Preface
Dun & Bradstreet India (D&B India) is pleased to present the inaugural edition of ‘Universities of India 2008’ in association with Mindlogicx Infotech Limited. This is an initiative on D&B India’s part to create a platform for bringing together various players actively involved in the education sector. The publication is a repository of information on Indian universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of United Grants Commission (UGC) and/or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI; with brief profiles and key highlights covering Central Universities, state Universities, Deemed Universities, Private Universities, Institutes of National Importance and Open Universities. India, with its billion plus population and one third of it belonging to the age group of 6-24 years, has been showing gradual progress over the decades in various areas of the education sector. Growth of literacy rate from 18.3% in 1951 to above 65% in current times and total number of non literates decreasing from 329 million to 304 million for the first time in this decade is a testimonial to the academic progress of the country. As per MHRD and UGC statistics, the educational system has grown from just 20 universities and 500 colleges at the time of independence to over 400 universities and 20,677 colleges in present times. At the start of the academic year 2007-08, the total number of students enrolled for higher education stood at 11.6 million with 12.94% in university departments and 87.06% in affiliated colleges. Women enrolment has shown a phenomenal growth from less than 10% during independence to around 40%. The country’s higher education system is slowly changing from its unidirectional methods of theoretical knowledge to practical techniques for producing professionals with better quality education. Universities and institutes of higher education are adopting innovative measures in traditional programmes and promoting research-based practices to meet the requirements of skilled workers in the industry. Factors such as e-learning, distance education, public private partnerships, entry of private equity players, international collaborations and exchange programmes are changing the dynamics of higher education in India. With India now regarded as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, higher education is acknowledged as the gateway for transforming it into a developed country. The government envisages bringing reforms in the higher education sector through its eleventh Five Year Plan (2007 – 2012), popularly known as the knowledge investment plan. As part of this plan, the government plans to ramp up capacity in higher education with the establishment of 8 new IITs, 7 new IIMs, 16 Central Universities, 20 Indian Institutes of Information Technology, and new IIseRs and polytechnic institutes. The eleventh Five Year Plan plans to achieve a gross enrolment ratio of at least 15% by the end of the plan period. ‘Universities of India 2008’ reflects D&B India’s support and confidence in the country’s higher education for creation of high skilled human capital in the near future. I hope you will enjoy reading ‘Universities of India 2008’ and look forward to receiving your suggestions. Dr Manoj Vaish President & CeO - India Dun & Bradstreet

Foreword
This book is a ready reference tool about Universities of India as they stand in year 2008 for students, employers, academicians and anyone who would like to know more about a particular university. ‘Universities of India 2008’ was conceived jointly by Mindlogicx Infotech Limited, the R&D based technology development company for knowledge management services and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), the world’s leading provider of business-to-business credit, marketing, and purchasing information, as there was no comprehensive, up to date information about Universities and their programs readily available both in hard copy as well as online. Information was available in bits and pieces and one has to search or research multiple places to get the information they were looking for. As a result, both Mindlogicx Infotech Ltd in association with D&B have resolved to launch a single source repository of Indian universities by profiling vital statistics that can be used as a readyreference-tool for academic and non-academic purpose. ‘Universities of India 2008’ is the culmination of more than a year of dedicated effort of compiling and profiling the Universities across India. The publication will provide insight on the educational scenario and will profile the Universities of India under UGC and Autonomous Bodies. The publication lists the following parameters: • Brief Profile of the University • Snapshot of Courses and degrees offered • Colleges under each University • Key Facts about students, faculty etc. • Contact Details This publication will assist the students, corporate and general public to know more about the Universities across India and will aid them to make informed decisions. The main objective of the publication is to show-case the knowledge base of Indian universities to the world and more specifically to the industry partners. The publication will be made available to all universities in India, leading educational institutions, industrial houses, and in also in universities in select countries abroad. This publication will also enable corporate to know the underlining strengths of the universities to enable them plan for their campus level placement initiatives. The online version of this publication will also be made available for Universities and corporate to connect with each other for purposeful exploration of industry-academic collaboration. I hope the publication and the website www.universitiesofindia.org will enable the academia to connect their students to the industry in order to empower them to become “employable” or “ Job Ready” I am sure we have made the right beginning and hope to continue the good work going with your support. If there is anything that we can do to serve you better, please feel free to contact us. We will be glad to be of any further assistance to you. suresh elangovan CeO & Managing Director Mindlogicx Infotech Limited

executive summary
The role of higher education has grown gradually in the past decade and is now considered a vital component of economic development. As a mark of recognition of the role played by the institutes of higher learning, Dun and Bradstreet India (D&B India) has launched ‘Universities of India 2008’ to document the achievements of prominent universities across the country. A total of 165 universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of the United Grants Commission (UGC) and/or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI have been covered in the publication. These comprise of 40% state Universities, 28% Deemed Universities, 18% Institutes of National Importance, 9% Central Universities, 3% Private Universities and 2% Open Universities. Of all the respondent Universities, around one third of the total that provided sufficient information was chosen for analysis. D&B India also conducted a talent study based on a survey of 125 Bse listed companies in which senior management from the human resource department voiced their opinions about the education system and the employment situation in India. some key findings of the analysis and talent study include• The total number of enrolled students in the surveyed Universities grew by 81% for the academic sessions of 2006-07 and 2007-08. However the study also showed that faculty recruitment has not been able to keep pace with the growing number of students. The pupil to teacher ratio changed from 1:15 to 1:22 and lags behind in comparison with some of the developed economies such as the US and UK. • Interestingly, among the Universities surveyed, quality of education and retention of faculty emerged as key concerns – thus moving beyond the traditional concern of lack of funds. • Among the Universities surveyed, the number of students with work experience grew by 53% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous year indicating that higher education as a medium of updating skills and knowledge is gaining traction among professionals. • Over the years, governments have been promoting women’s education. These measures to promote women’s education seem to have culminated in positive results. Our study shows that women enrolment accounted for nearly one fourth of the total enrolment and increased by around 100% in the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous session. • Increasing use of Information Technology has added a new dimension to the method of imparting education in India. Our study shows that around 20% of the surveyed universities offer e-learning content and have the capacity to offer the full programme online. This percentage is expected to increase significantly over the next few years. • Our survey also revealed that student enrolment Ph. D programmes grew by 17% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous year. As the education sector gears itself for the next level and is poised for a complete makeover, D&B India will continue to support the growth efforts and development activities of the education sector through its future endeavours.

Methodology
‘Universities of India 2008’ is Dun and Bradstreet India’s (D&B India) recognition of the prominent institutes of higher education in the country. The publication covers universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of United Grants Commission (UGC) and/ or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI. The universities and university level institutions covered in the publication include Central Universities, state Universities, Deemed Universities, Private Universities, Open Universities and Institutes of National Importance. Open Universities, which have a different operating structure, have been classified as Central Open Universities and state Open Universities. In addition to direct responses, the latest available data has been collated from other authenticated sources such as the MHRD, Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) reports. To invite nominations from various institutions, questionnaires were sent out to universities sourced from MHRD, UGC, AIU, NAAC and D&B’s internal database. Additionally, mass media channels such as advertisements in leading business news dailies were used to invite participation in the publication. every effort was made to reach out to all universities and ensure their response to the questionnaire. Universities that have not responded with critical information such as number of students and teaching staff have been excluded from the respective initial listing pages. However, they have been profiled in the publication. For the purpose of this publication, the total number of students and teachers provided for the academic session of 2007-08 has been considered. The total number of students includes those under university departments, constituent colleges and affiliated colleges. However, the total number of teachers considered is on an individual university level and excludes the number of teachers engaged in teaching at affiliated colleges. It includes full time, part time, contract, visiting and other types of faculty. The publication also lists universities alphabetically along with their nature of institution, number of students, number of teachers, regions and courses offered by them. D&B India is confident that ‘Universities of India 2008’ will provide a platform for academicians and policymakers to come together to discuss various aspects of the education sector. We would be pleased to receive your valuable feedback and suggestions.

Insights
Dun and Bradstreet India (D&B India) has collected primary information from universities through a survey to derive key highlights of India’s institutions of higher education. Out of the total respondent universities, more than one-third has provided detailed information that forms the keystone of this report. The post-liberalisation period seems to have bolstered the higher education sector as half of the universities that were surveyed were established after 1991. Furthermore, the University Grants Commission (UGC) recognised more than 75% of the sample universities only after CY2000. The universities were set up to create a qualitative, intelligent, and competitive human resource pool. But in the years that followed, the need was felt to add to the qualitative aspect of education system and to thereon provide a competitive edge over educational institutions. Consequently, the UGC of India established an autonomous body called the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) to accredit institutions of higher education in India. More than half of the universities that participated in the survey are NAAC-accredited, which again underlines increased emphasis on qualitative higher education. The educational institutions that took part in the survey comprised deemed universities (around 47%) and state universities (33%) in majority; the remaining 20% comprised central universities, private universities, and institutes of national importance. For the academic year 2007-08, the number of affiliated and constituent colleges and students collectively stood at 1,357 and 887,417, respectively. The survey findings revealed that in recent times, the focus of higher education has shifted from national education to global education, from one-time education meant for a few to lifelong education for all and from classroom-based training to distance learning. In fact, one-third of the universities in the sample showedk greater inclination towards distance learning. Other key findings of the survey were: • 50% of universities were established post-1990s • More than half of the universities revise their curriculum once in every 2-3 years • Collectively, the surveyed universities have published close to 90,000 research papers • 20% of the universities offer e-learning content in areas of science, engineering, cyber law, IPR etc and have the capability to offer the full programme online • State government grants and tuition fees are the most prominent sources of funding for these universities.
V
Growth in overall student enrolment but decline in MPhil enrolment The total number of students that were enrolled on an individual basis for the universities, that were surveyed, increased by an impressive 81% from 204,106 in 2006-07 to 370,102 in 200708. During the same period, the students enrolled in various undergraduate and post-graduate programmes grew by around 22% and students enrolled for PhD programmes grew by 17%; however, the number of students enrolled for MPhil programme decreased by 9%.
Student enrolment programme wise
D&B Research
Female enrollers on the rise For the academic year 2007-08, female students constituted nearly one-fourth of the total enrolments on an average. enrolment of female students nearly doubled during the academic years 2006-07 and 2007-08. Conscious efforts by different agencies and government bodies seem to have borne success in the area of promotion of women education as several social and economic factors have been acting as constraints for female education in India. Need to attract international students The National Knowledge Commission has suggested the transformation of India into a lucrative destination for foreign students to partially solve the education sector’s funding problems. Unfortunately, India still has to make substantial progress on this front. For the academic year 2007-08, international students accounted for a meagre 1.6% of the total enrolments and international student enrolments rose by a miniscule 2% over the past academic year. Number of students with work experience up 53% The number of new courses and programmes offered by universities has gone up to meet industry demand for employees with certain skill sets and talent; consequently, the number of

students with work experience increased by 53% from 1,439 in 2006-07 to 2,212 in 2007-08. The need to enhance career prospects is driving the interest in pursuing higher studies; however, the percentage of students having work experience, on an average, remained constant at around 17% during both academic years 2006-07 and 2007-08. Part-time faculty strength up by more than 90% during 2006-07 and 2007-08 Robust infrastructure and financial resources are the two pillars of higher education whereas skilled faculty forms the base of a globally-competitive academic foundation. There is an increasing need for suitable and competent teachers to ensure quality education. For the academic year 2007-08, total number of faculty at 17,175 was 28% more than the previous academic year. Of the total faculty, the number of teachers holding a PhD remained constant at 39% for both academic years; however, they showed a growth of 25% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous academic session. Female faculty members constituted 28% of the total faculty in academic year 2007-08; their number slipped by 1% over the previous academic year.
Category-wise position of faculty
D&B Research
Maintaining a rational teacher-student ratio also is an important prerequisite for imparting quality higher education. The teacher to pupil ratio for the surveyed universities in the sample in tertiary education stood at 1:15 in 2006-07 and was close to some of the matured economies such as the US and UK, which had ratios of 1:14 and 1:19 ratios, respectively, in 2005. Unfortunately, the growth in student population has not been proportionate to the growth in student enrolment, faculty recruitment and retention. Another noteworthy deviation was the teacher to pupil ratio that went down to 1:22 in 2007-08 and highlighted the scarcity of faculties in India.
VII
Universities have also begun evaluating the performance of their faculty to gauge the latter’s efficacy. This step is important to ensure that there is continuous improvement in the quality of education. In fact, the study revealed that 82% of the universities surveyed conducted performance evaluation of their faculties through students. Traditional courses held good for career prospects Changes in the education system and world economy pose new challenges and make new demands from various educational institutions in the form of the courses that they offer. However, the survey revealed that traditional courses such as engineering and technology remain the favourite programmes in most universities. In the past decade, management has been following these two streams as the most favourite programmes in the surveyed institutions. On the flip side, it was disappointing to note that in an agrarian economy like India, only 2% of universities offered agricultural and allied programmes.
Courses offered (%), 2007-08
D&B Research
The number of post-graduate courses has gained momentum steadily over the last couple of years as corporations are increasingly recruiting a post-graduate workforce. Furthermore, outsourced research and analytical jobs are pushing up the need for further studies. More than one-third of the universities surveyed offer post-graduate programmes and around 25% of these universities offer research degrees in MPhil and PhD.
VIII
However, there is a need for more universities to adopt research-oriented programmes to boost the decline in number of scholars that India produces. In spite of fierce competition emerging in all areas, Indian scholars make a miniscule 2% contribution to world research papers that is not sufficient for India to gain prominence in the R&D space at the global level. India needs to have at least five times more PhD scholars than the current numbers to compete at the global level with developed as well as developing economies.

D&B Research
Retaining faculty members and maintaining quality of education emerge as major challenges In an indication that universities are now willing to move to a more independent way of functioning, government funding turned out to be the least important challenge for a majority of universities. Instead, it was revealed that universities chose to focus on resolving challenges pertaining to retention of faculty members and quality of education that they provided. Retention of skilled faculty members is considered an important parameter for improving quality of education. In the light of this statement one needs to know that attracting and retaining talented faculty is one of the recommendations proposed by the National Knowledge Commission in its 2007 ‘Report to the Nation’. These include improving remuneration and service conditions, improving remuneration and service conditions, providing sufficient sabbatical leaves and rationalising teaching load to devote adequate time for research as well providing incentives for publishing research results in peer reviewed publications etc. Furthermore, the recommendations stress on reforming universities through frequent curricula revisions, course credit introductions and infrastructure upgradation among others.
IX
Challenges and Concerns (1 – most important; 7 – least important)
D&B Research
Issues related to attendance emerged as a third most area of concern for the universities. The two prominent factors that emerged as major challenges for institutes of higher learning, namely quality of education and retaining good faculty members, can be cited as reasons for problems related to attendance. This can be especially true in case of medical and technical education where quality of education coupled with skilled faculty play an important role in grooming students to become professionals in their respective fields of study. shortage of skilled faculty as one of the major challenges is supported by D&B’s interview excerpts where it has been suggested that members should be exposed to various industrial developments in various levels of their academic career. Consequently, this will help to have a positive impact on addressing the shortage of skilled faculty and thus improving the quality of education in the near future.

Preface
Dun & Bradstreet India (D&B India) is pleased to present the inaugural edition of ‘Universities of India 2008’ in association with Mindlogicx Infotech Limited. This is an initiative on D&B India’s part to create a platform for bringing together various players actively involved in the education sector. The publication is a repository of information on Indian universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of United Grants Commission (UGC) and/or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI; with brief profiles and key highlights covering Central Universities, state Universities, Deemed Universities, Private Universities, Institutes of National Importance and Open Universities. India, with its billion plus population and one third of it belonging to the age group of 6-24 years, has been showing gradual progress over the decades in various areas of the education sector. Growth of literacy rate from 18.3% in 1951 to above 65% in current times and total number of non literates decreasing from 329 million to 304 million for the first time in this decade is a testimonial to the academic progress of the country. As per MHRD and UGC statistics, the educational system has grown from just 20 universities and 500 colleges at the time of independence to over 400 universities and 20,677 colleges in present times. At the start of the academic year 2007-08, the total number of students enrolled for higher education stood at 11.6 million with 12.94% in university departments and 87.06% in affiliated colleges. Women enrolment has shown a phenomenal growth from less than 10% during independence to around 40%. The country’s higher education system is slowly changing from its unidirectional methods of theoretical knowledge to practical techniques for producing professionals with better quality education. Universities and institutes of higher education are adopting innovative measures in traditional programmes and promoting research-based practices to meet the requirements of skilled workers in the industry. Factors such as e-learning, distance education, public private partnerships, entry of private equity players, international collaborations and exchange programmes are changing the dynamics of higher education in India. With India now regarded as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, higher education is acknowledged as the gateway for transforming it into a developed country. The government envisages bringing reforms in the higher education sector through its eleventh Five Year Plan (2007 – 2012), popularly known as the knowledge investment plan. As part of this plan, the government plans to ramp up capacity in higher education with the establishment of 8 new IITs, 7 new IIMs, 16 Central Universities, 20 Indian Institutes of Information Technology, and new IIseRs and polytechnic institutes. The eleventh Five Year Plan plans to achieve a gross enrolment ratio of at least 15% by the end of the plan period. ‘Universities of India 2008’ reflects D&B India’s support and confidence in the country’s higher education for creation of high skilled human capital in the near future. I hope you will enjoy reading ‘Universities of India 2008’ and look forward to receiving your suggestions. Dr Manoj Vaish President & CeO - India Dun & Bradstreet

Foreword
This book is a ready reference tool about Universities of India as they stand in year 2008 for students, employers, academicians and anyone who would like to know more about a particular university. ‘Universities of India 2008’ was conceived jointly by Mindlogicx Infotech Limited, the R&D based technology development company for knowledge management services and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), the world’s leading provider of business-to-business credit, marketing, and purchasing information, as there was no comprehensive, up to date information about Universities and their programs readily available both in hard copy as well as online. Information was available in bits and pieces and one has to search or research multiple places to get the information they were looking for. As a result, both Mindlogicx Infotech Ltd in association with D&B have resolved to launch a single source repository of Indian universities by profiling vital statistics that can be used as a readyreference-tool for academic and non-academic purpose. ‘Universities of India 2008’ is the culmination of more than a year of dedicated effort of compiling and profiling the Universities across India. The publication will provide insight on the educational scenario and will profile the Universities of India under UGC and Autonomous Bodies. The publication lists the following parameters: • Brief Profile of the University • Snapshot of Courses and degrees offered • Colleges under each University • Key Facts about students, faculty etc. • Contact Details This publication will assist the students, corporate and general public to know more about the Universities across India and will aid them to make informed decisions. The main objective of the publication is to show-case the knowledge base of Indian universities to the world and more specifically to the industry partners. The publication will be made available to all universities in India, leading educational institutions, industrial houses, and in also in universities in select countries abroad. This publication will also enable corporate to know the underlining strengths of the universities to enable them plan for their campus level placement initiatives. The online version of this publication will also be made available for Universities and corporate to connect with each other for purposeful exploration of industry-academic collaboration. I hope the publication and the website www.universitiesofindia.org will enable the academia to connect their students to the industry in order to empower them to become “employable” or “ Job Ready” I am sure we have made the right beginning and hope to continue the good work going with your support. If there is anything that we can do to serve you better, please feel free to contact us. We will be glad to be of any further assistance to you. suresh elangovan CeO & Managing Director Mindlogicx Infotech Limited

executive summary
The role of higher education has grown gradually in the past decade and is now considered a vital component of economic development. As a mark of recognition of the role played by the institutes of higher learning, Dun and Bradstreet India (D&B India) has launched ‘Universities of India 2008’ to document the achievements of prominent universities across the country. A total of 165 universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of the United Grants Commission (UGC) and/or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI have been covered in the publication. These comprise of 40% state Universities, 28% Deemed Universities, 18% Institutes of National Importance, 9% Central Universities, 3% Private Universities and 2% Open Universities. Of all the respondent Universities, around one third of the total that provided sufficient information was chosen for analysis. D&B India also conducted a talent study based on a survey of 125 Bse listed companies in which senior management from the human resource department voiced their opinions about the education system and the employment situation in India. some key findings of the analysis and talent study include• The total number of enrolled students in the surveyed Universities grew by 81% for the academic sessions of 2006-07 and 2007-08. However the study also showed that faculty recruitment has not been able to keep pace with the growing number of students. The pupil to teacher ratio changed from 1:15 to 1:22 and lags behind in comparison with some of the developed economies such as the US and UK. • Interestingly, among the Universities surveyed, quality of education and retention of faculty emerged as key concerns – thus moving beyond the traditional concern of lack of funds. • Among the Universities surveyed, the number of students with work experience grew by 53% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous year indicating that higher education as a medium of updating skills and knowledge is gaining traction among professionals. • Over the years, governments have been promoting women’s education. These measures to promote women’s education seem to have culminated in positive results. Our study shows that women enrolment accounted for nearly one fourth of the total enrolment and increased by around 100% in the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous session. • Increasing use of Information Technology has added a new dimension to the method of imparting education in India. Our study shows that around 20% of the surveyed universities offer e-learning content and have the capacity to offer the full programme online. This percentage is expected to increase significantly over the next few years. • Our survey also revealed that student enrolment Ph. D programmes grew by 17% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous year. As the education sector gears itself for the next level and is poised for a complete makeover, D&B India will continue to support the growth efforts and development activities of the education sector through its future endeavours.

Methodology
‘Universities of India 2008’ is Dun and Bradstreet India’s (D&B India) recognition of the prominent institutes of higher education in the country. The publication covers universities and university level institutions that fall under the purview of United Grants Commission (UGC) and/ or governed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), GoI. The universities and university level institutions covered in the publication include Central Universities, state Universities, Deemed Universities, Private Universities, Open Universities and Institutes of National Importance. Open Universities, which have a different operating structure, have been classified as Central Open Universities and state Open Universities. In addition to direct responses, the latest available data has been collated from other authenticated sources such as the MHRD, Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) reports. To invite nominations from various institutions, questionnaires were sent out to universities sourced from MHRD, UGC, AIU, NAAC and D&B’s internal database. Additionally, mass media channels such as advertisements in leading business news dailies were used to invite participation in the publication. every effort was made to reach out to all universities and ensure their response to the questionnaire. Universities that have not responded with critical information such as number of students and teaching staff have been excluded from the respective initial listing pages. However, they have been profiled in the publication. For the purpose of this publication, the total number of students and teachers provided for the academic session of 2007-08 has been considered. The total number of students includes those under university departments, constituent colleges and affiliated colleges. However, the total number of teachers considered is on an individual university level and excludes the number of teachers engaged in teaching at affiliated colleges. It includes full time, part time, contract, visiting and other types of faculty. The publication also lists universities alphabetically along with their nature of institution, number of students, number of teachers, regions and courses offered by them. D&B India is confident that ‘Universities of India 2008’ will provide a platform for academicians and policymakers to come together to discuss various aspects of the education sector. We would be pleased to receive your valuable feedback and suggestions.

Insights
Dun and Bradstreet India (D&B India) has collected primary information from universities through a survey to derive key highlights of India’s institutions of higher education. Out of the total respondent universities, more than one-third has provided detailed information that forms the keystone of this report. The post-liberalisation period seems to have bolstered the higher education sector as half of the universities that were surveyed were established after 1991. Furthermore, the University Grants Commission (UGC) recognised more than 75% of the sample universities only after CY2000. The universities were set up to create a qualitative, intelligent, and competitive human resource pool. But in the years that followed, the need was felt to add to the qualitative aspect of education system and to thereon provide a competitive edge over educational institutions. Consequently, the UGC of India established an autonomous body called the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) to accredit institutions of higher education in India. More than half of the universities that participated in the survey are NAAC-accredited, which again underlines increased emphasis on qualitative higher education. The educational institutions that took part in the survey comprised deemed universities (around 47%) and state universities (33%) in majority; the remaining 20% comprised central universities, private universities, and institutes of national importance. For the academic year 2007-08, the number of affiliated and constituent colleges and students collectively stood at 1,357 and 887,417, respectively. The survey findings revealed that in recent times, the focus of higher education has shifted from national education to global education, from one-time education meant for a few to lifelong education for all and from classroom-based training to distance learning. In fact, one-third of the universities in the sample showedk greater inclination towards distance learning. Other key findings of the survey were: • 50% of universities were established post-1990s • More than half of the universities revise their curriculum once in every 2-3 years • Collectively, the surveyed universities have published close to 90,000 research papers • 20% of the universities offer e-learning content in areas of science, engineering, cyber law, IPR etc and have the capability to offer the full programme online • State government grants and tuition fees are the most prominent sources of funding for these universities.
V
Growth in overall student enrolment but decline in MPhil enrolment The total number of students that were enrolled on an individual basis for the universities, that were surveyed, increased by an impressive 81% from 204,106 in 2006-07 to 370,102 in 200708. During the same period, the students enrolled in various undergraduate and post-graduate programmes grew by around 22% and students enrolled for PhD programmes grew by 17%; however, the number of students enrolled for MPhil programme decreased by 9%.
Student enrolment programme wise
D&B Research
Female enrollers on the rise For the academic year 2007-08, female students constituted nearly one-fourth of the total enrolments on an average. enrolment of female students nearly doubled during the academic years 2006-07 and 2007-08. Conscious efforts by different agencies and government bodies seem to have borne success in the area of promotion of women education as several social and economic factors have been acting as constraints for female education in India. Need to attract international students The National Knowledge Commission has suggested the transformation of India into a lucrative destination for foreign students to partially solve the education sector’s funding problems. Unfortunately, India still has to make substantial progress on this front. For the academic year 2007-08, international students accounted for a meagre 1.6% of the total enrolments and international student enrolments rose by a miniscule 2% over the past academic year. Number of students with work experience up 53% The number of new courses and programmes offered by universities has gone up to meet industry demand for employees with certain skill sets and talent; consequently, the number of
VI
students with work experience increased by 53% from 1,439 in 2006-07 to 2,212 in 2007-08. The need to enhance career prospects is driving the interest in pursuing higher studies; however, the percentage of students having work experience, on an average, remained constant at around 17% during both academic years 2006-07 and 2007-08. Part-time faculty strength up by more than 90% during 2006-07 and 2007-08 Robust infrastructure and financial resources are the two pillars of higher education whereas skilled faculty forms the base of a globally-competitive academic foundation. There is an increasing need for suitable and competent teachers to ensure quality education. For the academic year 2007-08, total number of faculty at 17,175 was 28% more than the previous academic year. Of the total faculty, the number of teachers holding a PhD remained constant at 39% for both academic years; however, they showed a growth of 25% for the academic session of 2007-08 over the previous academic session. Female faculty members constituted 28% of the total faculty in academic year 2007-08; their number slipped by 1% over the previous academic year.
Category-wise position of faculty
D&B Research
Maintaining a rational teacher-student ratio also is an important prerequisite for imparting quality higher education. The teacher to pupil ratio for the surveyed universities in the sample in tertiary education stood at 1:15 in 2006-07 and was close to some of the matured economies such as the US and UK, which had ratios of 1:14 and 1:19 ratios, respectively, in 2005. Unfortunately, the growth in student population has not been proportionate to the growth in student enrolment, faculty recruitment and retention. Another noteworthy deviation was the teacher to pupil ratio that went down to 1:22 in 2007-08 and highlighted the scarcity of faculties in India.
VII
Universities have also begun evaluating the performance of their faculty to gauge the latter’s efficacy. This step is important to ensure that there is continuous improvement in the quality of education. In fact, the study revealed that 82% of the universities surveyed conducted performance evaluation of their faculties through students. Traditional courses held good for career prospects Changes in the education system and world economy pose new challenges and make new demands from various educational institutions in the form of the courses that they offer. However, the survey revealed that traditional courses such as engineering and technology remain the favourite programmes in most universities. In the past decade, management has been following these two streams as the most favourite programmes in the surveyed institutions. On the flip side, it was disappointing to note that in an agrarian economy like India, only 2% of universities offered agricultural and allied programmes.
Courses offered (%), 2007-08
D&B Research
The number of post-graduate courses has gained momentum steadily over the last couple of years as corporations are increasingly recruiting a post-graduate workforce. Furthermore, outsourced research and analytical jobs are pushing up the need for further studies. More than one-third of the universities surveyed offer post-graduate programmes and around 25% of these universities offer research degrees in MPhil and PhD.
VIII
However, there is a need for more universities to adopt research-oriented programmes to boost the decline in number of scholars that India produces. In spite of fierce competition emerging in all areas, Indian scholars make a miniscule 2% contribution to world research papers that is not sufficient for India to gain prominence in the R&D space at the global level. India needs to have at least five times more PhD scholars than the current numbers to compete at the global level with developed as well as developing economies.
Programmes offered (%), 2007-08
D&B Research
Retaining faculty members and maintaining quality of education emerge as major challenges In an indication that universities are now willing to move to a more independent way of functioning, government funding turned out to be the least important challenge for a majority of universities. Instead, it was revealed that universities chose to focus on resolving challenges pertaining to retention of faculty members and quality of education that they provided. Retention of skilled faculty members is considered an important parameter for improving quality of education. In the light of this statement one needs to know that attracting and retaining talented faculty is one of the recommendations proposed by the National Knowledge Commission in its 2007 ‘Report to the Nation’. These include improving remuneration and service conditions, improving remuneration and service conditions, providing sufficient sabbatical leaves and rationalising teaching load to devote adequate time for research as well providing incentives for publishing research results in peer reviewed publications etc. Furthermore, the recommendations stress on reforming universities through frequent curricula revisions, course credit introductions and infrastructure upgradation among others.
IX
Challenges and Concerns (1 – most important; 7 – least important)
D&B Research
Issues related to attendance emerged as a third most area of concern for the universities. The two prominent factors that emerged as major challenges for institutes of higher learning, namely quality of education and retaining good faculty members, can be cited as reasons for problems related to attendance. This can be especially true in case of medical and technical education where quality of education coupled with skilled faculty play an important role in grooming students to become professionals in their respective fields of study. shortage of skilled faculty as one of the major challenges is supported by D&B’s interview excerpts where it has been suggested that members should be exposed to various industrial developments in various levels of their academic career. Consequently, this will help to have a positive impact on addressing the shortage of skilled faculty and thus improving the quality of education in the near future.
