He said that the IIT people did not want to measure the knowledge of 
the students but their skills. Hence, the entrance test for admission 
in to the institution was conducted on the lines of the IIT-JEE. When 
asked why the institution was not providing coaching to the EAMCET 
students, he elaborately explained the reasons. He said that 
preparation for the EAMCET was entirely different from preparation 
forthe IIT. The objective of the EAMCET was fastness but skills were 
important for the IIT.
The IIT student has conceptual knowledge where 
as the EAMCET one lacked it, he said adding that a student
having conceptual knowledge could finish a problem within four or five 
steps. But, a student who prepares for the EAMCET solves the same 
problem in 20 steps.
Generally the IIT question paper was flexible and hence it did not 
dissatisfy any student. But the llT examiners saw the theoretical 
background of the student but not the mere solution to the question, 
where many students failed, he said.
Ramaiah said "initially for two years we gave coaching for the EAMCET 
along with the IIT on the same campus. But. found that EAMCET results 
were not encouraging hence stopped giving coaching". On free coaching 
to the students, he said that every year not less than 10 SC students 
were given free coaching. But. the result in them was not encouraging 
till two years ago. Ramaiah has a feeling of remorse for not able to 
providing the coaching for the poor. If government can move on this 
lines, he is ready to help to such an effort. Lets hope in the era of 
internet, The best guidance of a best GURU will reach every corner of 
the world.
