first granting status and than putting them on firing line (for more money i suppose )students are the losers. however one thing is certain the poor skills of students passing out of these institutes , and the polticians and univ are equally responsible for this .it is like a time bomb which will explode when there will not be any jobs for them .
It is unfortunate that government had started a system of granting "Deemed To Be University" status to certain educational Institutions( considered a laudable direction in HE ) but began to condemn its own action without putting in much corrective efforts. Awakened public should ask Ministry/Government for this step which smacks of betrayal to our studentsNation. Having given status of University to certain Institutions, it is moral duty of the Government to monitor and bring up standards to world level by providing support as needed from evaluation report to improve education. Discreding its own action is ridiculous direction of action. Perhaps, improvement is the solution. In this case, the same Government has granted and the same government is trying to malign its own education. Therefore, Canadian Academics or for that matter any other country is bound to derive its fancy conclusion. The truth is that even central/state funded Universities in India suffer adequately for lack of expert/qualified Faculties and adequate infrastructure. Let Govt dare withdraw status or close down these Universities. In the present context, Supreme Court has sensed this rot and has saved the embarrassment of the country/people by preventing, for the time being, Govt's action which looks arbitrary, uncalled for and unjustified. Let Judiciary decide the matter on merit and, hopefully, save the country from being judged in poor light or face ridicule from international community.Fate of students?
Private funding or partnership will be very good and bring good results in long term. In fact truth in India; only private funding boosted Engineering education in the past 100 years. For example, look at IISc; who had funded?. It is private and due course of time it will be go out of their hand (as baby goes from mothers hand to teachers hand). If TATA (for me he is GOD) would not have funded HUGE money for IISc, think about Research and Development status in India. Even today, Indian Govt did fund another institute like IISc for scale up process. Still we have ONLY one IISc. In another case, let us look at MIT. Mr Rajam(another god for me) who had given his life to Engineering Education in India. His dream was to create work force for India and get away with UK konwledge workers in India. I think, Rajam sir put his life time earning in to Madras Institute of Technology (produced huge work force for India and also one Kalam sir for India). Even today, Govt of India, yet to make parallel institute like MIT with Govt funding. Let us not ridicule all these private funding in Education system in India. If we don’t have these colleges, where middle and lower middle class people go for learning?. Does govt has parallel committed funding for all these educational institutions?. I think, our Honorable HRD minister advised by ill-logical people who does not know contributions from TATA, RAJAM etc. Also these people appear to be having short sighted vision towards future.
These steps by the HRD ministry won't help. Look at the overall scenario. None of the Indian universities come within the first 500 in the world and will never come in the next 500 years. These are just gimmicks. Concrete steps must be taken to improve the overall infrastructure not only for teaching purposes but for research purposes as well. The teachers must also be evaluated by the students for their performances.

Most of these 'deemed' universities thrive because of the mindset of our people. Every one wants to make his/her son/daughter an Engineer or doctor or MBA even if he/she is not up to the mark.These people don't mind the expenses to get a 'degree'. When opportunities such as this arise there will be unscrupulous people (especially with political connection) to open new colleges and later universities. The present move to curtail all these fake universities is a good move and beneficial for the genuine students in the long run.
