Engineering lowering of standard!
To fill up the vacant seats in private engineering colleges quality of engineering education is largely compromised. All India Council for Technical Education that is supposed to improve the standard of engineering education in our country becomes instrumental in degrading it simply because corporate houses that have invested crores of rupees for establishing engineering colleges are financially suffering for dearth of students.So eligibility for admission to engineering colleges has been made drastically low.A student can get him/herself admitted to engineering faculty even without appearing at JEE exams.Mere 45% marks in physics ,Chemistry and Maths in H.S exam are sufficient for one to seek admission to an engineering College.What's most ludicrous is initially this percentage of marks was fixed at 50% but still it failed to serve the purpose and so the percentage was further lowered.No body knows required marks might not be again decreased if seats still remain vacant in engineering colleges.Now the question is will different companies recruit these low grade engineers?Engineering education in private colleges has now been very much expensive.After spending so much of money if these students fail to secure jobs, will not they be extremely frustrated?

Money can purchase degree has been in practice in medical education in private institutions such as Manipal University where where 30-35 lakhs can ensure admission in MBBS course. So moneyed people can have the access to any sort of degrees.
ReplyDeleteNow education as a whole being partially corporatised with the push for total privatisation
Government abdicating its responsibility to the people, this process has simply accelerated having no visible opposition in sight.With the decline of the power of Leftist forces in the parliament UPA-2 Govt is speeding up all sorts of anti people policies at its sweet will or in fact under the direction of the corporate sectors inside and outside the country. IN THE DAYS TO COME the IITs and other premier institutions will also have similar fate. Perhaps that anti people and anti national trends could be reversed by sustained struggle of the people of our country.
