What has IITs achieved for India?
My My. No jokes. No sarcasm. Nothing. Be technical.
Dear Anonymous, if you are a woman, you've almost turned me on with your dominant personality. Had you been standing in front of me and asking this question in such dominant way, i would have taken you into my arms and kissed you. (With me, it all starts with a joke)
Let me tell you a story. Once a dying father called his four sons. He gave each of them a stick and asked them to break it. They did. Then he gave all of them a bundle of sticks and asked them to break it. They couldn't. Then he started preaching and said "In similar way, if you all stay alone, world would break you and if you stay together, the world cannot break you."
If all the IITian's of a department work together with a single goal of research, they may produce results which may shock the world. If all the students of IIM work together on a start up, the amount of funding they could generate would blow off your mind. But my dear anonymous, the sad part is the tag of IIT or IIM gives more pride than knowledge.
On this graph, imagine the x axis to be the knowledge and y axis to be the pride/ego. If both increase along y=x line, the human being is in realistic domain and results are acceptable (This line represents what it should be like). If it goes along y=0, then he is "Bhagwan Ram". And if it goes along x=0, he/she is an IITian.
The IIT's are glorified by the Coaching Institutes. Think about the amount of money all the IIT coaching institutes makes in terms of revenue and profit across the nation. Just to sustain this, they glorify IIT's. And the result of this is that the one's who don't clear IIT keep cursing themselves and asking me questions like this
Do IIT-ians masturbate? Did people who got through IIT JEE masturbate heavily during their 11th and 12th? Is success in life inversely proportional to the amount of time spent masturbating?
those who do clear IIT, they go mad with pride and ego.
This ego and pride in IITians does not let them collaborate on anything. Hence, most of the people don't do anything in terms of team work (apart from working in a team in Rendezvous and Sporttech for CV points) and waiting for the Interview call from Mckinsey, BCG, ATK, Bain, some financial firm or anyone else who pays them enough to reinforce the ego. They cleared the cut throat competition and came to IIT not to research but to earn money. So much money that even Bill Gates and Warren Buffett would start feeling jealous of them (sarcasm).
ISRO on the other hand has collected some gems (egoless intelligent creatures) and makes them work collaboratively to create something phenomenal. The individuals and individuality is lost for them and they work for ISRO and India.
However, this does not mean IIT's have just side effects. For starters, they have produced me (another joke). In the west, Individuality and Individuals are given a lot of Importance. Hence, some of the Individuals have performed brilliantly there and made a reputation for India and themselves.
Summary: IIT's bring up smart individuals. They have high Individuality and tough time working in team (there may be some exceptions). Although everyone would say during the Interview to consults that they can work in team. ISRO on the other hand brings up people who have lost Individuality and work for a common cause. ISRO brings up team players.
In life, depending on what your objective is, you sometimes need individuals (e.g for dating, to have sex, to romance, for strategy planning, art, answering on Quora) and sometimes you need team player (e.g research, military).
