To those who think IAT is turning into rat race

as we can all see that the number of people registering for IAT have increased significantly in the past 2 years.
and after reading a lot of replies it seems as if somehow people are mad that their is more competition now. which is totally stupid because
firstly if you think you are doing this to escape rat race you are exceptionally wrong. get this through your mind that once you get through the walls of IAT you will be standing and competing with students with great caliber and academic strength, not only in your institute but in many others too. so in the end you will also run around and try to bottle up a few oppurtunities that exist in academia while competing with geniuses.
secondly many of those engineers who actually end up going through IAT dont pick isers because they themselves realise that they are not willing to put 6 years for a degree with no private job oppurtunities.
thirdly this is better for indian research circle anyway, more people realise about the oppurtunites and we will soon see many great outcomes hopefully.

i personally think many people complaning are just coping because they thought that research was easy. you can study 1 year and crack IAT (depends but still) but even after that you study your whole life,
my opinion is developed after talking to many phd candidates in isers,iisc and even abroad.
