Some of the current drawbacks in India education system are: Non-availability of books reflective of the needs of Indian society. A plethora of books are based entirely on western fundamentals. Plagiarized and manipulated information, statistics and data. The race is for number of publications and not for qualityr esearch (or its industrial utility). Attaining proficiency in using software packages is termed research. Lack of drive to lead. Inferiority complex. Undermining research by viewing it through the prism of western literature surveys. Engineering education based on western technology and books. Challenging and application based problems and case studies based on resource person’s experience are seldom discussed. There’s practically no brain storming. Stereo-typed assessment procedures. Selection criteria for a resource person / faculty are far from realizing objectives. The systems in place as a matter of fact are promoting pseudo-intellectualism. “Quality” presently is on back-burner. Interference and recommendations be it from any quarter / corrupt practices (financial, moral, ethical) are also the reason for killing excellence in education and research. Selection criteria / recruitment rules for the selection of faculty are not uniformly applied. This system of selection hasn’t been able to deliver and needs to be revamped completely. Existing norms are also assisting the mediocre applicants to get through. Perks to faculty and staff are not performance linked. Most engineering graduates in Indian industries are like fish out of water. Owing to bad curriculum planning, higher educational institutions produce largely un-employable graduates.
