HRD Minister Kapil Sibal Friday refused to subscribe to Infosys chief Narayana Murthys view about slump in the quality of education in IITs and pitched for creating more such institutes in the country. We are capable of producing world-class institutions like IITs and IIMs and we need to have more of these institutions to reach almost every student capable and aspiring to get into these institutes, Sibal told a gathering at NIIT University here.

I dont believe or adhere to what Narayana Murthy has said, he told an event to mark the 10 million milestone for School Learning Division of NIIT. Murthy had recently voiced his displeasure over the quality of engineers that pass out of IITs and said there was a need to overhaul the selection criteria for students.
