MUMBAI, India (AP) - A half-hour before the clock strikes midnight, India's top technology institute pulls the plug on Internet access in students' dorm rooms.
Attend classes, turn out for sports and socialize. That's the Indian Institute of Technology's message to students, many of whom were showing up for class bleary-eyed, if it all, after late nights spent Internet surfing and gaming.
"We found attendance for the first lecture at 8:30 a.m. was falling," said Aruna Thosar-Dixit, an IIT spokeswoman. "Students were not alert, they were sleepy, some were even sleeping."
