The list is derived from MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science faculty list posted on their website as on December 7, 2003 ( MIT EECS Faculty ).

Does IIT Kanpur 'Mafia' Rule MIT EECS

Arvind, the lone IIT Kanpur alumni out of over 170 faculty memebers, must be incredibly strong to be the 'mafia godfather'.

Thanks to Ajith who alerted me to omission of George C. Verghese, an IIT Madras (Chennai) graduate. With at least 4 members, IIT Chennai Mafia rules MIT EE-CS department. ;)
