The much-hyped Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's town hall event at Delhi IIT is likely to be anything but a live and spontaneous exchange of ideas.
He is expected to respond to only those questions that have been already been submitted and selected.
While there is no information on the format of the event, which is being managed by Facebook team, The Economic Times quoted a student saying Mark Zuckerberg would not take direct questions.
The student is among the lucky 10% of Delhi IIT students, who have been selected to attend the Town hall. But that may not prevent the discussion from veering into issues Mark Zuckerberg may not like to highlight during his visit - such as opposition to his pet project Free Basics.
Mark Zuckerberg is in India to give a push to Free Basics, which critics say is a challenge to Net Neutrality.
The meeting venue has a seating capacity for 1,100 and 900 of the seats have been reserved for
students. Facebook reportedly selected students to attend the event using lottery.
