IITs precious, I'll not interfere with them: Sibal

The Government would not interfere in the administration of the Indian Institutes of Technology, Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal has assured protesting IIT teachers. Sibal clarified his view about two topics at IITs: recruitments and promotions.
