Indian Tech Universities Put Lectures Online For Free

Posted by timothy on from the happy-music-too dept.

sas-dot writes "The most sought-after Indian institutions like IIT and IISc have put their course lectures on YouTube. The site is up from last December and is slowly gaining momentum in terms of lectures available online. This is India's own program similar to MIT's OpenCourseWare. Good to see the competition, and that students have many sources of knowledge for free."

    I agree that it does not matter how much he/she makes, but the original poster's point of them being "money grubbers" does not hold up for me either. IITs spend more on every student in terms of facilities provided than they charge as fees, education being substantially subsidized at the IITs by the government. The professors are a mixed bunch, some of them are awful yes, but some of them are experts in their field and very good at teaching too (not always found together). And oh, next time you feel so insecure about the size of your member, its best not to draw attention to it in a public forum. Your post degenerates to a troll, and I won't be surprised if some mod soon comes along and does the needful.
