Bad formatting

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The overall formatting of the page places the map of the schools inline on the article, causing poor formatting and tons of whitespace when viewed on desktop. I'm too dumb to figure out how to format an image that is being referenced with curly braces. I tried moving it into the info box but that didn't look good. Would appreciate if somebody smarter could could fix this. Thanks! 17jmumford (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding rearrangement of names of IITs on map with numbering

As there are so many IIT names, it is better to provide numbers on map and to detail them at the bottom of the map.

Thank you

In the article it is stated that there are two non-indian IITs, one in the United Arab Emirates and one in Tanzania. I hope proper citations is provided for such information.
