Loopholes in Higher Education

Higher education plays an important role in the development of any country. Our country has a well developed educational set up in terms of range of programs but it lacks in terms of quality standards. There is wide gap between what is actually expected and what the reality is. The reasons for the current situation are manifold. First of all is the non-existence of uniformity in curriculum and also a common examination system. Secondly, the curriculum largely focuses on the theoretical aspects of a subject instead of equipping the students with sound practical knowledge. There is also a lack of required funds to create and maintain the infrastructure required to impart quality education. Due to the market forces taking away most of the talented graduates every year, there is an increasing gap between the demand and supply for quality teaching staff and research professionals etc. there is still a long way to go in attaining excellence in higher education and a number of loopholes still need to be plugged in.  In this study we are focusing on what are the loopholes present in higher education system in India.
