Re: IIT, IIM faculty not world class: Jairam Ramesh
I haven't read this article but I went through some of the OCW posted by the IITs. They were so utterly boring and uninspiring. IITM has a long chant at the beginning of every video.

===> Compare Walter Lewin of MIT with any teacher at IIT.
Dr. Lewin comes out the real winner. The man makes you really like Physics and want to learn it.

You are absloutely correct. It is too long. I can't wait for that to finish.
They should get rid off that.

he is right on the money. This is what I have been saying for a long long time... And surprisingly ThOmas Padre also used to agree.
It is the students - the 10,000 out of the 500,000 - who keep the IIT flag flying, instead of the IIT faculty turning these 10,000 moto-rotos into brilliant engineers.

And you need a research for this? Anyone who can do A$$mo$i$ to IIT department head - usually their own students of M.Tech and Ph.D., - get jobs as assistant professors and end up as department heads.
No outsider is allowed. Anyone from outside is considered a "useless" fellow whether his knowledge is good or not. The IIT tag alone works even if the guy from IIT is a super moron.
I can give a thousand examples - whom I know so closely. One of those IIT greats said "COLD is past tense of COOL," when I asked what is the difference between cool and cold. I am being 50000% serious, no joking.

What word were you trying to mask there? We don't have censorship here... you can use any swear words you like.The Absolute Zero wrote:A$$mo$i$
Have you considered the possibility that he was trying to be COOL with that reply? And that you were COLD to it?The Absolute Zero wrote:"COLD is past tense of COOL," when I asked what is the difference between cool and cold. I am being 50000% serious, no joking.

No he was serious and when we look into dictionary, he was adamant. The other guy from Vizag AU was stunned and said "Hey! You from IIT?" Since IIT guy was my good friend, I could not say a thing. Now we moved apart and lost contact

I don't know. I know a couple of undergraduate EE students from reasonablly well-known engineering schools here (not MIT or Ann Arbor, however). They say they get a lot more (compared to what they get sitting in the classes here) when they play IIT-Kanpur & Kharagpur teaching videos, some of which are available on the net.
I think a blanket statement like that ("IITs' faculty is no good") by a responsible person is grossly unfair.

Like NI/SI, this topic doesn't lend itself to nuanced discussion on CH. The fact is, the "good students" argument applies to most top schools anywhere in the world. The IITs do have some good faculty but they don't stand out for how well they train those students.
