Vivek Kumar comments on IIT Bombay’s decision to restrict Internet access to its students.
It is sad that IIT Bombay has chosen to curb the symptom (internet addiction) of the effects (stress, frustration, disillusionment) without addressing the cause. It seems that IITB is taking the easy way out. The tough way would be to address the following:
- Boring lectures and stagnant courses
- Lack of flexibility in the curriculum
- Professors who can’t teach (there are quite a few)
- Unrealistic expectations of parents/family from their wards
- Unjustified hype around the IIT Brand
