COMMERCE
TOPPER: SRCC, DELHI
Each year, goes the lore, chartered
accountants who are SRCC alumni, save taxes equivalent to the Indian GDP.
And how do they do it? As principal J.L. Gupta puts it: "The focus is
to get two things right -- get the best students and the finest
faculty." But getting into this niche college (it mainly offers
courses in commerce and economics) is one of the toughest things to
achieve. The only college in the country which boasts of a placement cell
that attracts as many blue-chip companies as any business school. In fact,
last year it launched its own business school and the buzz is that it is
going to give a tough competition to the IIMS. The SRCC alumni includes
I&B Minister Arun Jaitley, Standard Chartered Bank CEO Tony Singh and
IDBI chief G.P. Gupta, among others.

When the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
was set up in a far-flung, marshy village of Mumbai called Powai, very few
expected students to assemble in the quadrangle, leave alone the
classrooms. Forty years later, IIT Powai is among the best known addresses
in the world of engineering -- churning out students who have made a mark
in all spheres of life. Such is its reputation that when the government
cut funds in 1992, IIT alumni got together to contribute $20 million (Rs
90 crore). Silicon Valley tycoon Kanwal Rekhi gave $2 million for setting
up a School of Information Technology and Infosys md Nandan Nilekani
donated Rs 11 crore. Academic excellence apart, the first lesson a student
learns here is humility. That's what is paying off now.

Called the Harvard of the East, the
National Law School of India University (NLSIU) was established by an Act
-- Karnataka Act 22 of 1986 -- under the sponsorship of the Bar Council of
India. The law school runs BA, LLB (Hons) degree programme (80 seats) and
masters and doctoral programmes (50 seats) and is famous for excelling in
Moot Court competitions in India and abroad. As NLSIU Director Professor
N.L. Mitra, an expert in banking, investment and corporate laws, says,
"The school is a pace-setter for Indian legal education and is a
testing ground for bold experiments." Needless to say, the school has
on its governing body and faculty some of the top-notch legal luminaries
from the country and abroad.

Almost 30,000 students sit for the AIIMS
entrance examination each year, but only 50 lucky ones make it. And lucky
they remain, for the curriculum at AIIMS is considered the best in the
country, unusual because it is revised each year based on student response
to teaching modules. What also makes AIIMS so special is the dedicated
faculty of nearly 500 medical experts who pack into a single day crowded
OPDs -- around 6,000 patients visit AIIMS every day -- lectures, seminars,
practicals and research work. Their motivation? Total academic freedom and
no limit on what multi-disciplinary research you would want to pursue.
This even makes up for the lower salaries they draw as compared to their
contemporaries in trendy new, corporate-style hospitals.
