Hi Tom,

3. In major Architectural competitions, IIT's usually don't stand a chance. Because all or most of them are like, they gave JEE, didn't get through engineering, so just to get that IIT tag, went for architecture. They never really get the hang of design and art based Architecture.
4. Take top 20 architects in India. I'lll give you some names. Hafeez Contractor, Sanjay Puri, Raj Rewal, BV Doshi, Charles Correa, Achyut Kanvinde, Laurie Baker, Hansmukh Patel, Somaya & Kalappa,Ravindra and Savita Punde, Karan Grover, Romi Khosla, Shahrukh Mistry to name a few. How many are from IITs? None.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
