of realizing his IIM dream. The unified system would now have one 'ideal profile' or 'aggregate sum of points on one set of admission criteria', thus ruling out many bright students.

Another benefit of the separate GD PI system was that it reduced the pressure on the interviewee - just one bad day wouldn't make or break him; while a bad candidate would always be found lacking, a bright student who might have had a bad interview or GD at a particular IIM would get a chance to redeem himself in the next one.
