Engineering Colleges...........
India is a vast country with a huge student population. And almost everyone today dream of becoming an engineer. So our country definitely needs a lot of engineering colleges to support such a huge mass.
But the qustion is whether quanity alone can satisfy the basic need of a society? Over the past years numerous private engineering colleges have come up just for the purpose of sheer business. They lack good infrastructure, faculty etc. Today, for example in WBJEE, the entry level criteria is relaxed to a great extent just for the purpose of filling up of seats.(In WBJEE this time a 3rd phase counselling has been arranged for students having rank above 60000, to fill up the vacant seats). Little importance is also given to quality of education. Hence the result is evident, production of students with degrees but no utilisable knowledge. Even the examination system lacks transparency. If you have good relation with the faculty you will be getting good marks irrespective of your performance. Next comes the problem of Infrastructure The laboratories in various colleges are not well equiped with necessary instruments. Due to lack of machineries, a large group has to share a single machine and as a result some becomes expert others remain mere spectator.
Shortage of faculty members in the engineering domain is a serious issue in India. Dearth of good faculty can be seen in various colleges across the country. For this reason often a teacher has to take various subjects which is not his forte. The private colleges, in order to fill up the posts, they recruit under qualified teachers. The result is poor impartation of knowledge. India being a multilingual country, linguistic problem is a major problem that is being faced by the faculty members.
Thus to conclude, it is definitely the fact that we need a good number of colleges to satisfy the ever increasing population but side by side the quality must also be ensured. At last, the future of the country lies in our hand and our future in the hand of the colleges.
