Perhaps I was somewhat negligent in the summary I provided, though it appears a few users noticed anyway. This article is about a "school" within Kalinga Institute for Industrial Training. This Institute is not a higher-level education provider, and does not confer degrees to its graduates, but rather is a typical technical institute. See listing of programs offered at KIIT Moreover, the article is inappropriately titled. As far as I see, these are the options:

1. Move to IBAT or Institute of Business Administration and Training if you want this article kept as is
2. Move to Kalinga Institute for Industrial Training if you believe the institute is important, but the school isn't (again - the school is one part of the institute)
3. Delete if you believe that neither the school, nor the institute with which it is affiliated, deserve an article.

As stated in my summary, I believe the latter option makes the most sense. Mindmatrix 00:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
