To appease the Indian youth protesting against the increased reservations for the backward classes in premier institutes, the Government proposed a quick solution - increase the number of seats in IITs and IIMs.
But the Chairman of the governing body for IIM Ahmedabad, Narayana Murthy, is not happy.
"People sitting in New Delhi cannot take these desicisons. A lot of variables need to be taken into account like the number of classrooms and hostel rooms. It is up to the chairman and the directors of the IITs and IIMs to take a desicison," says he.
He also pointed out the difficulty faced by these premier institutes in attracting good faculty members.
Murthy also criticised the Government for keeping the salary levels low and under strict control.
"It is unfortunate that these desicisons do no lie with the institutes but with the Government. We are not going about this in the right way. Our insitutes will never be the world class institutes if this continues," says he.
Narayana Murthy's comments are the latest in a series of battles the IIMs have fought with the Government. It now remains to seen who wins this round.
