India’s higher education
system is the third largest in the world, next to that of US and
China. It has expanded at a fast pace with the addition of nearly
20,000 colleges and more than 8 million students in the last one
decade. As of now we have 42 central universities, 275 state
universities, 130 deemed universities, 90 private universities, 5
institutions established and functioning under the State Act, and 33
Institutes of National Importance. Other institutions include 33,000
colleges as Government degree colleges and private degree colleges,
including 1800 exclusive women’s colleges.
Some institutions of
India such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian
Institutes of Management (IIMs), National Institutes of Technology
(NITs), and Jawaharlal Nehru University have been globally acclaimed
for their standard of education.
Higher education in India has
been undergoing continuous systemic changes. Conceptualization of
its paradigms, patterns and perspectives is far from static. Change
in its future shape is inevitable. Response to this change is one of
the major concerns of higher education. Globalization, privatization
and technological advancements are the dominant factors forcing the
convergence of all the modes of higher education in India.
The
book is an anthology of articles contributed by professors, scholars
and educationists bringing to light various issues relating to
higher education in India including privatization, language access,
challenges before technical education, quality assurance,
accreditation and assessment, innovative reforms in the examination
system, global challenges and opportunities, unfair practices and
their legal aspects, etc. It will be useful for students and
teachers of education, educationists and will be of interest to
those concerned with the quality of education in India..
