National Institutes funded by Centre

India boast’s of national-level institutions covering almost every discipline such as health, management, science and technology, law, social science, education, linguistics, fine art, architecture, design, agriculture, food, pharma, space, nuclear and robotics.

Many of these institutions have achieved international recognition as centers of excellence in their respective fields and are sought after by students from all over the country and even overseas.

Due to demand from every state these have grown to nearly 140.

Challenges

• Large and complex

• Quality

• Industry requirement

• Research needs

• International mobility

Page 7: AIMS Institutes

Large & Complex

• Multiple regulatory agencies

• No Uniformity

• Rigidity

Page 8: AIMS Institutes

Quality of higher education

Firstly, quality means different things to different people.

Secondly, quality is relative to ‘processes’ or ‘outcomes’.

Quality of higher education can be viewed as a challenge from five different but integrative perspectives:

1. Faculty with knowledge and industry experience2. Relevance and recency of concepts being taught3. Use of latest pedagogy including ICT4. Value for Money 5. Transformative achievement

Page 9: AIMS Institutes

Industry requirements

• Fresh graduates, who join the industries, require six months to 2 years as gestation period to show their contribution.

• Many a time, they leave the organisation before they start showing results.

• Industry feels only 15% of their requirements are being filled and there is a 85% skill gap.

Page 10: AIMS Institutes

Research

• Academia in India was largely focused on teaching rather than on research.

• Only in the last two decades there has been a move towards creating an eco-system for motivating research.

• Most of the research that happens in India, unlike in the west is still largely funded by the Government.

International Mobility

Earnings through Global Mobility of Students in Higher Education is vast USA: $ 27 Billion UK : £ 8.5 Billion Ireland : € 900 Million Australia : A$ 19.1 Billion New Zealand : NZ $ 2.3 Billion NZ Canada: CN $ 5.5 Billion INDIA: ₹ 1320 Million (Approx. US $0.2 US $ Billion)

Students from India however contribute through outward mobility US$ 8 billion annually approximately.

Interventions

• Can focused centers of excellence be a way forward?

• At AIMS Institutes we have 9 focused centers to overcome some of the challenges and achieved a fair modicum of success.

Strategic Academic Alliances

Alliances can be made with similar international institutions fora) Student mobilityb) Faculty mobility,c) Institutional mobilityd) Program mobility

Such alliances will promote knowledge sharing, enrichment of quality in teaching, research and intellectual environment in our Universities/institutions that result in better knowledge production and dissemination.

Also, this will provide a conductive atmosphere for future co-operation with these institutions to set up joint venture academic alliances, joint degree programs etc.
