Top Science Institutes want market driven streams scrapped

In one my earlier blogs (27/06/09), I had suggested the following to be introduced:

01. Getting students industry-ready
02. Making education boards agile to change patterns, content and education modes to drive employability of students

Yesterday, three of the leading Science Institutes have suggested scrapping of market-driven streams in BSc. These specialized courses like any other graduation courses have their limitations, but were certainly a step towards increasing employability of students.

However, with the onus of the students’ success slowly moving to the institutes and the faculties, reality has struck. It is difficult for our institutes to provide growth of a student to meet the industry, hence, the best option for them is to scrap the course.

Yes, if you can’t dance, there is something wrong with the dance floor. Break it down!!!

How about, making the courses more laser focused? How about getting industry involvement in developing students and giving them a career? How about driving a real world learning that represents the industry of today and tomorrow? Shouldn’t we be looking for these solutions?

I think the need of the hour is scrapping the institutes rather than the courses. Introducing new-age, quasi government institutes that can give a real feel of the industry and give students a pathway to jobs.

And this is only training/education that am talking about!

To convert students’ passion into a livelihood, there are three aspects other than just training:
01. Real industry Introduction
02. Talent marketing
03. Preparing a platform to succeed

Instead of thinking of generating we are thinking of degenerating. And this is the state of education in India.

No wonder the top 3 Science Institutes want market driven streams scrapped!!!
