In a recent decision rendered by authorities of IIT Indore, they will shift students to an under-construction campus to give them a real time experience of life of an Engineer. Following this decision they have also decided to start Btech program in Civil and Metallurgy as these are the fields where environment is almost similar to the new under-construction campus.
IIT Indore which from the start of its functioning had provided World Class facilities to its students, but most importantly it has succeeded in giving students real life experiences which will be beneficial for the students after the college life. Be it the experience of travelling everyday 20-25 kms daily for college, or the experience of non-availability of sports area, in every field they tried to make students prepared for the life after college.
Now this decision will make students habitual of living in small, crowded and dangerous area. Administration told us that they are trying to make every thing as difficult for students as it can get on the outside world like dusty roads, non-availability of water, intermittent internet connection, etc.
This decision is making students indignant and they have started to protest. They are signing a petition for it on this link https://www.change.org/p/mhrd-do-not-shift-iit-indore-campus
While many students already signed it, but the administration is standing firm on this issue.
Lets hope that the petition will get some response both from the administration and the MHRD.
