The Planning Commission has suggested that the setting up of the new IITs could be considered under public-private participation, the report stated. There are seven Indian Institutes of Technology and six Indian Institutes of Management in the country. The government has recently decided to set up three new IITs in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan.
The government will set up the seventh IIM at Shillong, the report said. Two new schools of Planning and Architecture are also proposed to be started at Vijayawada and Bhopal. In addition to the existing Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) at Gwalior, Allahabad and Jabalpur, a new IIIT (Design and Manufacturing) has been approved to be set up at Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, the report said. The government has set up two Indian Institutes of Scientific Education and Research at Kolkata and Pune. One more such institute will be set up at Mohali, while two more are proposed -- one each in Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram.
Four new Central universities were created last year, the report said. The University Grants Commission was given a plan budget of Rs 1,269 crore (Rs 12.69 billion) in 2006-07, which was a substantial increase of about 68 per cent over the 2005-06 allocations, it added.

Its all Fake...... by jagadish patra on Apr 25, 2007 03:51 AM | Hide replies Setting up new iit, seems like printing fake note(currency),
govt. can setup thousands of iites, iims; in such case it will have no market value. rather it will spoil all the reputation of these premie institute
If they are so much interested in education, why don't they come up with some new name (not taking the brand name of established and brig it to international standard.
I think having one institute in top 100 (realistic goal) is worth than having all these institute, which will surely bring down the bran d n this govt. is going to spoil all the education system of our countary
