Update on IIT Front
Arun @ Jan 12, 2007

The process of converting selected colleges (including IT-BHU) into IIEST is temporarily under hold. This is because there is resistance from the West Bengal and Kerala govt. to completely hand over their colleges to central govt., as required for upgrade to IIEST.

There is encouraging news about Andhra govt. agreeing for an IIEST status for Andhra University-College of Engineering, Visakhapatanam:

It is hoped that other state govts. will also follow the path in coming months.

Meanwhile, government has announced setting up of 3 brand new IITs in the states of Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.
