Infosys chairman emeritus N R Narayana Murthy a day after commented on the falling standards of IIT engineers, his comments have met with strong contention from Chetan Bhagat.

Reacting strongly to Murthy's remarks, Chetan Bhagat has tweeted, "It is ironic when someone who runs a body shopping company and calls it hi-tech, makes sweeping comments on the quality of IIT students."

Bhagat furhter writes, "Mr Murthy had a point, but wish he wasn't so sweepingly high handed. Fix the system. No point judging students."

Referring to the contribution of IIT students in the making of Infosys, he tweets, "IITians have made a great contribution in making Infosys what it is. Hope people remember that."

Well Addressing a assembling of hundreds of former IITians in New York, Murthy had said poor quality of students were entering IITs. He had said that the quality of students has deteriorated over the years due to the coaching classes that prepare engineering competitors.
