Read somewhere that IIT's are planning to get into Medical Education in India.
This is downright silly. IIT's are the premier Technology Education Institutions in India. They have core competency in offering world class engineering education. The Core Competency required for offering a similar world class education in Medicine is totally different, and IIT's frankly do not possess it.
Looks like IIM's need to step in, and tell IIT's that an insane strategy of offering medical education will dilute the focus and brand equity of IIT, which we can ill afford.
