<p>This argument is ridiculous. To say that IIT can compete with MIT is insane. Look at funding, facilities, professors, everything. I am not saying IIT isn’t good or prestigious–it is. </p>
<p>It’s hogwash to say anything otherwise. It’s a meaningless argument to have because anyone who is driven by reason and not some arbitrary loyalty would realize that IIT is far behind it’s western competitors. It’s curious, because if IIT was as good as Harvard it would be the Americans and Europeans paying 1000s for dollars JEE coaching to come study here… and yet it’s the other way around. Funny, huh?</p>
