“Compared to last year’s budget, the significance given to education sector is really not up to the sectoral expectation. However, the positive side of it is that, the outlay for premier engineering institutions (IIT) has increased; Also the allocation for research and higher education has increased. Aspiration of leaders like NIE to rank high in the country and the world, will take a longer period to realise”
-D A Prasanna Director The National Institute of Engineering College, Mysore
