Is even one of our institutions world class?

If it is world class, it must be in top 100,150 institutions in the world. That is not evident

-Kapil Sibal, Union HRD Minister

It was unfortunate to hear such statements from our own representatives. But wait...don't you think there is a need to read over the above statement once again? Specially "it must be in top 100,150 institutions in the world".

The IIT's and IIM's, regarded as the top class institutions "in INDIA" have no place in the top 150?

Yes, the stats are true, these institutions have no place in the top 150. No use of battling over the issue, but let's think of how to place them in the top 150!...?

Point wise approach

1) In India the primary problem is excessive bureaucratic control in higher education.

2) A centralised process of faculty recruitment combined with fixed salaries has entrenched complacency.

3) With little initiative to pilot high end research, industry too misses out on levaraging university research to solve practical problems.

4) We search for "quality" universities in the US for higher education...and do you know the demand from the massive annual outflow of foreign exchange?

A storming $10 billion.

5) Our neighbors, Malaysia and Singapore have research hubs, whereas Indian institutions are back of making their own institutions/university No.1

For example: The regular fight between Narayana and Sri Chaitanya Jr.Colleges.

We have to have a hub of research "institutions", the word "INSTITUTIONS" itself states unity.

Finally tweaking of government policies to provide more autonomy to institutions, thus allowing private investment in education.

So let's soon, expect the IIT's and IIM's in the top 150.
