This book tells the full story of the IIT ecosystem: where it came from, where it stands today and where it could go next. It moves easily from the early history to the current landscape to the challenges and opportunities ahead, without getting heavy.
What I liked most is that it speaks to every stage of the IIT journey. Aspirants will see what they're working toward and why it matters beyond a rank or a placement.
Current students will get context for the institution they're part of.
For those of us who graduated years ago, it's a nostalgia trip, and also a reminder of the purpose these institutions were built for and the responsibility that comes with the tag.
Easy to read, well put together, and relevant to anyone connected to IIT in any way. I'd recommend it to everyone, whether you're preparing to get in, currently on campus, or a long-time alum.
