3. Teaching practices:

3. Teaching practices: — In institutes such as University of Maryland, MIT etc, more emphasis is laid on research than classroom teaching, whereas, at the IITs, classroom teaching takes more time than research.

4. The hierarchy:

4. The hierarchy: — Someone who visited MIT said students and professors are in the same boat, trying to solve a research problem. “You can talk to a professor about anything and everything. He is really like a friend. This makes it really easy for a graduate student to communicate, take advice and counter professors. At IITs, there is a clear hierarchy. Professors are referred to as ‘Sir’ in mails and we can't talk about anything and everything with them.
