India's IITs: Expanding or Innovating for Future Success?

India's IITs are like top schools for engineering, but are they growing the right way?

The government spends a lot on them.

Newer IITs are being built, but the best students still go to the older, famous ones.

The article wonders if it's better to focus on making all IITs the same or create different IITs specializing in different areas, like China does.

This could make sure money is spent efficiently and help India in areas like AI and semiconductors.

It's about building not just good schools, but a whole system that makes the whole country better.
