Is IITs Education System Competent Enough??

First up , I would say the content of what we are being taught should be changed . In 1970's or so , IITians were prepared to know everything which they MIGHT need to know in their careers and hence , every student learnt the basics of every major field of study . But in today's age , when we have PDA carrying , laptop-using IITians , there is no purpose in reading(or should I say mugging ? ) so many core courses , of which we use less than 5 % of the acquired knowledge . We just have too many courses to do to get a degree here .

Second , there is a definite communication gap between professors and students . And the students being extremely studious and nerdy people ( They have passed the JEE after all) , I don't think they'll take any steps to close this gap .Professors will Have to put an effort in this direction .

Third . Face it or not , we have very little cultural or sports activities going on in our campus . It is an altogether different matter that we don't have much technical activity either . The first retort of the IITK authorities will be that students are glued to their computer screend and refuse to budge .NOT TRUE .
Example : Every week , 4-5 students go to the cricket coach and ask to be included in the practise sessions . A week later , none of them will still be there.....for all they would have done will be standing behind the nets and acting as ball boys for the select priviliged few who get to play. We have 5000 students , mostly male , and we have JUST two criket nets . And horror of horrors, we don't have enough equipment to fully use even these two nets .

Fourth point . Grading Sytem has to be re-structured . Most important factor is the psychological aspect . Apart from this , the whole logic of our grading system is skewed . In most courses , average marks gets you a C . And by the very definition , there WILL be below average students , and in large numbers as well . So many D's and F's . And whats more , we have professors telling us that everybody in his class should aim only for an A or a B . Crazy ???

Lots more minor points are there which can be improved in IITK , but I guess whoever is reading this will be bored by now .

Also, I DONT hate IITK or something ...there are some great aspects of IITK as well . It's just that there are some glaring fault-lines emerging in our college .
