Well majority of private Institutes converted into deemed university to 1. get university status and prestige 2.Seal of acceptance 3.Freedom to charge huge fees which are 3-5 times original amount allowed by state sector controlling university ( A major reason for going the deemed way) 4.And experiment with syllabus in name of latest syllabus which no one there understands. These so called deemed universities claiming excellence and criticising government owned obsolete third rate universities ,but rightly, however are seized by same old outdated third rate professors from government sector only as rules demand this.
In fact these deemed universities have become state run universities per se and backyards or extension of state owned sick setups. So who is benefiting? No one, except retired and working professors of public sector universities.They only are working there and they are also inspectors from UGC.Great mockery is going on in country. Research -a fancy word: Every one talks of research.That is another big joke in India.All these great professors and great universities put together cant claim even 0.1 % contribution to globally accepted and original research work since 1947 to now.Research has become fashionable word in universities to harass private sector by these 'cut and paste' profs of old universities.When some professor in India talks of technology area research , I cant help but laugh.Majority of publications are trash work. These guys are not even from mainstream disciplines.Every one is minting money and has free for all.Whateveer research is being done is done in Industry or Industry sponsored projects only.Students are being looted and doled out third rate education in the same State type set ups. Owners are happy as they are making huge money too.Most are failed businessmen and traders.Why should they bother and what they can do also if they want to do? Indian education is in clutches of babus,third rate obsolete fraudulent academicians and politicians.In technical education, it is strange that people from industry have been completely sidelined by UGC and AICTE now.This only shows these third rate professors' foul intentions to corner teaching posts and directorships.They hardly know what is business and what is industry research and how research is done and why and even what is technology. The situation is pathetic.The best tool with them was to isolate industry people and clamp PhD ( another third rate degree in India of summer training level) requirements.The logical thing would have been to have a simply 6 months research technique orientation course for industry people for teaching positions.At least 50% posts should be reserved for industry stream in the faculty and Director should be always from industry and professions.It is fallacy created by these state sector professors that research is some thing mysterious capability and heavenly and only PhD holders can understand it.Fact is industry does much more research than all IITs,IIMs,Universities put together in India. We should not compare ourselves to USA,UK or Germany.There professors are entirely different types.Both central government and students should rise to occasion and kick out retired stuff from private universities and institutes and demand faculty from industry and business. The joke is when I took a PhD holder from premier institute of India to a big lectric motor and asked to identify terminal box of motor he could not do so.In another case I asked a Dean and PhD in electric engineering in a state run university in Rajasthan about selection of a distribution cable type (4 core or 3 core and why)for power and its criteria.He simply disappeared. What kind of research these idiots do?The whole technical and higher education in India is a mockery and damaging to national interest.The system is now totally sick.All these rules are being made by UGC , AICTE and Ministry to arm twist businessmen to dole out money.It is all money and power game.People should understand this. India is way and way behind in education at higher technology level.Most of it is fraudulent.I also know this as my own children are studying in Canada and my nephews in USA study including at Harvard and I know the standards there.Time has come to kick out old stuff from technical higher education and bring in role of industry and consultancy people and reform whole setup and dismantle UGC and AICTE type sick organisations full of babudom and corruption.Fees should be reduced in India again.If deemed universities are fraudulent, the public owned state universities in India are more fradulent and sick( most of the professors work elesewhere or teach in other institutes only) and the new breed of state promoted private universities (section 2(f))are equally bad and farcical. So why go after only deemed universities? Take all of these to task. I have great hope from industry and students community to come forward and join us for reforms movements.We should sense the dramatics of these babus and politicians.Finally nothing will come out after a few years and only money will chnage hands.I would invite those who think otherwise than above mentioned facts to join the issues and prove us wrong.
