The Ruin of IIT's (The Story in Numbers)

There are 1.2 billion Indians

Approximately half of them are supposed to be in the 0-25 age group

that gives us 600 million young Indians

these 600 million are fairly evenly distributed among the 0-25 age group

so about 3/26th of them in the 17-19 age group

that gives us around 69 million indians on the cusp of turning adults

of these only 35% are educated upto the 12th standard level

that leaves 24.25 million Educated indians on the cusp of turning adults

only 40% of these are in the science stream at max

so that leaves 9.7 million Educated indians on the cusp of adulthood who study science

only half of them actually think of engineering as a career

that will give 4.85 million Educated Indian Soon-to-be Engineers on the cusp of adulthood

Only about 30% know their selected branch of engineering really well.

that will leave 1,455,000 Young Indian Engineering Graduates of real calibre

only about 15% go in for higher studies beyond their bachelors degree

that will give 218,250 Young Indian Engineering Graduates Who go in for post graduation

of them half pursue an MBA

that will leave 109,125 Young Indian Engineering Post-Graduates

At the Maximum 5% of them complete a Doctorate

That will give about 5,450 Doctorates in The aforementioned long long classification of Young Indian Engineering Graduates of Some Calibre who pursue and succesfully complete their post-graduation upto the Ph.D level

Of these only 10% will go into the academic field

That gives 545 teachers who are Indian Engineering Graduates of Some Calibre Who have succesfully obtained a Doctorate

But wait i haven't finished

of these only 20% actually teach in India

The Brain Drain is real dudes ..........

so that leaves only 109 blah blah blah ........Doctorates teaching in India

of these lets say 40% teach in IIT's (the "Brand" That's on its last legs thanks to a certain Mr.Arjun Singh)

so that gives us 43 IIT professors every year

Great!!

Problem is that there are going to be 15 IIT's plus ofcourse the All - Womens IIT

So 16 IIT's

That gives every IIT less than 3 new Professors every year

And of course my dear Mr. Arjun Singh do profs ever retire ???

Can an Institution of the level of an IIT (what level people will ask 5 years down the line)
survive on getting just 3 professors of high quality every year ?????


Whew that was tiring

Hope i made my point!!
