The purpose of the study is to identify the need of Media Information Literacy pedagogy in IITs through model curriculum if, proposed across the programme and courses. In this regard a survey was conducted with a well structured questionnaire for collection of data from targeted population with a sample of 1054 students of selected IITs of Northern India. Findings of the study demonstrate that 25 per cent to 30 per cent students welcome MIL curriculum for regular pedagogy.
