Talk:National Institutes of Technology (India)

message: There do not seem to be many published articles about various legislations and policy that is supposed to apply for all NITs together. For example, many Indians know that admission is centralised for all NITs through the AIEEE exam, and that they have a 50% state quota, etc. But finding a reliable reference for this seems to be difficult. The MHRD website has little information about this. I have marked out many sections that require more references. Please help improve this article's accountability.

thread_title:  Difficulty in finding reliable sources 

message: Few days back I saw that an anonymous IP added a lot of content directly lifted from the Indian Institutes of Technology article. However, very little modifications were made to use it for NITs. At many places, the person even forgot to replace IIT with NIT, which shows clear failure on his part to verify what he has written. Can anyone copyedit and run a fact check on his edits. I didn't revert the edit as many things are indeed common, but I think this article deserves to be uique (and not shadow of IIT article). -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 04:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  An open request to NIT Junta 

message: As far as I know NIT is not called National Institutes of Technology. Its just Institute.
I will change that, but if u really feel that I am not right, please feel free to revert it back.

replies: text: You are partially correct. Individual NITs are National Institute of Technology, but collectively they are known as National Institutes of Technology. As a reference, you can read this, or even this (in official site). — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 05:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Minor Edit

message: I do not see too many flaws in this article to prevent it from becoming a featured article. The information is well presented and, although slightly overwhelming at times, follows encyclopedic style. It seems to me that most of the stuff has been copied from official government webpages but the material lacks citations. The person who has contributed most of the material should take charge and cite the sources. Moreover, as common in any unrefined article, there are grammatical errors. I have already started fixing them section-by-section and I encourage other editors who are well-versed in English writing to contribute. On another note, the pictures are oddly scattered throughout the article and this layout does not suit my eyes, but that could be just me. I would like to hear other views about the pictures before making any changes. — Aksera 10:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have extensively copy-edited this article over the last two days and boy, was it boring! The article was riddled with sentence overflows (typical in layman Indian writings, IMHO) and grammatical errors. Anyway, I took the time and pain to go through all the sections and the final outcome looks good. I feel especially good about adding several authoritative references to the article. Once again, I invite all editors who are well-versed in English writing to proofread and fix errors that I may have missed.

replies: text: I did not mean disrespect to anybody. In fact, I mentioned "typical in layman Indian writings" just to avoid hurting somebody personally. John, content is not "the king" in a formal encyclopedia! Moreover, grammar and structural errors like sentence overflows can not be fixed by bots. Guys, please don't take my comments personally. I do appreciate all the contributions that have been made so far. — Aksera 21:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
