And, that is why famous and established universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard continue to have the same name for centuries. "In India, IITs have a name recognition which gives them an institution's identity and there is no proposal to change it. The same is true for IIMs," according to the note signed by association president Dr Achal Kumar Srivastava and general secretary Dr Harshal Ramesh Salve said.
