No i dont think we should do that. National Competitive edge and all. Its not about the money for these institutes, they are funded by the govt directly. You have no idea how tough it is to get into those. Really many people keep Stanford/Princeton/NUS etc as backups!
But i agree. We should have a SAARC quota in IIT/IIM's. Within that quota, it should be merit based competition for all SAARC countries treated equally. This was we get to share as well. All the seats of the quota should be added to the existing number of seats instead of marking them from the current pool.
Actually, the SAARC idea will also work.
