Technological Universities in the Indian Context

Corresponding to the population, India has matured enough to start more number of universities to govern professional institutions. Number of professional institutions started growing, and hence the Administrators and planners conceived the formation of Technical council to regulate the technical institutions in India. Where ever the government has entered to regulate, there one can visualize the corruption. It was during the British Rule that the universities started affiliating the colleges with the Universities. The affiliating character of a university continued even after the Britishers left India. When more number of institutions got affiliated to the University, the affairs become illogical in administration. This article deals with the state of affairs of technical education both at the University level and at the college level. On the one hand, there are positive points and on the other hand, there are many negative points leading to criminalization of professional education. India needs more professional institutions to offer technical education and hence supports the Technical Education council in giving approval for starting new institutions. The whole thing gets derailed when private partners get into the system. Though there are restrictions for starting the institution as a company, many private partners start the same by floating a Non-profitable Charitable trust. However, these trusts are sold and purchased thro ill-gotten wealth. It does not come under the eyes of the Tax authorities. Naturally these private partners play un-charitable role in promoting education. Quality suffers to a great extent. Hence we produce substandard engineers having no high Morales. This tendency is highly against the positive growth of the country. This article deals with the nuances of Technical Education and the status in comparison with international institutes/universities.
