Following up this & an earlier criticism of my posting:
Perhaps I used too strong a language in response to the 10 year idea.
I wasn't justifying mine or other IIT graduates selfishness- won't get
into thoughts about my personal plans here. It seems the 10 year restriction
for IIT (or other) graduates would hurt more than it would help.
It would lead to (1) Fewer IIT graduates remaining in the technological
areas they were trained for and (2) Fewer or *ZERO* faculty and
personnel in technical enterprises in India, with the benefit 
of having had training in technologically advanced countries. Not too
many people would want to do their PhDs while in their early thirties.
