1.1 THE PARADIGM SHIFT IN EDUCATION IN INDIA

The higher education system in today’s scenario is faced with many challenges like

competitiveness, management, financing and reorientation of program by laying equal

emphasis on quality of higher education, ethics and values together with the assessment

of educational institutions and their accreditation. In the 21st century, the higher education

can be used as a powerful tool to build knowledge based society.

Higher education should be viewed as a long-term social investment for the promotion of

social cohesion, cultural development, economic growth, equity and justice. Indian higher

education system can address itself to the global challenges through maintaining the right

balance between the need and the demand and channelizing teaching, research and

extension activities. It is thus required to bring quality of highest standards in every

sphere of work. The needs and expectations of the society are changing at a fast pace and

hence the quality of higher education needs to be enhanced at a commensurate level.

Quality would depend on the quality of all the parameters and stakeholders, be it the

students, faculty, staff, infrastructure etc. For attaining quality in these regards, all the

processes, systems and policies have to be clearly directed towards making improvements

in all the relevant dimensions in a sustained manner.

Following are few challenges for the Indian education system:

(i) Innovations required – The curriculum of many of the colleges / universities is

more or less obsolete and do not impart latest knowledge to the students or do not

equip them with the necessary skills. Due to this fact, the employability of the

passed out students comes in question. It is needed to scale up the educational

efforts which would be possible when the students become successful, create

value in the society and contribute back to their alma-mater or start new institutes

of global standards themselves. The schools / colleges / universities should

regularly revise their curriculum by involving experts from different fields in

order to focus on the knowledge development. There is a need to motivate

teachers to participate by presenting research papers in workshops / seminars /

conferences and receive periodic trainings for the regular updating of their skills /

[17]

knowledge. A feedback mechanism from the students should also be introduced in

the colleges / universities so as to assess and evaluate the teacher’s role in the

institutional developmental process.

(ii) Investment in education – The Indian government is planning to spend around Rs

25275 crore on the higher education during the year 2012-13. If we measure the

expenses on education as a percentage to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), India

lags behind some of the developing / developed nations of the world. This gap in

the investments in education in India can be filled by the private sector playing a

vital role.

(iii) Student-faculty ratio – In India, the student-faculty ratio is very high as compared

to the other countries in the world. For example, in the developed countries this

ratio stands at 11.4. In Western Asia it is 15.3 and in Latin America it is 16.6.

While in the case of India, it is as high as 22.0. Therefore, the focus should be

given to recruit the quality teachers and later on developing their skills /

knowledge through research and extensions.

(iv) Infrastructure facilities – The inability to provide the necessary physical

infrastructure to run upcoming colleges / institutions / universities (both in private

and public sectors) is the one of the main factors of low capacity utilization. It is

needed to ensure apolitical private sector participation in the establishment of

institutes for providing quality physical infrastructure. These infrastructure

facilities include real estate, library, state of the art class rooms, furniture, hostels,

transport, sport facilities, commercial buildings, laboratories etc.

(v) Competing with world – We need to study and evaluate thoroughly the models of

education being implemented in other parts of the world and work out strategies

to adopt the best models in our education system. If we wish to compete globally

in the 21st century, our education system should improve its instruction models

and administrative procedures by adopting certain benchmarking techniques.

[18]

Benchmarking would provide benefits to Indian education system in terms of

setting right objectives, reengineering etc. We should aim at establishing world

class research facilities, recruit competent and profound academicians in colleges

/ universities to lead in economic development. It is important to transform the

younger workforce into productive ones and this can be done by providing quality

education in all parts of the country. In order to have a cutting edge over the

competitors in the globalised world, Indian higher education system should focus

on the use of technology for effective learning by the students.

(vi) Public Private Partnership model – It would be useful to explore the possibility of

Public Private Partnership (PPP) model in education sector so as to reduce the

burden of the government in incurring high cost of providing basic infrastructure

facilities. Collaborations between the colleges / universities and corporate should

also be initiated. This would help the students in getting exposure to industrial

activities through internships, organizing joint research and development,

corporate training during vacations etc. Thus making the students more job-

worthy and facilitating in image building and branding of the institutions.

(vii) Making education affordable – If we want education to reach all deserving

students, it has to be made affordable. The fee structure in government sponsored

/ owned institutions are inexpensive in India. However, this is not the case in

some of the private sector institutions due to which the fees are beyond the

capacity of poor and deserving students. To solve this issue, the educators have to

keep in mind that education should not become prohibitively expensive and

ensure that no deserving candidate is denied admission due to the lack of financial

resources.

(viii) Students studying abroad – Despite of having the largest number of higher

education institutions in the world, the number of students interested in pursuing

higher studies abroad is on rise in India. The various factors which encourage

Indian students to seek admission abroad are (a) increasing prosperity and

[19]

aspirations (b) quality of education (c) exposure and experiences gained (d) social

prestige. We should recognize these short-comings while building our educational

institutions for a reversal of trend.

(ix) Ethics in education – Equipping the students with ethical values besides imparting

skills and knowledge is the most important objective of an educational institution.

A disturbing trend in respect of repayment of loans by students can be observed.

It may be noted that if the students do not repay the educational loans after they

falls due, the non-performing assets of the banks will increase and in the process,

banks would be skeptical in sanctioning educational loans. To reduce default of

education loans, the School Alumni Association of students has to become active

in inculcating ethics and values among students.

(x) Upgrading the quality of education – Instead of mere lecture methods, we should

use case studies, group discussions, paper presentations, assignments, seminars,

preparation of reports, curriculum related quiz etc. so as to make the teaching

learning process more effective, student-centered, interesting and activity

oriented. We should focus on improving the pedagogy. The teaching learning

process has to be planned based on the science of active learning and motivate the

students to develop a spirit of enquiry. This would result in more reasoning, self

confidence and learning. Due emphasis should also be given to improve the

student assessment system. The existing student assessment system is inadequate

to gauge the different degrees of excellence achieved by the students and to

increase the competence level among the students.

(xi) Reviewing teachers’ performances – The performance of the teachers should be

reviewed in terms of their subject knowledge up gradation, their ability to work

effectively in a team and to act as mentors for the students. Teachers should

actively participate in the departmental activities so as to assist their heads and the

institution in the College improvement plans. There should be a provision for

scientific assessment of the teachers. In order to promote sharing of mutual

[20]

experience and help in creating a congenial atmosphere, there should be intra-

college and inter-college teacher experience sharing sessions or activities. This

will provide a good learning experience to all the participating teachers.

Continuous development of training modules on various aspects like use of

computers and audio / video aids in teaching, effective communication and

teaching skills, academic up gradation and personality development should be

done. Measurement of the performance after training by monitoring and suitable

quantification techniques is also required at each stage.

(xii) Strengthening performance reviews / appraisals – What cannot be measured,

cannot be managed. Thus the performance reviews are a must. The parameters

should be worked out, against which the performance is to be evaluated. The

scope would include the students, teachers, departments and the institution. The

parameters which has to be focused are demand in the student community to seek

admission to the institution, admission rates, absenteeism, dropout rates, student

unrest, quality of entrance tests, passing percentage, ranks procured, distinctions

conferred, innovative and improved teaching method, use of library /

infrastructure, learning outcomes, academic counseling and monitoring,

functioning of various student development clubs / associations, extra efforts put

in to encourage creative thinking in students etc.

(xiii) Creating research culture – If the Indian education has to make an impact in the

global competitive market, it is important that in every technology institution the

research culture should be promoted. Most of the research efforts in India are

discipline oriented and there are hardly any interdisciplinary groups existing even

in the top ranking institutions.

1.2 BODIES FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE IN INDIA

Following are the three central government agencies involved in quality assurance for

higher education in India:

[21]

(i) The University Grants Commission (UGC) – It was established by an Act of

Parliament in 1956. The UGC is responsible for coordinating, determining and

maintaining the standards of university education. It provides guidance on

governance of tertiary institutions and curriculum development. The UGC

provides grants to centrally funded universities and colleges. The UGC

oversees the functioning of the All India Council of Technical Education

(AICTE), the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), and

the professional councils which engage in research and quality assurance. The

UGC has seven main objectives in order to promote quality and excellence for

the improvement of universities and colleges:

• Promoting effective and flexible governance

• Using a more flexible credit based system for enhancing the quality of

learning at undergraduate and postgraduate levels

• Achieving excellence in teaching and research by strengthening

academic and physical infrastructure

• Focusing on networking between departments, laboratories and

research centres around India

• Approving the delivery of foreign non-technical degree programmes in

India

• Promoting the academic programmes which are beneficial to the

economic and social needs of India

• Improving undergraduate education in colleges through better

connection and coordination with post graduate programmes in the

universities

All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE)

The AICTE was established in 1954 by an Act of Parliament as a national level advisory

body. It was responsible for conducting surveys of technical education facilities within

India and also to promote and help in the development of technical education in a well

coordinated manner. The AICTE oversees the technical education sector in India. It also

grants approvals for the delivery of foreign technical programmes in India. To support

[22]

AICTE, it was given a statutory authority for funding in priority areas, for maintaining

the parity of certification and areas, for the formulation and maintenance of standards, for

monitoring and evaluation and for quality assurance through accreditation. The National

Board of Accreditation (NBA) oversees the quality of engineering education in India and

it sits within the AICTE.

The AICTE oversees technical education programmes like training and research in

engineering, management, applied arts and crafts, technology, pharmacy, town planning,

architecture, and hotel management and catering technology from certificate through to

post-graduate research levels. The AICTE has regional offices in four places i.e. North,

South, East and West of the Country, and the head office is in New Delhi.

AICTE Act No. 2 was passed in 1987 in Parliament which gave it stronger compliance

functions to de-register the technical education institutions if they do not meet their

quality assurance standards.

The agency comprises of the following nine Bureaus:

• Academic Bureau

• Faculty Development Bureau

• Research and Institutional Development Bureau

• Quality Assurance Bureau

• Administration Bureau

• Undergraduate Education Bureau

• Finance Bureau

• Postgraduate Education and Research Bureau

• Planning and Coordination Bureau

Each Bureau has an Adviser as its Head who is assisted by technical officers and staff.

The members of the supporting staff are usually from government departments, academic

institutions or University Grants Commission.

[23]

(ii) National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) – The NAAC,

Bangalore is an autonomous body under the UGC. NAAC was established in

1994 as an autonomous institution of the UGC. The mandate of NAAC as

reflected in its vision statement is in making quality assurance an integral part

of the functioning of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The NAAC

functions through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC)

where educational administrators, policy makers and senior academicians

from a cross-section of Indian higher education system are represented. The

Chairperson of the UGC is the President of the GC of the NAAC, the

Chairperson of the EC is an eminent academician nominated by the

President of GC (NAAC). The Director is the academic and administrative

head of NAAC, and is the member-secretary of both the GC and the EC. In

addition to the statutory bodies that steer its policies and core staff to support

its activities, NAAC is advised by the advisory and consultative

committees constituted from time to time.

Vision and Mission

The vision of NAAC is: To make quality the defining element of higher education in

India through a combination of self and external quality evaluation, promotion and

sustenance initiatives.

The mission statements of the NAAC aim at translating the NAAC’s vision into action

plans and define specific tasks of NAAC engagement and endeavor as given below:

• To arrange for periodic assessment and accreditation of institutions of higher education

or units thereof, or specific academic programmes or projects;

• To stimulate the academic environment for promotion of quality in teaching-learning

and research in higher education institutions;

• To encourage self-evaluation, accountability, autonomy and innovations in higher

education;

[24]

• To undertake quality-related research studies, consultancy and training programmes,

and

• To collaborate with other stakeholders of higher education for quality evaluation,

promotion and sustenance.

Striving to achieve its goals as guided by its vision and mission statements, NAAC

primarily focuses on assessment of the quality of higher education institutions in the

country. The NAAC methodology for Assessment and Accreditation is very much similar

to that followed by Quality Assurance (QA) agencies across the world and consists of

self-assessment by the institution and external peer assessment by NAAC.

(iii) Association of Indian Universities (AIU) – The AIU was established in 1924

and it was registered as a society in 1967 under the Societies Registration Act.

The AIU acts as a facilitation body and inter-university support by providing

evaluation and assessments of foreign qualifications to Indian Universities.

Following are the main objectives of the AIU:

• To assist the universities in obtaining recognition for their dip, degrees and

examinations from other universities, Indian as well as foreign

• To facilitate communication and coordination between the universities by acting

as a bureau of information

• To help the universities in maintaining their autonomous character

• To act as a liaison point between the universities and Central government as well

as the State governments

• To provide and facilitate for the publication of research papers, newsletters, books

and journals

• To act as the representative of Indian universities overseas

• To facilitate exchange of teaching and research staff

• To undertake or promote programmes that would help in improving standards of

instruction, research, examination, scholarly publications, textbooks and library

organization

[25]

• To establish and maintain bodies dealing with student services, sport, youth

welfare, adult education, cultural programmes and such other activities for the

betterment and welfare of students, teachers and others who are linked with the

universities

• To organize and facilitate lectures, seminars, workshops, conferences and

research in higher learning

1.3 OVERVIEW OF AREA

Education plays a vital role in the empowerment and development of the human resource

in a nation. Education is essential in imparting values, knowledge and developing skills

so as to increase the growth and productivity of the nation. Schools are the most

important means of transforming the reservoir of skills and knowledge from one

generation to another. However in the modern world, the role of institutions has become

more challenging with the innovations and technological developments. Investment in

educational institutions is an investment for economic prosperity. As higher cost is

involved in the establishment of higher educational institutions, we can see the entry of

private sector in this scenario.

Quality in the context of education is achieving the desirable characteristics of output

against some specified criteria or objectives. To ensure quality, every higher institution

has a road map of its own. This road map contains the vision and the mission statements,

norms and standards, and the programmes of action supported by continuous review and

monitoring system. To ensure quality, every institution must be equipped with sufficient

learning resources, infrastructure, supportive academic environment, need based

curriculum design, competent and dedicated teaching faculties and a planning system

with diversity and flexibility. Due emphasis should also be given on the use of

technology, promotion of research and development, and appropriate teaching learning

experience.

Quality education can be achieved by (a) conforming to comparable standards with an

innovative approach (b) adequate capability to consistently cope with the demands of the

[26]

world of work and scope for employability (c) development of innate qualities to an

optimum level (d) fulfilling the academic intellectual requirements with the optimal

degree of excellence (e) satisfying all the stakeholders as per the social expectations.

Higher education has become both a repository and a creator of knowledge. It has

become a focal point for learning in the society and a driving force for economic

development of the nation. In the future, due to privatization and liberalization in

education sector the non qualified institutions will automatically die down. The

universities will no longer have the monopoly of higher learning. A large number of

satellite institutions will come up to supplement the need of higher education. The

national system of higher education will become varied and complex.

1.4 MOTIVATION

There is a wide spread view in the country that our graduates and post graduates passing

out from universities are not employable and the industry often complaints that they have

to spend a lot of effort, time and money to suitably train the new recruits. This sad

situation is attributable to lack of quality enforcement in our education system. Thus there

is a pressing and imperative need to enhance the quality level of our education system.

Lack of quality in education system results in unemployment, under employment and a

number of societal problems.

This aspect has provided motivation this research work to be undertaken which deals

with enhancement of quality level in our education system.

1.5 PROBLEM FORMULATION

It is a grass root level study in which the perceptions of the end users i.e. the students and

the faculty members have been studied. Quality education concept has been

operationalized in terms of students’ and faculty members’ satisfaction levels for the

different parameters. The study is a matter of perceived quality rather than technical

quality.

[27]

The present study makes an attempt to enlist various factors that affect the quality of

Technical Education, so the problem can be stated as An Analytical Study of Parameters

Affecting Quality of Undergraduate Engineering Programmes in Haryana.

1.6 OBJECTIVES OF THE THESIS

• To study the perception of students about “Selection Process”, “Academic

Excellence”, “Infrastructure”, “Personality Development & Industry Exposure”,

“Placements” and “Management & Administration” parameters in undergraduate

engineering programmes in Haryana.

• To study the perception of faculty members about “Selection Process”,

“Academic Excellence”, “Infrastructure”, “Personality Development & Industry

Exposure” and “Management & Administration” parameters in undergraduate

engineering programmes in Haryana.

• To study the multi-paradigm framework of the teaching-learning, student

progression, leadership development, research and extension, learning resources

development in undergraduate engineering programmes in Haryana.

[28]

The premier work carried out by different researchers in the present research area is

enlarged as under:

Sharma, H. and Goswami, V.K. (2013) The study inferred that Foreign direct investment

would be an useful tool for developing quality and its sustenance in the realm of higher

education, particularly for the poor and developing nations as well as the developed

countries all over the globe.

Dharini, S. et al (2013) The study discusses the perceptions of the students undergoing

higher education in a reputed institution. Motivational level of the students, transactional

style and student satisfaction level influence the academic performance of the students to

a great extent.

Melissa, H. (2013) The study concluded that there is a need for professionally training the

students in soft skills. The training programs would be more effective if the trainers

would be sent to train the teachers in their mid-career, who are engaged in the courses

like soft skills / personality development.

Kanjilal, U. (2013) The study inferred that the concept of Open Educational Resources

(OER) is new to the country and it is at a stage of development. The OER can help a

University to evolve as a system leader on the Open & Distance Learning (ODL) front.

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) would have to play an important role

in building awareness about OER, and possibly help other ODL institutions in India to

adopt OER policies.

Gafoor, S.F. and Khabeer, Q. (2013) The study concluded that the Information and

Communication Technologies is essential for quality assurance in Higher Education. It

can be used as a model for assessing the quality of education in colleges. It also fastens

the process of assessment and audit with greater transparency.

Bairagi, A. and Shrivastava, A. (2013) The study explained that there has been a

[29]

consistent demand for Free and Compulsory Education, right from the period around the

freedom struggle. In order to create a 'common language' and maintain uniform standards

across India, it is imperative to enact skeletal Central-level legislation in such a manner

that it allows room for local need based innovations.

Khamkar, S.B. (2013) The study concluded that the quality of education not only depend

upon the curriculum, infrastructure, aims, objectives, goal and mission, but it also

depends upon the art of creating, shaping human capital into accountable, socially

responsible, reliable individuals responsible to the society on the whole.

Sindhwani, A. and Kumar, R. (2013) The study recommended that education can be used

to infuse human values among students so as to make the world as a place of peace,

security and prosperity.

Sain, S.K. and Kaware, S.S. (2013) The study inferred that there would be a continuous

evolution of various kinds and generations of technology which would serve as prime

enabling factors in dissemination of instructional material as well as providing for

interaction between students and teachers separated by geographical distance.

Subrahmanyam, V. and Ravichandran, K. (2013) The study concluded that in order to get

the best results, the Institutions or Universities offering Online Distance Learning has to

take up the hybrid learning as a tool in their course offerings. The costs incurred due to

the implementation of hybrid learning can be recovered in a short span of time.

Sant, S.V. (2013) The study concluded that it is essential to redesign and reorient the

curricula of Vocational Education (VE) to instill in students and trainees the basic skills

along with cognitive digital literacy skills, problem solving, respect for conservation and

sustainable use of resources and the competencies to practice sustainable tasks at the

workplace of today and tomorrow. The proper policy, planning, framework and the

support from government and all stake holders is essential for successful implementation

of VE system.

[30]

Chomal, V.S. and Saini, J.K. (2013) The study concluded that the introduction and

development of new information technology in teaching and learning has impacted the

traditional classroom activities. The newly introduced technologies produce a greater

level of interaction between and among teachers and students. They provide enrichment

in the learning experience and thus help to improve the educational environment.

Kayte, C.N. et al (2013) The study concluded that the Indian Education needs to compete

globally, especially with its neighborhood. The comparison with the Asian Universities,

which were easily outranked by their Indian counterparts a few decades ago, is not

favorable.

Sakran, T.M. and Mesanovic, M. (2013) The study identified differences in students’

perceptions of English for engineering course by gender and year of study. Female

respondents show a higher mean than males regarding overall course contents relevance.

The perceptions of graduate students are more positive than those indicated by junior and

senior students.

Sundareswari, S. (2013) The study inferred that although the electronic resources offer

wider access, cost saving over local maintenance and storage, ease of use, more rapid

updating, but the librarians find difficulty in defining issues related to policy of

collection, development and archiving of the Electronic Resources.

Bakshi, R. (2013) The study demonstrated that Knowledge Management helps in making

a learning society by enabling the students face the problems with courage and inner

strength. In India, we need to study the problems of Knowledge Management initiatives

through actual case studies and experiences. We need to explore the tools and techniques

for evaluating the results.

Patel, J.I. (2013) The study emphasizes that the Indian education system should be

learning-centric rather than exam-centric. The students should be made to interact in

groups and express their views on various topics apart from gaining knowledge from the

[31]

lectures and voluminous books. Moreover, the students must be allowed to choose

subjects according to their interests.

Shinde, V.V. and Inamdar, S.S. (2013) The study emphasized that Problem Based

Learning (PBL) has been found to be an useful way to engage students in learning and to

achieve Learning Objectives (LOs). The authors have successfully implemented PBL in

an institute in India which has been practicing the instruction based pedagogy since

decades. The authors have recommended conducting a few more experiments in order to

form more concrete conclusions.

Dhanarajan, G. and Porter, D. (2013) The study was conducted at International

development research centre of Canada. The survey was done with the help of

questionnaire method. The study concluded that the knowledge is unequally and unfairly

distributed. The author says that the knowledge should be universal and OER can help in

overcome the gaps which exist in the globalised world.

Harishankar, V.B. et al (2013b) The study concluded that the use of Digital Resources

(DR) was the highlight of the survey in terms of responses. It can be confirmed by seeing

the different stages of development of DR and OER.

Harishankar, V.B. (2013a) The study concluded that there are enough government

policies in place to encourage OER in India. The focus is to be made to provide catalysts

which can turn the government policies into educational transformation.

Tak, R.M. (2013) The study inferred that technology helps in the process of delivering

education. In order to provide a better education system, we need to introduce

modifications and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration in

educational system. We can thus, create a generation of students who would be up-to-

date for the modern world and its demands.

Nargunde, A.S. (2013) The study explained that the students can be deprived of good

[32]

knowledge if a genuinely good and dedicated teacher decides to leave the institute.

Frequent job hopping by teachers would hamper the learning process of the students and

the overall working of the institutes. It was found that almost 52% of the respondents

have worked in different organizations before joining the current organization. Aspects

like career opportunities, working conditions and performance – reward relation should

be improved by the management of the institutes in order to reduce the attrition rate of

the teachers.

Bala, S. (2013) The study concluded that the public higher education institutions need to

be supported by the state and the central government to reach the minimum standards.

Collaborative activities need to be supported through public funding. Competitive grants

are required to be provided to encourage healthy competition in higher education.

Kalanidhi, A. (2013) The study explained that any form of accreditation or regulation

may not be able to improve the quality of engineering education. On the other hand, the

institutions may try to acquire better and higher accreditation credentials in order to

present a better picture.

Uma R. and Seetha (2013) The study provides practical and useful information to the

AICTE and the technical universities to improve the competencies of the students of

English in engineering colleges. This has been done by giving a fair trial to the activities

developed and successfully tried out by the investigator. The study concludes that the

intervention strategies-I developed by the investigator have significantly improved the

communicative competencies among engineering students. And the intervention

strategies-II have significantly enhanced the self-esteem among engineering students.

Faisal, A.F. (2013) The study inferred that the teacher can use the assessment strategies

to enhance the learners speaking skills. The teacher assessment sheet and score sheet

would enable the learner to know his or her proficiency in the English language. Thereby

making the learners competent to speak in any situation and develop the speaking skills

of the learners. Moreover, the transparent assessment strategies would also increase the

[33]

motivation and confidence of the learners.

Sathya, P. (2013) The study focuses on the importance of assessing the fluency of the

learners based on the needs analysis. The study concluded that the learning should be of

fun to the learners. Teachers must employ variety in teaching methodology. Hence it is

the teacher who must create a conducive atmosphere for learning. And the speaking

should be integrated with the other skills.

Tewari, D.D. et al (2013) The study inferred that although India has the advantage of

well-established and long system of higher education unlike China where state

interference in the past had been very heavy and not so conducive, India now lags behind

China for certain in some respects.

Jain, S. (2013) The study concluded that the institutes with high turnover must

continually invest money for providing professional support for new untrained teachers

and into recruitment efforts. This way, we can build a strong and much improved

education system so as to achieve the increased organizational efficiency.

Qureshi, R. et al (2013) The study explained that it is needed to keep the employees

satisfied and motivated in order to achieve the organizational goals. Unsatisfied

employees are hard to retain in the workplace. A high attrition rate would hamper the

overall working of the organization. The employee motivation leads to an increase in the

overall efficiency of the organization and job satisfaction.

Prasad, K.G. et al (2012) The study demonstrates the application of six sigma approach

for improving the quality in an engineering educational institution by eliminating the

failure causes. The study concluded that six sigma can be used as a powerful tool to

increase customer satisfaction by improving the processes in any system, which may be

service sector or production.

Matta, P. and Singh, N. (2012) The study inferred that e-learning has become an integral

[34]

part of Information Technology (IT) world. There is no field or industry which has

remained untouched from the effects of advancement in e-learning. e-learning plays an

important role in both day to day life and information world.

Santhi, L. and Radhakrishnan, N. (2012) The results of the study shows that the majority

of the researchers are content with E-resources available in their institutions. While some

of the research scholars felt that they need orientation to use them.

Deb, N. (2012) The study concluded that in order to achieve regulation of higher

education in India, there is a need of interaction of the profit motives of various

providers- private, domestic as well as foreign.

Mukherjee, S. (2012) The study suggested that by incorporating policy as the theoretical

as well as empirical basis of comparative research, future studies may find more effective

means of tracing important linkages between developments in electoral and non-electoral

spheres of democratic competition.

Abhilash, E. and Mohankumar, S. (2012) The study illustrated that courses like research

methodology, intellectual property rights and scientific innovations should be an integral

part in post graduate curriculum to encourage the students to take up research as a

profession. Faculty involved in research should be recognized or encouraged for their

research contributions and should be given ample opportunity to boost their confidence

level to compete internationally.

Mohanty, A. (2012) The study suggested that the colleges and universities must revisit

and redefine their vision and mission statements, assessment procedures, planning

documents in the light of new challenges of globalization and clearly specify how to

address the diversity issues. More attention is needed to be given on the aspects like the

benefits of recruiting diverse faculty in enhancing teaching-learning effectiveness,

interdisciplinary research and developing multiple abilities like cross-cultural,

pedagogical implications, leadership and technical competencies amongst the university

[35]

students.

Mani, S. and Arun, M. (2012) The study concluded that liberalization of education has

failed to bring in the expected benefits. It is quite evident that many students who gain

admission to various engineering colleges do not have the basic capability, which can be

built only by improving school education.

Callahan, N. et al (2012) The study inferred that online delivery of programs and courses

has become a necessary ingredient in post-secondary education. Online education offers

many advantages in flexibility and convenience that can significantly improve

accessibility for students in a variety of situations.

Sandhu, H.S. and Daviet (2012) The study suggested that open access resources are

valuable and qualitative source of information. Respondents have positive attitudes

toward open access but there is a need of increased awareness about open access

materials.

Kumar, P. (2012) The study recommended that increased number of awareness

programmes should be organized to enhance the use of e-resources and to throw light on

the benefits obtainable from electronic format as compared to print. Educational

institutions should make the access to scholarly e-resources free and or highly subsidized

in order to fulfill their mission in to reality.

Vidalis, S.M. (2012) The study explained that conducting mock interviews in order to

make each student’s learning maximum is both difficult to schedule and a time-

consuming process.

Grewal, D.S. (2012) The results of the study says that if we consider an area which is

remote and rural it include both the disparities; in the form of income and the

characteristics of facilities available. An extreme disparity can be seen in Punjab, where

the students in professional education from urban: rural are in the ratio 96:4 as per a

[36]

Punjabi university Survey. Facilities wise; distance from industry, lack of

communication; poor inputs and non availability of faculty are additional problems in

remote rural areas.

Jahagirdar, G.S. (2012) The study suggested that e-learning tools provide a context for

individual and group learning. Educators construct, codify and represent knowledge as

learning materials and store it in repositories of the e-learning system.

Bhusry, M. et al (2012) The study recommended that Information Technology based

Knowledge Management intervention in Higher Education Institutions can prove to be a

promising techno management tool to enhance performance in the vital areas of teaching

and learning, administrative services and research.

Datir, R.K. (2012) The study explained that the expansion of higher education in India

has been completely unplanned and chaotic. There is imbalance and distortions in the

area of technical education in India. The public expenditure on education in India is most

inadequate.

Viji, V. (2012) The study inferred that the enrolment rate in elementary education is

higher but the dropout rate has increased from 1st standard to higher education in India.

So the government should take necessary steps and introduce techniques to reduce the

dropout rate.

Kadam, N.L. (2012) The study illustrated that due to the increase in enrolment and

General Education Requirement, the present number of institutions of higher education is

incapable to accommodate all the students suitably and conveniently. The higher

education system needs to be expanded rapidly, so that, it would reach to the last student.

Ali, M.M. and Joshi, J.D. (2012) The study recommended that quality is one of the major

aspects for sustainability in higher education. The Balanced Scorecard, Benchmarking

and Competency Mapping would support the institutions to improve and maintain the

[37]

quality and to fulfill the dreams of our nation, to become education superpower by 2030.

Deshwal, P. et al (2012) The study concluded that the perception of undergraduate

engineering students is cardinal in ensuring service quality in engineering education.

Eight factors were unveiled including satisfaction with the academics, faculty profile,

faculty teaching, library, laboratory, competitive environment, campus infrastructure and

inter-institute activities.

Malagi, V.V. (2012) The study explained that the major challenges to the Indian higher

education are teacher recruitment, faculty development, quality of undergraduate

colleges, promotion of research and doctorate programmes, promotion of humanities,

social sciences and basic sciences disciplines and internationalizing higher education.

Sahoo, B.B. and Agarwal, G.P. (2012) The study illustrated that the future plans of Indian

National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology (INDEST)-AICTE

Consortium include (i) considering a discovery solution for the INDEST-AICTE

Consortium member as well as for the other member institutions of other Consortium of

India, (ii) establishment of National coalition of all Library Consortia to have a common

e-resources policy for India etc.

Sohoni, M. (2012) The study recommended to bring an agreement on pedagogy and met

a curriculum which is broad and comprehensive and is implementable throughout the

country, to develop course materials and protocols for knowledge accumulation for local

needs, to develop projects which are executable at different colleges and develop a

common platform for discussing action-research. Last but not least to form a team of

resource persons for every course composed of academicians, experts and practitioners.

Chakraborty, S. and Ghosh, S.B. (2011) The study explained that the contributions made

by Distance Learning Universities (DLU) (Open Universities) are major creator in the

field of Open Resources. Government initiatives in the form of the contributions provided

by Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) and National Informatics Centre

[38]

(NIC) have helped the stakeholders of the higher education community.

Sasireka, I. et al (2011) The study concluded that out of 205 engineering institutions, 145

(70.7%) colleges are providing access to electronic resources. Majority of the non

minority self financing institutions are providing e-resources facility. All private

universities have good collections of electronic resources in their library.

Saeki, A.B. (2011) The study concluded that engineering education institutions should:

(i) seek to improve the skill set of graduates; (ii) recognize the importance of soft skills,

(iii) refocus the assessments, teaching-learning process, and curricula away from lower-

order thinking skills, such as remembering and understanding, toward higher-order skills,

such as analyzing and solving engineering problems, as well as creativity; and (iv)

interact more with employers to understand the particular demand for skills in that region

and sector.

Thakkar, C.M. (2011) The study concluded that the presence of an institution shall

depend upon the type of education and training offered. Total quality can only be

achieved by establishing an innovative organization that is flexible, which can quickly

adjust to changes in its environment and is capable of learning.

Kapur, D. (2010) The study inferred that the success of the emerging surrogate education

system has (at least now) depended mainly on extreme selection mechanisms and the

ability to pay private providers. Moreover, with formal educational qualifications

becoming more dominant, the pressures to get credentialed are increasing, without the

corresponding skills and training.

Sharma, R.K. and Tewari, P.C. (2010) The study concluded that Concurrent Engineering

has been able to find the place in top ten best practices in academics. Due to the speedy

changes in technology and uncertainty, we need to take care of the extent to which

activities are to be done simultaneously or successively.

[39]

Dukkipati, U. (2010) The result of the study demonstrated that for India to maintain its

economic growth in a global market place fuelled by the knowledge economy, it needs to

nearly double its number of students in higher education by 2012. Without proper

approach to education the country’s demographic dividend could turn into a demographic

disaster.

Rani, P.G. (2010) The study concluded that it needs to emphasize on ensuring quality and

accountability of the private higher education system immediately. The ‘state’ should

raise some fundamental and forgotten essential values such as positive externalities, the

social purpose that higher education provides, the nation building role it performs, the

public good and the human right natures of higher education are to be brought back.

Mishra, S. (2010) The study inferred that some 'out of the box' thinking is required to

synergize technical and nontechnical content to meet society's new necessities. India has

seen irregular curricula reforms, most Indian engineering institutions are falling behind.

This is not certainly due to a lack of awareness but more to administrative set-up, over

centralized academic power, and rigid regulations that hinder innovative academic

practices and student learning.

Saxena, V. et al (2010) The result of the study confirmed that the universities in India can

sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with foreign universities for scientific

research. Once this process sets in, serious research scholars would be drawn towards

scientific research in different areas.

Khan, S. and Dominic, J. (2009) The study concluded that the faculty members have

learnt Internet skills from colleagues, friends and training from college. The faculty use

Internet for research purpose and education.

Mantri, A. (2009) The study concluded that there is an overall need that graduates of

engineering should be creative, and the engineering industry wants thinkers and problem

solvers, so likewise we should use education techniques that foster creativity in students.

[40]

Ghosh, J. (2008) The study concluded that in India in spite of the rising costs of

education, or visa difficulties queues of students are lining up to join United States (US)

higher education institutions. And the attraction for such students seems to be not simply

the lure of eventual emigration to the US, but a genuine opinion that the system is

inherently superior.

Paranjape, M. (2008) The results of the study concluded that there is a need to broaden

the paradigm of human development to sustainable human development which includes a

holistic education system based on universalisation of elementary and secondary

education and a developed base of higher education.

Baby, M.A. (2008) The study concluded that the exceptional demand for education even

among the masses is the result of the internalization of the economic value of education

in the developing knowledge society.

Arunkumar, R. (2008) It can be determined from the study that it is time for the popular

movements to build struggles for growth of public education and build a consensus for

their agenda and defeat the implementation of the World Trade Organization (WTO)

agenda via our commerce department.

Mohanty, P.J. (2008) The study inferred that up-gradation of the production process

requires an affordable and effective higher education system for the masses and not just

for a few privileged ones. Simultaneously, it is also necessary that the government give

equal importance to universalizing primary and secondary education.

Menon, R.V.G. (2008) The study explained that the market, which goes only by capacity

utilization and returns on capital, does not realize the human costs. The pass percentage

in engineering, which was earlier around 90, has now fallen below 60. Many students

from every batch fail to pass the engineering course, at the end of four years.

Banerjee, R. and Muley, V.P. (2008) The study concluded that it is important to know the

[41]

actual trends in numbers, placements, salaries, employability, research output and

compare and benchmark performance with other institutions. An understanding of the

reality should form the beginning of policy changes that ensure that the engineering

education system meets the changing needs of the industry and society.

Morell, L. (2008) The result of the study demonstrated that if engineers are to create a

world that has never been, then we need engineers with the right set of skills,

competencies and values. It is essential that engineering education reforms and innovates,

focusing on outcomes, quality assurance and on producing engineers that society,

regions, nations and the world need.

Levy, D.C. (2008) The study explained that India’s private proportion of total enrolment

is roughly same as to the evolving global average. In regard to types of institutions, the

private sector is especially focused on non-universities and in small institutions. Elite

academic universities are uncommon in private sectors, though the future could be

distinct in both India and beyond.

Agarwal, P. (2007) The study concluded that a realistic approach is required in the

formulation of public policies to govern important components of higher education.

Although appropriate regulations could help to remove profiteering and poor quality, all

efforts to burden the overloaded regulatory bodies to maintain quality standards and

ethical practices would be wasted unless accompanied by a clear understanding of the

roles of private, public, and foreign provision in higher education.

Mishra, S. (2007) The study explained that the quality assurance system leads to

performance excellence as well as total quality management. Assuring quality is a

continuous teamwork in which standards, benchmarks, and quality audit plays a

important integrated role. Quality assurance has to be executed internally though it is

normally monitored/ assessed through external agency for accreditation.

Vohra, N. and Nair, N. (2007) The study inferred that the educational institutions thrive

[42]

on tradition and continuity and maintenance of the status quo is part of the cultural

coding. It is important for the consultant to learn continuously by seeking help from the

community of professionals (colleagues or collected knowledge available in books and

journals) and to coax the complex system to learn to unlearn and seek help to grow

further.

Arora, V. (2007) The study inferred that if a positive word-of-mouth alumni base is

achieved, greater awareness levels will be achieved with potential students who in turn

will be encouraged to pursue their higher education in the United Kingdom (UK) by this

satisfied alumni base and ultimately add to this alumni base that will further spread and

communicate the strengths and positives of studying in the UK.

Varshney, L.R. (2006) The study recommended that once the quality of engineering

education in India increases to a suitable level, the flight to foreign engineering colleges

should also decrease, thus solving the major social ills linked with adverse selection in

the engineering education market.

Goel, S. (2006) The results of the study explained that in order to further develop the

value of engineering education, it is proposed that ability to create wealth, self-

sufficiency and a sense of well being through successful engineering enterprise, ability to

assist others through philanthropic donation, and ability to work in multi-location teams

may also be added to the list of recommended competencies, especially at the master

level.

Agarwal, P. (2006) The study inferred that in order to enable the formulation of policy at

the central, state, and institutional levels, there is an instant need for conducting a

baseline survey of higher education and training system - both in the public and the

private sector. The changing national and global circumstances require that we evolve a

new concept in higher education.

Vincent, S. and Lancrin (2006) The study recommended that cross-border education has

[43]

the potential to be an effective capacity development tool for developing countries, not

only for their tertiary education systems but also for the economy as a whole. Imported

tertiary education can contribute in expanding access for domestic students and in

improving the quality of tertiary education.

Hopper, R.R. (2006) The result of the study demonstrated that even with warnings and

sanctions QA processes can move a system toward one that embraces the virtuous cycle

of quality improvement provided that initial actions are paired with clear guidance for

improvements and technical assistance to help move the program or institution towards

progress.

Tiwari, R. (2005) The study inferred that in the entire North East (NE) of India, mostly

the engineering colleges which are under state universities are in existence. The number

of engineering colleges and yearly intake of students as compared to other zone is very

less. Also, some suggestions for up-gradation of existing state Engineering Institutions in

NE can be thought off and application of the same may be made to improve the quality of

engineering education and its effectiveness to benefit the society.

Viswanadhan, K.G. (2005) The result of the study explained that Analytic Hierarchy

Process (AHP), which is a transparent method, is very useful to handle the situations

where qualitative data is involved in the decision-making. It involves the principles of

decomposition, pair wise comparisons, and priority vector generation and synthesis.

Singla, P.K. et al (2005) The study inferred that the case studies are particularly

appropriate to provide students with a learning situation, which closely resembles the

organizational context and the professional requirements. Therefore case studies are the

cornerstones of competency-oriented learning.

Hemalatha, B. et al (2005) The results of the study explained that if a student uses the

Internet tools for problem solving for his/her specific subject, then the student gains a

greater insight into the underlying concepts and is able to understand the use of web

[44]

technology.

Naik, B.M. (2005) The study recommended that if India dreams to become a superpower

by 2020 it will have to leave the old shackles and adopt a new approach. Higher

education institutions have now come in global competition, where survival of the fittest

is the law.

Bhushi, U.M. et al (2005) It can be determined from the study that Continuous

Education Programmes should provide services in terms of continuation of research by

providing funds and required infrastructure and the system should have accountability

measures in terms of design of curriculum, publication of papers, patents etc.

Balakrishnan, S. (2005) The results of the study explained some features for the future

betterment of the candidates entering into the educational system through Competency

Based Education System (CBES). They are given below: theory blended with the societal

required practical approach, improving the students to the substance learning instead of

subject learning alone, and employability of candidates into the industry and improving

the functioning and output of industry.

Harish, G. (2005) The study recommended that Continuous Education Programmes helps

the teachers of engineering college to update their knowledge. It also helps in

advancement of their career and to place themselves to higher positions. It also helps at

the time of accreditation of institute by the NBA.

Raja, M.P.N. et al (2005) The study inferred that the proposed model presented in the

investigation presents a different conceptualization of service quality. It is an attempt to

combine the various models from the available services literature in the context of higher

education services.

Venkataram, P. et al (2005) The results of the study demonstrated that we can have the

technical education institution assessment and improvement system on everyday basis

[45]

and provide the system for improvement aid in future planning of technical education in

the state and in the country.

Kumar, R. and Kaur, A. (2005) The study concluded that in order to make the Internet

more useful, the library staff who have obtained a good deal of efficiency in the

collection, organization and retrieval of information should feel duty-bound to see that

the users are able to obtain right information at the right time.

Cheney, G.R. et al (2005) The study concluded that the growing demand for higher

education is not currently being met: only ten percent of the age cohort is actually

enrolled in higher education.

Bhattacharya, B. (2004) The study concluded that India, like other countries, is aware

that a new age is emerging - one that will be characterized by incredible advances in

knowledge and synthesis of knowledge, triggering major changes in the objectives,

contents and methods of higher education.

2.1 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

• The changing economic scenario throughout the globe has made India a major

provider of workforce to the world. So it has become an issue of utmost importance to

impart the highest quality of technical education. With increase in population and

huge investment in the education sector, a large number of private engineering

institutions have come up, while the rise in the number of seats and the number of

government engineering institutions have taken place at snail’s pace throughout India.

• Monitoring, maintaining and improving the quality of these engineering institutions

have become one of the major issues in the current scenario. Haryana being one of the

fast developing states has shown a rapid rise in the set up of new engineering

institutions over the last decade. This study focuses on the crucial parameters which

can be used as tools to monitor the quality in undergraduate engineering institutions

[46]

within Haryana to achieve a planned improvement and growth in the technical

education.

• Since the students and faculty members form the two important pillars of any

educational institute, so this study mainly focuses on the analytical study performed

on the faculty members and undergraduate students of some engineering institutions

of Haryana. Basic parameters based on which the current study has been conducted

are Selection Process, Academic Excellence, Infrastructure, Personality Development

& Industry Exposure, Placements and Management & Administration. Utmost care

has been taken while evaluating the data and interpreting the results.

• This study contributes the analytical data based on which we would be able to analyze

the short comings of some of the engineering institutions of Haryana under study and

we would be able to take some concrete steps in inducting few procedures for the

better tomorrow.

[47]

The present study has been conducted on six different education institutions in Haryana

which have been imparting education in various undergraduate engineering courses since

last two decades, among them are four Universities and two Affiliated Colleges from

Haryana.

• Sampling: The research is a descriptive type of research in nature. The sample

size for the study is 600 for the students (n=100 for each institute) and 180 for the

faculty members (n=30 for each institute). The sample has been taken on the basis

of stratified sampling technique.

• Data collection: The data has been collected with the help of Questionnaire Based

Survey. The questionnaire has been filled by the students (pursuing B.Tech) and

faculty members (teaching B.Tech) from six undergraduate engineering

institutions in Haryana.

• Scope of the study: Region and respondents included in research - The region of

the study is Haryana and the institutions which have been studied are the six

undergraduate engineering institutions in Haryana chosen randomly.

• Statistical tools: For analysis and conclusion of the results of the survey, t test on

Microsoft (MS) Excel and factor analysis on Statistical Package for Social

Sciences (SPSS) have been performed.

[48]

This chapter includes the data presentation, analysis and interpretation. This chapter has

been subdivided in two parts. The first part of this chapter deals with the data analysis

and interpretations based on t test performed on MS Excel. The second part of this

chapter deals with the data analysis and interpretations based on factor analysis

performed on SPSS. The analysis in each part has been done with respect to the two

stakeholders (students and faculty members) of institute A, B, C, D, E and F respectively.

The primary data collected from the respondents through questionnaires is analyzed here.

The respondents were requested to give their opinion by filling the required information

in their respective questionnaires. The structure of the questionnaire for two categories of

stakeholders (respondents) was same however their questions differed based on the

relevancy of issues for the respective stakeholder (respondents). The questions in the

questionnaires were based on the Likert scale where responses were sought on five point

scale. There were five columns representing Strongly Agree, Agree, Not Sure, Disagree

and Strongly Disagree in the given sequence. The responses as tick mark were to be

marked in the box [ ] printed against each question.

The primary data collected through questionnaires is separately analyzed for entire

population of students and faculty members (respondents) for the six selected institutes in

Haryana, India. The responses of the questions asked from the students and faculty

members through a structured questionnaire have been assigned weightages according to

the NAAC criteria of Assessment and Accreditation (A&A) before statistical analysis.

The following tables show the weights assigned to each question of the two

questionnaires.

4.1 t TEST ON THE STUDENT AND FACULTY MEMBER RESPONSES

4.1.1 Institute “A” (student)

SELECTION PROCESS

The null hypothesis; Ho states that the hypothesized value (µo) (the quantified value of

responses of sample respondents on research based on 1-5 scale) in four questions is

greater than or equal to 3. The alternative hypothesis; Hα contradicts the above claim. t

test is employed at 5 % level of significance to test if the null hypothesis can be rejected.

The test uses p-value method (based on TDIST function of MS Excel) to check if Ho can

be rejected.

Null hypothesis; Ho: µo ≥ 3

Alternative hypothesis; Hα: µo < 3

Weighted average ( x ) = 2.836

Standard deviation (s) = 0.699

µ = 3

Sample size; n = 100

Standard error = s/√n = 0.070

tstat = ( x - µ)/standard error = -2.345

TDIST = IF(tstat >0,1- TDIST(tstat,n-1,1), TDIST(ABS(tstat),n-1,1)) = 0.011



Type of test t test (lower tail)

Level of significance 0.05

p value 0.011

Since p value is less than the level of significance (α = 0.05), so the null hypothesis

cannot be accepted. Hence it can be inferred that the “Selection Process” parameter is not

acceptable to the majority of the student respondents of Institute “A”.

[53]

Industry Exposure” parameter is not acceptable to the majority of the student respondents

of Institute “A”.

PLACEMENTS


responses of sample respondents on research based on 1-5 scale) in five questions is




be rejected.




[56]


µ = 3









p value 0.000


cannot be accepted. Hence it can be inferred that the “Placements” parameter is not


MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION


responses of sample respondents on research based on 1-5 scale) in seven questions is




be rejected.





µ = 3



[57]







p value 0.000


cannot be accepted. Hence it can be inferred that the “Management & Administration”

parameter is not acceptable to the majority of the student respondents of Institute “A”.

SELECTION PROCESS

SQ1. The criteria followed at the time of giving admission to the students are uniform.





µ = 3









p value 0.000


cannot be accepted. Hence it can be inferred that the question “The criteria followed at

[58]

the time of giving admission to the students are uniform” is not acceptable to the majority

of the student respondents of Institute “A”.

SQ2. The entrance examination conducted by the institute for the admission purpose of

students helps in the selection process.





µ = 3









p value 0.000


cannot be accepted. Hence it can be inferred that the question “The entrance examination

conducted by the institute for the admission purpose of students helps in the selection

process” is not acceptable to the majority of the student respondents of Institute “A”.

SQ3. The students admitted have required basic knowledge of all the subjects at entry
