Global
Recognition
Indian universities and institutes of higher education
and research have made significant contribution in research and development
in the areas ranging from biotechnology to ocean engineering.
In traditional subjects like arts and humanities, pure
sciences, applied physics, chemistry, and mathematics, Indian universities
and institutes of higher studies have been playing a leading role.
The country has also been active in the development of
space technology, production and launching of indigenous satellites and
development of peaceful nuclear energy. Besides, India is also recognized
the world over for its information technology talent.
All these developments and initiatives have brought the
country to the forefront as a technologically advanced nation. In fact, a

English
Medium
Medium of instruction is a very crucial factor in
determining the quality of curriculum transaction and the level of
achievement.
Every Indian university has English as the medium of instruction and most
Indian universities consider a good knowledge of English as a pre-requisite
to pursuing academic studies.
For the Humanities, Social sciences and Commerce courses, the medium of
instruction is both English and regional languages but in case of
professional courses, science and technical subjects, English is
exclusively used for teaching. Postgraduate education is taught in English
in most of the educational institutes.
For international students weak in English, most colleges and universities
conduct special English language and communication courses.
India is the 3rd largest English speaking population in
the world and hence it is a place where foreign nationals feel at home.
When I came to India, I thought language
would be a problem. But, English is more like the norm in the campus. All
my classmates speak English as fluently as me. Anamul Haque,

5.Quality
Quality is the benchmark for development of
infrastructure, curriculum, human resources and research and the
establishment of centres of excellence, interdisciplinary and
inter-institutional centres.
The National Policy on Education was framed by the
Government of India in the early 1980s to ensure the formation of
standardized guidelines for the enforcement of quality in higher education.
It is mandatory for all the Indian Institutions to be
recognized by the appropriate National Level statutory bodies established
by the Government of India for compliance to quality standards.
Some of the Statutory bodies which are constituted for
recognition are:
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
University Grants Commission (UGC)
Medical Council of India (MCI)
Dental Council of India (DCI)
Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR)
In addition, quality of education is assured through
National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for technical education and National
Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for higher education.
Curriculum
The Indian education system promotes a 10+2+3 structure of curriculum. The
National standards of uniform curriculum are comparable to international
standards. To ensure uniformity of curriculum, the National Policy on
Education (1986) emphatically stressed on the importance of basic
parameters of equity and excellence. Well thought out courses of study,
detailed curricular outlines, identification of learning outcomes, variety
of instructional materials both audio and visual and improved evaluation
tools have been developed to supplement the delivery of the given
curricula.
Faculty
National Policy on Education - 1986 has stipulated the role of a teacher,
which includes instruction, curriculum development, instructional material
development, research and innovation and testing and consultancy services.
A lot of measures have been taken up by the Indian Government to ensure
that the teachers are trained aptly to perform their given role adequately.
As an initiative to bridge the gap between curriculum and syllabus
development and education delivery, the policy stipulates the involvement
of teachers in developing courseware.
Infrastructure
Optimum infrastructure in terms of research labs, equipments and lecture
theatres are very important for effective delivery. The universities and
colleges are given adequate grants every year to ensure that they are able
to maintain and upgrade their infrastructure. The policy advises on
certain minimum standards which every Institute should maintain.
Association with Industry
The educational philosophy that has come to prevail both in India and in
the developed world is that the interaction of institute with industry at
every level is very important. Keeping this in mind, the Indian Government
has taken measurable steps to promote the association of industries with
institutes.
In line with this AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) has
been set up Board Of Industry-Institute-Interaction (BOII)
The following initiatives have been introduced as a part of
Industry-Institute Interaction:
1. Industry-Institute Partnership Cell
2. Mobilization of Industrial Personnel
3. Seminars/Workshops
4. Sponsored PG Courses
5. INAE-AICTE Visiting professorship
6. Entrepreneurship and management development
Workshops and Seminars
To give a more practical perspective to the classroom training, Workshops
and seminars have been integrated with the curriculums of a number of
professional courses. These workshops ensure that the students get an
opportunity to demonstrate their skills practically, and get a hands-on
experience.
It's my dream to teach in my own country one
day and maintain these same standards.
