These days, students who come to IITs are familiar with latest technologies and gadgets that are introduced every now and then. Their knowledge is more or less up-to-date, with many aspirations in their heart and mind. In order that they are able to achieve these goals, innovative pedagogy will have to be introduced to make sure students are given ample opportunities to conquer their domain of interest.

He also said that with the introduction and setting up of new IITs, the primary focus of these should be on quality education to come at par with the old IITs that have gained popularity and recognition after being in the industry for many years now.
