Given below are two statements: Statement I: IITs are different from other normal engineering colleges in our country. Statement II: In IITs science of engineering is taught whereas in normal engineering colleges mostly the technical aspect of engineering is taught. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: Correct Answer Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are autonomous public technical and research institutes located across India. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. 

Key PointsStatement I:  IITs are different from other normal engineering colleges in our country.

• IITs are premier engineering institutes in India and being a product of IIT itself reflects the quality of education received by an aspirant.
• First of all, the admission - procedure adopted by the institute is itself superior in comparison to normal Engineering Education imparted by the rest of the Engineering Colleges.
• They differ in better job placement in IITs, high salary packages offered to the selected students in IITs, provide excellent education and practical aspect of engineering in IITs.
• There are many public sectors that directly recruit IIT graduates for higher posts/designations

So, Statement I is true.

Statement II: In IITs science of engineering is taught whereas in normal engineering colleges mostly the technical aspect of engineering is taught.

• Engineering is a stream of education that involves the application of Science, Technology, and Mathematics to innovate, design, develop and maintain machines, structures, software, hardware, and systems & processes.
• The statement given is incorrect as both in IITs and other Engineering colleges the science of engineering and technical aspects of engineering are taught.

So, Statement II is false.

Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
