excellent sir.. a well thought well presented paper.. the blog gives a clear idea on what exactly should be the aim of a modern collge.the institutes may have the best faculty and technical abilities but yes it should carve itself a recognisable space in a country which has a considerable number of colleges but very few we can really boast about.. iit's n iim's deserve what they have made for themselves.. a student from ther needs only his college id to get a job...

but on the flip side dont you belive that certain institutions in the shadow of branding have turned into pucca business place where the degress are sold at exhorbitant prices { recently manipal college of medicine was de-recogniased by medical council of india, rai university got derecognized by ugc etc}...another example which comes to my mind is arindam chodary's IIMM.. which carries a brand line "dare to think beyond iim's"..
yes brand is necessary ...but i have a feeling that most marketed colleges are not really the best.. colleges such as jbims rarely do advertising.. i am not sure about branded college is india..but yes i wish they would happen soon..
