It is a combination of both. IIT Kanpur, although still well renowned, does not have the same 'prestige' as it used to, having lost to IIT Bombay. It is also a matter of numbers: most top universities in India have class sizes of about 100, which makes it even more difficult in an environment where every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to pursue CS. To answer your question about the next ten years, I suppose the only institute that can potentially appear is IIIT-Hyderabad, although even that is highly doubtful. And yes, IITs are far, far ahead of nearly all engineering colleges in India, so far ahead of most institutes that it might be prudent just to take a gap year to prepare for JEE.
