“Changing Face of Professional Education in India with Institute – Industry Partnership”

By the beginning of the second Millennium, many countries realized the need and necessity to cope up with the rest of the rapidly developing world. As they realized this necessity, they also realized that the key to growth and development is, indeed, education. As a result, many countries around the world entered the heated race of reforming their education systems hoping that this would ensure them a foothold in the modern world.

Higher education has a vast history; beginning in the early colonial period and spanning ten generations. With its wide range of history, aspects of higher education have changed as the ideals and reforms of society adjusted. Albeit, the missions and purposes of college have remained the same. In this paper, I will clarify the three main missions and purposes of higher education. Then, I will shift the focus of the paper to the area I would like to pursue in higher education and how it reflects those purposes.

Undergraduate enrollment has been steadily increasing through the years and it is projected that it go up by 2.1 million students in the next 10 years (NCES). Yet, it is highly doubtful that there would be enough new jobs for those students; therefore, causing an even bigger completive market. Also, candidates who are able to attend better institutes of higher education will most likely be exposed to better learning experience which will surely boost their chance of scoring the employment compared to others less fortunate such as

Thus, many international students face obstacles in their path as they pursue higher education outside home countries. They face problems, such as different food, difference in living circumstances, financial issues, difference in studying schedules, learning styles, and difficulties related to language, culture, and personal barriers. If Indian colleges are going to include international students on their campuses, these issues should be addressed and

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare it for today” said Malcolm X. As we all know, education is the one of the key features for the development of any country. To obtain the versatile workers the government should take care for the education of student from an elementary pupil to college student. A majority of high developed countries aim to retain the ministry of education and educational system sophisticated and updated. For example, in some countries such as China, Finland and Turkey, teachers and professors are immensely respected and in most European countries a teacher is regarded as a highly paid profession. To upgrade the

If we look into the present scenario it is well admitted that management education is struggling very hard to survive with the rapid changing global scenario. At times it is difficult for management educators to make relevant with the changing time and technology.

Thus, along with my work I did my Post Graduation in Human Resource Management through one of the well known management institute, ‘Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies’. My professional experience helped me to understand the business traits and knowhow of business management thus letting me successfully complete my course in the year 2009. I also did Train the Trainer’s program and got certified as a Soft Skills and Behavioral Trainer, so that I can be a better mentor and guide to my team and a consistent performer and can meet up the expectations of my

My previous education was management (majoring finance). Since beginning I have strong passion and curiosity about Management. I was very interested about management because it learned me more about leadership and how to control the organization and business. During four years, I have learned management at university of Padjadjaran and joined a lot of organization in my university. Because I reliazed management without practice was nothing, so I had practiced my management knowledges through student organizations when I was student. I also learned about how to set up the goals and manage part of business such as human resources, operational, finance, and marketing. But I never practiced it in real life, because management education system only taught about sciences with limited practices for Bachelor Degree. So that’s why, I

Indian higher education is not only large in scope but complex in its working and evolution. One indicator is existence of four different types of universities depending on who funds them and regulates them. For example, Deemed to be Universities come under the purview of UGC and are mostly funded by private resources. They were also in controversy for corruption and qualitative deficiencies for profiteering. This also tainted the name of some of the better quality private Deemed to be Universities. Given the regulatory and media attention to the deficiencies with Deemed to be Universities, Private Universities gained attraction. This is evident from their growth from 100 to 140 in less than a year as compared to no growth of Deemed to be Universities in the same period. The private universities are working hard to attract students away from central and state universities by offering differentiated courses incorporating features like triple mains, super-specializations, dual degrees, integrated programs, CBCS, and industry

Given the rising cost of higher education, the state of higher education is cemented given the value

In our scenario, Learning, Training and Development plays a very crucial role in the career and succession planning for the new employees in India, as they may not have the technical skillset as well as cultural and management aligned with corporate strategy.

The second barrier standing in the way of the process of obtaining professional and vocational education was this: ‘It is physically very difficult to get to school’ as indicated by our respondents. At present, in the Russian Federation, only 10 percent of universities provide not only architectural but, first and foremost, educational and methodological accessibility of higher education for disabled students, demonstrating a proper level of professional and pedagogical competence of the teaching staff.

Education is a process by which values are assimilated. Same values that lead us to achieve intellectual knowledge about rights, laws, and history. Education is intrinsically important to development because it makes people competent and skilled. At national, regional and international levels competent and skilled people are an important element of society; because more prepared people mean greater contributions to society. These are also important characteristics to avoid making the same mistakes and to reach higher incomes based on production. This is why education is considered important for social and economic development of a country. A country that doesn’t make education a priority is doomed to fade into mediocrity. In the wealth or poverty of a country depends on the quality of education. It is necessary to dignify education; a prepared populations is competitive, which attracts foreign investment that benefits production and at the same time it also benefits incomes.

The mode of financing higher education in the public sector is central to higher education policy making because it reflects how education is provided to society and at what price. It also indicates the policy stance of the government towards higher education. (Chattopadhay 2007).Once the government has initiated economic reform policies and had frozen budgets for higher education, financial reforms were unveiled. In the post economic reforms period, since 1991 till today, different commission and committees have been constituted by the government or its agencies on higher education.

Education, in the modern area, is the way we pass knowledge from one generation to the next. In an era of increasing technological complexity, this knowledge is vital for our children to learn to be able to become productive global citizens. Since the real object of education should be to prepare learners for a work force, whether that is technological or vocational, educational institutions must
