Now these days it’s been observed that students go for higher studies with less or no interest. Sometimes they take it casually. Moreover, there are very few institutions in India who are giving quality inputs to students.
At one end we claim that in education India would rank 3rd among all countries by 2020. If we observe overall ranking of relevant institutions it’s seen that in the year 2000, out of 500 there were 2 Indian Universities / Institutes were featured in the list and 1 institution from China.
Now almost after a decade in 2010 the tables have changed with only 1 institution from India being featured and 32 institutions are featured from China.
It specifically spells out, how much we are lagging behind in terms of overall % of higher educational institutions, number of students pursuing higher education. We are not only beaten in by the developing and developed countries in terms of GDP, Exchange of foreign currency but also in terms of number of students pursuing higher education.
Budget allocation by Govt. of India as per 2012 plan is about 6 % which is not going to be adequate, and therefore allocation must be made appropriately, i.e. minimum 10 % in order to improve the scenario. Basic education must reach to maximum number of children from different strata of the society so that they are eligible to pursue higher education.
Above these institutions are must also concentrate on giving the good quality information to the student. Institutions must constantly update the syllabus in order to improve the skills of students so that they can face the challenges and adapt with the changing market scenario. They can achieve this by introducing new practices area and research work, updating the syllabus etc. If these kinds of developments show results in our country then students would be attracted more to the higher studies which will in turn fulfill corporate expectations. Efforts should also be taken to guide, mentor students and parents to develop and retain interest amongst students.
