IIT Bombay likely to double fees from next yr

Filed under:

As IIT-Delhi pulls the plug on the Internet for a few hours, students are unperturbed. Their point: they’ll find their way around the ban!

IIT-Delhi has finally found a way to get the students into the classrooms for the morning lectures: ban the Internet usage between 1 to 5 am in the IIT campus!

But does it bother the students? Not in the least. In fact, they are currently looking for means and ways to minimise this loss.

The reasons why IIT-Delhi decided to switch off the Net is to stop students from bunking morning lectures and also to check the number of downloads, which is sky high just now.

But students say ban or no ban, the situation is not going to change.

Says Harsha Vardhan, M-Tech final year student, “I admit that this piece of news is quite a shocker. However, it is not going to affect the way any of us functions.

Work happens at night and practically everyone’s awake. This ban won’t last and I am saying this based on experience. About a year ago, there were restrictions imposed on access to several sites that were considered objectionable.
