Challenge for India's top schools (Bloomberg News via IHT)

Interesting analysis of the challenges that the IITs face.

The Dept of Education in the central govt is not averse to letting foreign universities open branches in India. This would mean an exodus of faculty and researchers to these places. It would also reduce the allure of IITs to aspiring engineers.

The article says that about 15% of all IIT grads go abroad for further education. I thought the number was much higher.
