The most important problem is the poor quality of education and curriculum
set forth. Final year engineering students are studying HTML and believe me
ive seen people by hearting the tags, and scratch their heads when doing a
practical exercise in HTML. Its that bad. To add to this, the quality of
faculties, people who have just completed thieir PG's which they obviously
completed immediately after their UG is taken as a lecturer. Without any
real world knowledge what good are they to the students they teach.
If you compare the faculties with that of foreign universities, all the
faculties would have done something significant in their field of expertise
but right here, you can never expect that. A good faculty amounts to half
the knowledge what the student gains in college and if they themselves have
no real world exposure how will they be able to transfer the knowledge.
I am not sure about other parts but im from tamilnadu, and there are about
400 engineering colleges under anna university and i can tell you the above
mentioned is the case with all the colleges expect the top 30 or so.
License are being sold like cup cakes without any inspection for standards.
The Curriculum is 10 years behind, how will the quality of engineers who
pass out would be.
Some of the corrective actions could be
1.Updating the curriculum atleast once in two years (@ tech is growing this
might have to come down to twice a year)
2.Issuing licenses to colleges which meets the standards
3.Setting proper standards first for each and every discipline
4.frequent inspections to the college to check they maintain the standards
set forth
5.setting criteria for lecturers
