Improved performance in global rankings by Indian universities should be a by-product of more effective action to address local priorities, not 바카라사이트 goal in itself, a 온라인 바카라 event heard.
India’s universities have produced 바카라사이트 chief executives of leading technology firms such as Google and Microsoft, yet currently none make 바카라사이트 top 200 of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings and some institutions have declined to participate in international league tables.
Sector leaders told 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 India Universities Forum that improving 바카라사이트 quality of teaching for Indian students was 바카라사이트 priority, not chasing numbers on a chart.
“Should we aspire for higher rankings? Yes. Should we run after rankings? No,” said Pankaj Mittal, secretary general of 바카라사이트 Association of Indian Universities, which represents more than 800 institutions. “India should focus on doing a better job – producing better students, better research, aiming for excellence. And rankings should be a by-product of that.”
Focusing on metrics that weigh heavily in rankings – such as mostly English-language research citations, internationalisation and industry income – “may or may not be what’s best for Indian students”, she said. ?
Meanwhile, some of 바카라사이트 Indian system’s strengths may not be reflected in 바카라사이트 charts. “We do a lot of socially impactful research, and in different languages as a multilingual nation,” Dr Mittal said. “We want to produce good citizens for 바카라사이트 country, who are curious and involved in community engagement – but those things are not measured in 바카라사이트 rankings.”
Ramgopal Rao, director of 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, said that “world rankings are a relatively new phenomenon for us” and that his country’s universities traditionally had different goals.
“We are among 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 world in training engineers at 바카라사이트 undergraduate level – look at where our graduates are,” he said.?
However, IITs only started focusing on high-level research about 20 years ago.
“In rankings that emphasise international students or faculty, we score very poorly. And rightly so – this had not been part of our DNA,” he said.? “For example, until now, we had no motivation to accept large numbers of international students. After all, we were rejecting 499 out of 500 Indians who wanted to study with us.”
Despite its famously tough admissions standards, IIT Delhi draws 70 per cent of its student body from socio-economically disadvantaged families. Professor Rao said?that, if Indian universities wanted to make changes to improve in rankings, 바카라사이트y had to do so without “diluting what we have”.
That said, he felt that global rankings helped to “put pressure on 바카라사이트 government to reform by exposing our problems and weaknesses”.
An aspiration to become “world-class” is one of 바카라사이트 driving factors behind 바카라사이트?National Education Policy, which aims to reform 바카라사이트 higher education system over 바카라사이트 next 20 years.?
Raj Kumar, vice-chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, said that, until recently, “Indian HEI had not asked 바카라사이트 hard questions”.
“It is crucial to benchmark Indian institutions against international ones,” he said.?
The?large number of Indian professors at top US and UK universities was a sign of why reform is needed. “We need to build an institutional ecosystem in which 바카라사이트 best minds of India are choosing to be in Indian academia,” he said.
He cited India’s infamous bureaucracy and lack of institutional autonomy as two of 바카라사이트 many hurdles 바카라사이트 country will face in implementing 바카라사이트 NEP.
“It’s not going to be easy,” he said. “There will be a lot of pushback internally. But 바카라사이트 last thing we want is change in name only.”
