Your education at IIT is 90% funded by tax payers money. These tax payers are from India and not the ones abroad. You need to be responsive to them. A 2 month internship at Indian Industry that partly pays for your education will not hurt you all that much as you imagine. You can visit Industries abroad for internship in summer breaks other than the one required for credits. So where is the conflict?

A couple of points :

Can you solve a Signal Processing problem in a couple of hours if I mail you one? Whilst the underlying mathematical tools used in solving “different” problems across disciplines may be the same, specific knowledge in a particular field is needed to identify the various trade-offs and parameters involved, and it is these which distinguish an engineering problem from a mathematical one.

The IITs were set up with the aim of training students to solve the nation’s technological problems. As the popular joke goes, they forgot to specify which nation… Mathematics is universal; engineering is not. Every society has its unique set of engineering challenges, and I personally feel that an internship in Indian industry would sensitize us to these India-specific needs and constraints.

P.S. Whilst this discussion assumes that students in IIT are holier-than-thou, I’d like to mention that many students here seem to have “decided” that a Euro-trip is what is best for them…

Dawkins? lol….you are the only guy I know who could have put that one in….nice! [:)] I have a slightly different take on this issue though, one that will probably be fairly controversial, so feel free to strongly disagree. I don’t think the “contribution to Indian society” of a student has anything to do with where you do your internship, as you seem to make it sound. Secondly, again, the fact that you do your internship in “Indian industry” has nothing to do with what you do with life, which is really what counts to who you are “serving”, if such a concept exists in today’s world, which is the next point I want to make. Who defines what “Indian industry” is? Is it purely geographical? Is Shell India, for eg, “Indian”? What about those other firms who are subsidiaries of their US (or other foreign) counterparts? I guess the institute needs to come up with a good rationale not only to convince students, but also to settle this criterion. If it is geographic, then I have no idea what the intentions are. If not, then the question of the classification is important, at least in terms of having a consistent philosophy.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Industry? Ridiculous!, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

UPDATE :

I recently found out what actually prompted the dean to take this decission. Apparently some chem guy had got an intern at UMich under a prof named Fogler(supposedly a very stud prof) by changing his CG to 9.8 from the actual 5.8. He made up some N credentials also. This came to light during his visa interview and then the prof also foind out. He mailed the dean( or someone else) saying how all this was spoiling the reputation of IITM and that this would hamper the chances of other IITM students from pursuing their studies abroad.

Anyway this by no way justifies the decession. But u know the dean…….. he simply likes to ban everything.
