IIT has never been really oriented towards research (although that is changing now with all the new money pouring into the schools), but has always been arguably the best engineering school in the world. It is the ridiculous competition at these schools that has made them outstanding, and the amazingly low acceptance rate at these schools make harvard and princeton look like state universities.
