IIT and Subsidies
Posted on March 9th, 2008 by Niket
While browsing the interwebs, I recently came across statements to the effect that IITs should no longer be subsidized by taxpayer’s money and that this money can be used better elsewhere.
Well, our salaries are not subsidized by tax payer’s money. IITs are not subsidized by Indian tax payers.
In fact, IITian’s education is subsidized by our salaries (or lack thereof).
Most of my students are likely to get a starting pay (after B.Tech.) more than my salary… and this includes those who go for graduate studies as well.
