Dual Face of Director Gautam Barua
POSTED BY king
The Director of IITG, Gautam Barua, has good persuasive skills. His sweet talks hide a lot in the background which needs to come to light.
In the past few days, we have been hearing a lot of ethical lectures regarding IIT-JEE Coaching from Gautam Barua. He is against IIT-JEE Coaching system and has also banned the students from teaching in coaching institutes as expressed through his following two emails.

Subject: JEE Coaching by Students - An appeal
From: "Gautam Barua"

To: stud@iitg.ernet.in
deans@iitg.ernet.in
----------------------------------------------------------
We found that a number of IITG students have been involved in JEE
coaching in the city. We have warned all of them to stop this or to face
disciplinary action.
While "earning while learning" is an accepted practice in society, and
many students with limited means need to earn to continue their
studies, JEE coaching is not an acceptable activity. Why is this so?
1.First of all, when our students take part, the coaching institute uses
the name of IIT to attract students. This use of the brand of IIT cannot
be done by someone who is an IIT student. There is no quality control
over the students who are doing the coaching. There is no selection
process by the IIT system (In fact we have found that most of the IIT
students doing coaching do not have very good CPIs. A good CPI too does
not ensure quality. Some students stay over in summer doing an
internship, but actually they are doing coaching in the city. Almost all
of them are "academically poor" students). So the quality associated
with the IIT brand gets diluted. There is therefore a big element of
fraud in this exercise as the coaching institute students and their
parents get duped by the use of the IIT name.
2. The IIT system is against the whole concept of coaching for JEE. The
Govt. of India and the IIT system are working on ways to stop or reduce
the menace of coaching for JEE. We therefore cannot stand by and see our
own students take up coaching.
3. Taking part in coaching is not an occasional job to be done over
weekends. Its needs preparation. It usually ends up in students bunking
classes. Their results at the IIT suffer. The whole academic atmosphere
in the IIT gets vitiated.
I request the co-operation of the student community to stop this
menace. It is only with your co-operation through peer pressure on your
fellow students that we can completely wipe out coaching by students.
After you graduate, if you wish to take up coaching as a career, we
cannot, and will not stop you. I reserve the right to disapprove though.

I am getting reports that a number of B.Tech students are teaching in
IIT JEE coaching institutes in the city. IITG does not allow its
students to do coaching while they are on campus. All of you who are
doing this have to stop. Anyone found doing coaching 1) will be
immediately asked to vacate the hostel he / she is staying in, 2) will
have a letter sent to his parents / guardians, and 3) disciplinary
proceedings will be initiated.
All faculty taking in IIT students (IITG or other IIT) as summer
internees may please take an undertaking from each of the students. The
undertaking must have at least the following sentences : "I promise
that I will devote my full time to the summer internship. I promise that
I will not teach or assist in any way in any IIT JEE coaching
institutes in the city of Guwahati during the period of internship."

Many of us after reading these emails may think that the Director is a person of high morals. But have a look at the pictures below which are taken from one of the IIT-JEE Coaching Institute's Brochure. The Director alongwith some other professors of IITG have been participating in the functions of Impact Coaching Institute every year from the time it has started and is encouraging students to join the Impact Institute misusing the IIT brand name. It is gathered that he has a share in the institute. This is a fraud with the society and the Director is filling his own pockets by running and advertising Coaching Institute himself.
It has also been heard that IITG Academic Sections staff is the Franchise owner of the Narayana Coaching Institute in Guwahati and this internal politics is also one of the motive behind the emails.
