Students push institutes to deliver quality education

However, experts are taking the development with a positive spirit, attributing it to cut-throat competition among institutes.
The principal of a popular government-run management institute told DNAon condition of anonymity: “For management and engineeringprofessional degrees, the main concern for students is placements. Now, if the institute is not industry recognised, it is likely to face issues in placements.”
“Also, while the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) is giving approvals, there are manynew institutes cropping up that lack qualified faculties and industry recognition. Students obviously choose not to opt for such colleges, leaving seats vacant.This will help retain the standard of education,” the principal added.
A DTE official, requesting anonymity, said: “Students have shown no preference for many colleges offering engineering as well as management courses. These colleges then came to the DTE with complaints. So, we have put up the vacancy chart online for public view.”
Some feel that this will elicit cut-throat competition among educational institutes.
has spent huge amounts starting an institute will want to shut it down immediately just because there are no students. So to survive, each will compete to give quality education. This will lead to positive competition.”
An AICTE official, who did not wished to be named, said:
“Colleges will compete to keep up standards to continue the student flow and ensure their survival.
The worst of the lot will eventually have to shut down themselves.”
