  1. Karnataka State Universities Act Academic Staff College University of Mysore Prof. K.S Suresh JSS Law College Autonomous. Mysore

  2. What Ails Indian Universities “If you plan for a year, plant a seed.If for ten years, plant a tree.If for a hundred years, teach the people” “When you sow one seed,You will reap a single harvest.When you teach the people,You will reap a hundred harvests” JSS Law College

  3. Post Independence Scenario - Era of subsidies • Three million students leave schools, every year, to join 417+ universities. • There are only about 150 Deemed Universities and 26000+ colleges to meet this demand. • Average monthly Tuition Fee in India is equal to a cup of coffee in Café Coffee Day. • The Fee ranges from Rs.30 to 100 per month, except in few Private Universities. • Fee is frozen since 1960. It barely accounts 5-6% of actual cost. Where as in US it is 60% and 27% in China. JSS Law College

  4. Post Independence Scenario - Era of subsidies • At St. Stephan’s College, Delhi for Liberal Arts course the fee is Rs.360 per year. Where as in US at Amherst College it is Rs.14 Lakh/ year. • In Delhi University average fee is Rs.180/ year. • Harward University charges Rs.14.6 Lakh/ year • The Indian Taxpayers pay Rs.32,900 crore to fund higher education. • Only 6,000-7,000 admitted to IITs after grueling entrance test which is heavily subsidised. • But the salary they get is 9-10 Lakh/year i.e., double the fee. JSS Law College

  5. Unscientific Fee Pattern • Now IIMs and IITshave increased their fees 5 – 11.5 lakh (Ahmedabad) 5 – 8 lakh (Bangalore) 4 – 8 lakh (Calcutta) • The hike of Tuition Fee in US and UK is 14% every year. • China Charges 27% of the cost. • Higher education is regarded as ‘private good’ for which market forces should determine the fee. • Subsidy has resulted in poor infrastructure, lack of talented faculty. • Govtis spending less and less by the year on Higher education. 1991 - 92 – 7676/ student. 1993 – 94 – 5500 / student. (Steep cut in library allocation). • NASSCOM survey indicates that 75% of Engineering graduates of 1346 colleges are unemployabl.e • Only 10 -15 % of students of 26000+ Arts, Commerce colleges are industry ready. JSS Law College

  6. Pathetic Condition of Indian Higher Education • Of the 500 top colleges/ Universities none of the Indian college figures. • National Knowledge Commission recommends that 20% of the cost should be met by tuition fee. • Top private schools charge 1000-4000 P.M. Top students of these schools grab most of the seats of premier institutes like IIM, JNU, University of Delhi, St. Stephens etc.,. • Upper and Middle class students reap highest benefit of subsidy. JSS Law College

  7. Pathetic Condition of Indian Higher Education • Professional education seat sharing formal is 65:35. • In TMAPai’s case Supreme Court permitted private institutions to design there admission and charge fee accordingly. • But political interference create problem in fee hike e.g., Lucknow University increased fee from Rs. 300 to Rs. 1162 which resulted in political unrest. • Delhi University Tuition Fee is frozen since 60 years at Rs.180, resulting in huge deficit and vacancy in teaching posts. JSS Law College

  8. Pathetic Condition of Indian Higher Education • 417+ Universities for 110 crore population • India has 18% of world population • 2.6% land mass • People 25-61 age group is highest in the world. • Nearly half of the population is less than 30 years of age. • 61% of universities are ‘B’ grade. • 23% are ‘C’ grade • 16% are ‘A’ grade JSS Law College

  9. Funding of Higher Education • Autonomy has not resulted in fee revision in college. Alumni donations are penalized. • Heavy subsidization has not helped at tertiary level, in access to higher education. Admission at Tertiary level is as follows: India - 9% US - 83% UK - 60% China - 20% • De-factoprivatization in professional colleges has taken place. Hardly any move of privatization at the level of University education. • Heavily deficit and over extended central and states funding of Higher Education. • According Knowledge Commission the funding for higher education in India is 0.7% GDP, where as it is 2.9% US, and 0.5 in China. JSS Law College

  10. N.K.C. on Higher Education • Higher Education out layshall be raised to 1.5% of 6%. • 1500 colleges to be added to current pool of 26000 colleges to improve tertiary level education to reach 15% • Under 11th Plan, Planning commission has recommended for 2,36,997 crore for higher education, an addition of 47,399 crore to previous plan period. • This is not sufficient unless heavy private and foreign investment is made in higher education • Liberalization and deregulation is a must. • Industry and Government are suffering from unprecedented shortage of funds and skilled labour. • Indian academy should improve if 8% growth is to be maintained steadily. JSS Law College

  11. Education as a long term investment. US System. • “NEEDS BLIND ADMISSION SYSTEM”- followed in 38 US top private universities including Harward, Princeton, Yale and Brown. • During admission students’ fee paying ability is not verified. • Admission is made only on competence and merit and Tuition fee is determined later. • ‘Need’ formula is applied by providing financial aid. • No meritorious student is ever denied admission. Endowment corpus; Harward - $34 Billion Yale - $22.5 Billion Stanford - $17.2 Million JSS Law College

  12. US System US success is due to following reasons: • Appropriateness of Tuition Fee student and parents should contribute at least public funded universities. • Tradition of honest revealing of income and expenditure by universities for documentation purpose. • A tradition of Philanthropy which helps accumulation of corpuses • In US $56 billion is given in student loans and aid. • Loans and Scholarship are a must for a genuine and meritorious student. JSS Law College

  13. National Knowledge Commission Recommendations • It has made 200 recommendations on 26 issues. • Govt. support should increase from 0.7% to 1.5%. • To transform 550 million people under 24 yrs to be the part of Knowledge Society. • Better asset management – Universities sit on a large reservoir of untapped resources. • Rationalization of fees - Tuition fee should recover 10% to 20% of the cost. • Un-qualified and unintended beneficiaries to be excluded. • Philanthropic contribution is declining and needs resurrection. It was 12% in 1950 and 3% in 1990. • Need for reform in Tax and Trust laws. • Other resources - Not purely as commercial activities. • Rs. 2,70,000 crore allocation in 11th Plan – 6% of GDP for Education JSS Law College

  16. What can be done ? • How many of us teach from the original text, not just the text books but the source books?. • How many of us teach from the notes that we prepared years ago? • How many of us have even seen a journal, leave aside opening and reading, after getting into this job? • How many of us are aware of the current advances in our subjects? • How many of us subscribe to magazines from our own money and read them to find out what is happening around us? • How many of us debate about the events and policies around us and contribute to opinion-making? JSS Law College

  17. What can be done ? • How many of us even know where our past students are at this moment? • What jobs they are doing and if they are doing research, what are the areas they are researching? • How many of us love teaching, truly love teaching? • How many of us prepare for a class even today? There is a lot to prepare actually. The subjects are not dead. They keep moving ahead and the things written in the text books are where the subject was about 5 years ago. How many of us prepare for telling the students where the subject actually stands today? • How many of us do not scold the students when they ask a question discomfiting us? • How many of us realize that we indulged in as much fun and frolic when we were students and the current batch of students are doing just that? Only the medium has become different from our own. JSS Law College
