The Rajya Sabha on Tuesday approved the Institutes of Technology
(Amendment) Bill, 2016, which was passed by the Lok Sabha earlier
As a result, new IITs will soon come up in -
- Jammu
- Tirupati
- Palakkad (Kerala)
- Goa, Dharwad (Karnataka) and
- Bhilai (Chhattisgarh).
Replying to a debate on the bill, HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said
IITs are centres of excellence and would continue to remain so. “We will
not allow anything that will lower their standards. Actually we all
should try to improve them further and make them really world class
institutes. Therefore quality is absolutely important.”
