�Looking Ahead: The Next 50 Years�

Everybody wants to be at IIT Bombay ... for a large number of the top-ranking candidates of the JEE, IIT Bombay continues to be the most preferred destination. This was evident on the second day of counselling at the Powai campus. The reasons for this are many ... but for most, IIT Bombay is the place that guarantees good placements.

7% in maths can get you through IIT-JEE ... that's exactly what happened in the 2007 entrance exam, an RTI query has revealed. If such poor performance in individual subjects could not stop candidates from making it to the all-India rank (AIR) list, it was thanks to a radical change in the 2007 examination in the procedure for calculating subject-wise cutoffs.

Brushing aside objections over brand dilution, the government has begun work on modifying the 1961 IIT Act to increase the total number of IITs to 16. "I am surely in favour of the government's idea of creating new quality institutes like the IITs but they should be given a different name so that a different branding can be created," said Ashok Misra, Director, IIT Bombay.

A majority of India's 230,000 annual engineering graduates are not employable.

According to a study carried out by Prof. Rangan Banerjee of IIT Bombay and Vinayak Muley of the DoE, a "National PhD Initiative" is urgently needed to increase the number of engineering PhDs from the present abysmal 1,000 a year to at least 10,00 a year for the future success of Indian industry and growth of engineering education in India.

IIT Bombay has launched a Mega Global Initiative to discover "10 Great Ideas to Change the World in the next 50 years". This initiative was launched by noted industrialist Mr. Adi Godrej, Chairman, Godrej Group and a member of IITB Advisory Council, along with Prof Ashok Misra, Director, IIT Bombay, at a gala event at IITB�s Powai campus in Mumbai.

IIT Bombay, which set up an extension centre at Government Engineering College (GEC), Chandkheda, six months ago, will support the Gujarat state education department in the entire process of setting up a full-fledged IIT. The IIT will function from GEC Chandkheda.
