GRIEVANCES TEACHERS’ CLASS Upgrading Higher Education Higher Education a perspective To uphold the values and ambit of higher education, Higher Education in general is education after the following problems need to be addressed: secondary level leading to degree or diploma. In most The semester exams are an integral part of the of the developed countries Higher Education are autonomous. Higher is a curriculum. But, in the midst of the exams, the dates for concurrent subject governed by state governments at valuation is announced. This will have a severe effect state level and by UGC, IMC and AICTE at central on the conduct of exams as the faculty will be more level. There are essentially three broad models interested to go for valuation as it is mandatory. This existing in India, Affiliated institutions, Autonomous approach belittles the process of exams and at the same institutions and Universities. Over and above there time the pains of the examination committee is are autonomous institutions created by the act of completely ignored. This is a case of conflict of interest. parliament like IITs, IISc, NITs etc. which give their This is an urgent issue. own degrees. The affiliated institutions virtually are The assignment of ministerial work to the faculty is a those institutions which work on master-slave principle and have to implement the admission, serious erosion of upgrading of higher education. The academic and administrative requirements as per the faculty need to be encouraged into research and extra- affiliating university’s statutes and state academic activities. But, here we see a situation where government’s norms. The Autonomous institutions the faculty appear like the additional posts of the office do have the liberty of framing their own curriculum staff. This is a devaluing development.

These are gagged by the guidelines of The collegiate faculty are living in the myth of holidays. the universities. Universities do have a lot of The general impression is that there are 2 months of academic freedom but handicapped by heterogeneous student population. Thus this holiday which is a mirage. The examination process structure also suffers from societal demands, social lasts for nearly 20-25 days immediately followed by justice and government’s expectations. The higher valuation followed by reopening which does not leave education is thus tied by many constraints. any room for holidays. There must be a structured closure for, say, 15-20 days which the faculty can enjoy In the 11th plan itself the central government initiated quality time.

The policy also talked about 15 days of EL /year as they work all round the year as encouraging institutions – public or private – to given to the ministerial staff for doing the ‘regular’ engage in stretching the frontiers of knowledge. work. TEQIP was one of such initiatives. To ensure that state governments also are in line with this policy It is my humble view that small changes brought in the state planning and facilitation units were created and system may change the attitude of the faculty towards a small financial commitment was made mandatory. an inclusive involvement rather than acting out of force The policy also talked about promoting the quality of or compulsion. higher education by investing in infrastructure, faculty, promoting academic reforms, improving Dr. Poornima G R governance and institutional restructuring.

to degree granting institutions. The various committees India can talk of its own products only if this happens have also recommended more academic autonomy to on a large scale.There seems to be lack of Strategic institutions, but neither the affiliating universities nor the governments seem to have been serious. The Planning and step motherly attitude even towards Accreditation agencies are playing their role is performing private players. The government in its decelerating the process. Higher Education being under 12th plan talks of establishment of innovation the concurrent list is also affecting the curriculum and universities, expansion of existing institutions and a standards of assessment which vary from state to state focus on better quality in research, infrastructure, and university to university. No doubt that the IITs get the faculty and curriculum content. This can only happen chunk of so called brilliant brains of the country but one of if private players are treated on par with government the personalities commented that before getting into IITs student target admission into IITs after admission they and government aided institutions. No doubt quality target foreign assignments or MBA. comes through creating awareness among the faculty and students the importance of modern technology It is therefore the responsibility of engineering colleges to and its usage in teaching and learning, like virtual improve the quality of their graduates to fit into Indian class rooms and laboratories. But at the same time employment market. The colleges need to reach the bench pedagogy training and removing obsolescence in marks set by industries. The role of Compliance agencies laboratories by acquiring new infrastructure should and industry themselves will play an important role in improving the Quality. But these agencies need to train be given top priority. This involves financial their assessors. Assessors need to know the skills of implications. The only way out is differential fee assessment and minimum bench mark requirements. They structure based on the quality of providing cannot be emotional and biased. The expectations from sophisticated equipment and research initiatives. the affiliated colleges, autonomous affiliated colleges, IITs, Government should see that running quality NITs and Universities need to be clearly demarked. The institutions are made viable irrespective of its status. quality of input and expectations of stake Holders need to be taken into account. The learning processes and Also aspiring parent or student need to know the cost outcomes of IIT graduates cannot be compared with that of education in every college so that they can plan of autonomous affiliated colleges. The main reason for well. If income and expenditure match, capitation fee such a distinction is the heterogeneity of students, the will automatically vanish. Corporate can also play a socio culture issues, quality of faculty, infrastructure and big role in this aspect. They can adopt or support biased attitude of stakeholders. There are students who institutions by sponsoring laboratories and programs. opt to be in autonomous colleges rather than going to In turn institutions will be happy to give NITs or IITs but the tribe is low. No doubt everyone wants graduates to have similar aptitudes may it be from opportunities to employees from industries to , engineering, commerce or medicine. In reality this upgrade their qualification and register for PhD is not possible as the family back ground, regional issues programs. This will be a win-win situation and bring and socio economic issues play a big role. quality into the academic processes. We all comment To achieve the benchmarks, support of governments and that there is no Indian university or institution in top industries is primary. We have been talking of industry- 200 of the world but are we finding solutions? How institution interaction for several years now, but there has many of the top brass managing the universities and been hardly any noteworthy progress. Under the CSR industries need to support the academia voluntarily but institution know the criterion on which rankings are not by force. There need to be a strategic approach and done. If the government brings out a plan to target policy by industries irrespective of who is spear heading. these measuring criterion and bring awareness things Experience shows that the interaction depends on the top could be improved. In conclusion for quality higher people occupying the chairs both at the institutional level education it is necessary that all the stake holders as well as industry level. In foreign universities we find lot work in synergy keeping affiliations aside. of interaction between industries and universities in the form of infrastructure development, curriculum Prof.K.N.Raja Rao, Advisor, development, sabbaticals, chairs etc. This definitely R.V.College of Engineering, Bengaluru improves the quality of learning and research.
