Subject: Scheme/ Social sector

Context:

Most of India’s top higher education institutions including at least 10 Institution of Eminences (IoE) have slipped in the latest edition of the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings (WUR) released recently.

Concept:

Report findings:

  • Overall, 21 Indian universities and institutes have found a place this year among the world’s top 1,000. But last year it was 25.
  • The ranking agency attributed the “regressive performance” of Indian institutions to low levels of internationalization and faculty-student ratio.
  • While no Indian institution is among the world’s top 100, there are, however, 26 Asian universities that have made it. Of them, Mainland China and South Korea have six each, Hong Kong and Japan have five each, Singapore has two universities and Malaysia and Taiwan have one each.

    • Academic collaborations with foreign higher educational institutions (in top 500) would be exempt from government approvals.
    • Freedom to hire personnel from industry, etc, as faculty who are experts in their areas but may not have the requisite higher academic qualifications.
    • Freedom to recruit faculty from outside India (limit of 25% of its faculty strength for public institution).
    • Freedom to offer courses within a program as well as to offer degrees in newer areas, including inter-disciplinary ones, after approval of its Governing Council and conforming to the minimum prevailing standards.
