Coaching IIT aspirants a Rs.100 bn business - study
New Delhi: Private academies that train students for entrance exams of the Indian Institutes of Technology and other prestigious engineering colleges mint Rs.100 billion ($2.30 billion) a year - an amount that can fund 30 to 40 new IITs, shows a study by an industry body.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) study, released on Wednesday, said private academies who train 600,000 students every year for these exams make Rs.100 billion a year.
Calling for de-regulation of higher education, Assocham president Sajjan Jindal said the beneficiaries of the current system were those running big educational institutions and coaching centres.
“The amount of money which goes to these institutions - Rs.100 billion - is enough to open 30 to 40 IITs with lots of seats that can ensure admission to average candidates, aspiring to be an engineering graduate,” he said.
At least 50 percent of the students who appear in the entrance tests for admissions to IITs and other engineering colleges enroll with coaching centres to beat the cut-throat competition, said Assocham.
Talking about another anomaly in higher education, the body said that 80,000-90,000 students go abroad for higher studies, leading to a high foreign exchange outflow.
“If quality institutions are provided, a large number of students will stay back and contribute to the nation,” said Assocham.
The chamber asserted that more institutions of excellence should come up and suggested that private players and big industrial groups should be encouraged in higher education.

However, the registrar said the committee on June 30 recommended a lenient view towards three students, including two from the scheduled caste category.
“The director has since revoked the termination of these three students,” the registrar said in the mail, which did not reveal the names of the students who have been taken back.
IIT Delhi said in spite of special focus and extra care for those from marginalized groups, a total of 20 students were “asked to leave in view of their very poor performance”.

“Today, engineers graduates not to rest once and for the placement of interviews, computer companies, unless it is a rare case, and not a student at another place too for a long time, “says Gupta, who is also the position of the IIT-B.
This year, flat annual companies such as Infosys and Wipro are less than half the average wage in the tender IIT Campus. “The average annual wage on our campus R 6.5 lakh.
