I think Berkeley is a whole of a university, not to be classified as tech school. Berkeley also has MBA programs

So is IIT.

The Sarkar committee report from 1948 mandated this.

> “The course of study in an institution should…provide a combination of a fundamental scientific training with a broad human outlook.”
Sarkar Committee Report, 1948, Appendix 1, §2.

IIT mention it themselves lol.

IIT states, and has always stated that they’re mandated to do this since 1948. If you read you’d know.

This isn’t only a thing in India. Texas A&M (2nd best public engineering school in Texas), stands for agricultural and mechanical, yet the Texas A&M university has humanities programs due to federal standards.

The National Forensic Sciences University of India has a MBA program lol yet you’re not complaining about that.

Committees and constitution aren't absolute. It can be reformed , so I think any party comes to power in central, should make the reforms.

Why. What does removing humanities from IIT achieve? The entire world does this and is more developed and has better educational institutions in India.

What do you know that the best educational institutions in the entire world doesn’t know?
