Back in 2017, the government launched the Institution of Eminence (IOE) scheme under which it was going to back 20 institutes across the country— 10 public and 10 private. Along with the prestigious IOE tag, the private institutes were going to get more autonomy, and the public ones were going to get funding as well. Now, after 5 years, what is the state of the scheme?

To find that out, Indian Express’ National Education Editor Ritika Chopra undertook a two month long investigation which revealed how red tape and bureaucracy have left private institutes waiting all these years.
