MUMBAI: From this academic year (2008 - 09) the out of state students in NITs shall be admitted on the basis of All India Rank in AIEEE instead of state rank. India has 20 NITs. The central government has already given the directives to NITs, such decision was taken because earlier when students were selected on the basis of state rank there were occasions when a student having low all India rank secured admission while other having rank left behind. The central government is acting to upgrade regional engineering colleges in the country since 2002. In 2007 the government has passed the NIT Act under which all the NITs are declared institute of national importance.
Whatever government has done might be in the interest of the aspirants. In my opinion there shall be only two types of quota or reservation. One state and other national, considering the geography of India student from the local state must be given preference if he / she wish to study within the state institute. This shall prevent the escape of human resources from state. For example a student who comes to Delhi for study never goes back to home state. And this number is not only 1 but in thousands per year. This creates overburden on a particular region at one hand and left other region under developed. Meanwhile if students would be given chance and encouraged to learn within the state they would add to development at much better pace of the native state.
