Challenges in the Higher Technical Education System: 1.

2. Lack of Information: Everybody( i.e. Institutes and Universities) claim that they are number one and once a person take admission he knows the actual truth and then he becomes very negative. If some of these information can be provided with a proper research base then atleast person will be knowing that what exactly he will be getting in campus and prepare himself accordingly.
3. Information availability in local language : This is one of the another aspect that the client in education system is not student, it is the parent which ultimately need to buy the product. Still 70-75% parent are comfortable with their own language, they do not understand English. This is one of the bigger challenge to put all that information in the local language and make that available to the mass of audience.
4. Affordability: In last few years the cost of getting education has increased phenomenally ( upto 10 times in some segment). Very challenging for lower middle class to cope up with the same.
5. Trust and Credibility: This is one of the important factor one need to understand. It take years to create trust and it took minutes in which trust goes away. Whatever the business model, it should have room around a certain level of trust and credibility that should not be that high which can be broken with a single instance but a moderate one so that a large segment can believe us.
6. Course Structure and Industry Academia Interface:
   1. A management student have to study 52 papers in 20 months time, each paper has got 30-35 sessions, (1.25 Hrs per session).
   2. These institutes are in connection with major corporate, students think and treat these as employment exchange, campus placement is the main attraction for students.
   3. Engg and Management students in private Institute take private tuitions at hoe or in coaching centers.
   4. The parents pay abnormal money to put their kid in Engg and MBA institute as if thinking that they will get Nirvana, which is not actually true.
7. Employability: A few years back McKinsey-Nasscom report came out that India needs quality man power, but here again McKinsey said that only 25% of the grads are employable, to be honest only 15% are employable the balance is all junk product. Few more survey on the same line and length showed that only 4% of the Indian graduated youth is workable on the development and research job and rest 20% which NASSCOM says employable can work in ITES companies.
8. Employment: In India we are majorly dealing with middle class or lower middle class. In that segment, the person who is going for a higher education degree might be first generation engineer/doctor. His family puts all his saving/land in the education of the student. If after completion there are no job options it hearts lot of people. That’s why we have a huge demand of skill oriented courses which can lead to immediate job with these higher technical education degree programs.
9. Government Policies: In India we are still living in the license raj in the education system and we have multiple regulatory bodies which take care of the affiliation process, course curriculum, semester system etc. All this is not created as per the current demand but it is created as per some old people in the government system who might not seen any industry in their lifetime.
10. Lack of Interaction with each other i.e. Collaboration : This is another important aspect in which these campuses has failed. Now we are living in a global word and even the big companies are doing merger, acquisition, collaborations, partnerships, joint ventures, innovative business models to support each other. But these so called big campuses have not talked with each other. There are various initiatives which can be done in the come with the collaboration.\
    1. Just for an example : If I have a do a fest in collaboration with 5-6 campuses of greater noida, then it might be the biggest institute level event in Asia or may be in the world with the participation of more than 1 lac people physically and 4-5 lac people online.
    2. Placement Drive: If one need to do a placement drive for the UP technical students then we need to hire pragati maidan for the same and we can have the biggest placement pool campus in this world.

p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Quality Education: In the higher education the private engineering and management colleges has come up, but there is a very big question mark, that's the quality of students and the quality of faculty. In India most of the people who started the educational institute did not know about the technical education. Because of high growth there were a dearth of good quality people who can run the system well and which ultimately leads to the lack of quality problems at each step in the technical education scenario.

The root cause of most of the above problems is lack of information. This system needs a platform which can address most of the above issues at single place.
