<p>Illbeback… Was talking about life skills and people skills alone… Academics, yeah iit is better than a state school… but academics only take you so far…</p>
<p>Objectively, where will you learn more about people to people interaction - an american state school or iit?</p>
<p>if ur sober enough to be coherent 8 hours a day at a state school…</p>
<p>i only just realised that ASP stood for Arjun Shankar Prakash . . whenever someone quoted ‘ASP’ in this convo before i tried finding who ASP was . . . in vain obv 
</p>
<p>the conclusion that comes out of this discussion is probably why i dont wanna goto IIT even if i get chosen . . cracking the FIIT JEE , brilliant tests etc are fun though . . but I dont wanna be doing only stuff like that in my whole life.</p>
<p>hey what the hell just happened…today my browser is showing that i am on page 387…anybody got any explanations…</p>

<p>SM</p>
<p>and perfect rishab when u say even after clearing JEE little intention of going there as for the stuff seen in their as future… Me also same path… i too feel that JEE is not the end of life to do and IIT likewise… Atleast for US i get to highlight who i am in totality also…</p>

<p>Adides,</p>
<p>1) For Engineering Brand value… IITs #3 in the world according to the Times Higher Upplement. And that’s after deducting points for no int’l proffs on campus (technically its #1 then).</p>
<p>2) now the following are some qoutes from <a href=“Indian Institutes of Technology - Wikipedia”>Indian Institutes of Technology - Wikipedia; </p>
<p>"The IITs are able to take out the cr</p>
<p>IIT = good, it has developed a brand.
But if i were to choose between MIT and IIT, I’d choose MIT.
If I were to choose between IIT or Stanford, I’d chose Stanford…</p>
<p>MIT and Stanford are the top 2 engineering colleges of the US currently, and students who have gone through MIT and Stanford easily find top-paying jobs… and are leading a number of corporate companies or research efforts…</p>
<p>IIT comes no where close to how research-oriented and forward thinking some of the top American engineering universities are…</p>
<p>Mention one significant research project IIT has carried out over the last 10 years. I’ll mention 10 for every one IIT project</p>
<p>sorry to break the news buddy
but IIT beat Stanford for Engineering brand value accdn THES</p>
