 Challenges and issues facing the IITs

  • IIT are globally recognized as the crown jewels in India’s higher education system.

  • They are often the only Indian higher education institutions known internationally at all. 

  • They have produced leaders in high tech and related fields in India and abroad

  • The IITs may be the most difficult higher education institutions to gain entry in the world.

  • IIT system is in serious trouble at the same time that some of them are building campuses abroad as part of India’s soft power efforts. 

  • It is worth taking a careful look at current realities to understand a looming crisis.

  • A branch campus of IIT-Madras has just opened in Zanzibar and IIT Delhi will be launching programmes from its Abu Dhabi campus in 2024.

  • The faculty are from the Chennai campus  and will they stay in Zanzibar.

  •  Frequently a problem for branch campuses of western universities.

  • Admission is based on the IIT Madras Zanzibar Selection Test (IITMZST) 2023 screening test followed by an interview. 

  • Some of the screening test centres offered to potential applicants were located not only in Tanzania but also in Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and the UAE.

  • The Zanzibar campus is open to students from across the globe. 

  • The annual tuition fee is $12,000 for the BS programme and $4,000 for the M.Tech programme.

  • Reports say that the rules and regulations of the IITM Zanzibar campus will be based on the existing norms of IIT Madras.

  • The first IIT was established in 1950 at Kharagpur in West Bengal.

  • They hired Indians trained at the best foreign universities who were eager to contribute to national development. 

  • But these were small institutions — the total student enrolment was about 20,000 in the original six IITs.

  • After 2015, the government expanded the IIT system, adding seven institutions in the following decade.

  • These new IITs have struggled to meet the high standards of the traditional institutes. 

  • Some were created by upgrading existing institutions such as the Indian School of Mines Dhanbad, while others were “greenfield” start-ups

  • Top professors are often unwilling to work in isolated places.

  • In 2021-22, 361 undergraduate, 3,083 postgraduate and 1,852 PhD seats were empty in the new IITs. 

  • There should not be several tiers of IITs, with varying standards and levels of prestige.

  • In all the 23 IITs has expanded to more than 1,20,000, with 25,237 students graduating in 2022-23, a clear indicator of more access and opportunity.

  • Salaries are dramatically below international standards. 

  • Foreign trained Indians are generally reluctant to return to uncompetitive salaries.

  • There is now a severe shortage of academics in the IIT system. 

  • In 2021, out of the 10,881 of the sanctioned posts 4,370 were vacant.

  • It would not be an exaggeration to say that the IITs are in crisis.
