00:0030 years back, 95, when I entered an IIT campus, it was not really for the sake of broadening the
00:09scope of my thought. No. Honestly, no.
00:13That was not the case with me, and I think I'm sure that was also not the case with any
00:19of my 350 batchmates.
00:21Most of us went there for the sake of placements. I specifically went there because in the previous years, all
00:29the top-rankers in the UPSC Civil Services exam were IITians.
00:34So IIT looked like a good route to go to civil services.
00:40Thought, innovation, research, creativity, hello? Who cares about that? Is that not so?
00:49Are we thinkers?
