Higher Education in India has been suffering from various quality deficits. Despite some of the major skill development initiatives by the Government of India, situation has been more or less the same without significant improvement. Quality of teaching and learning in a majority of non-elite universities and colleges are lagging far behind. Besides, seamless mobility of vocational stream to Higher Education still remains a huge challenge. India’s 13,000 Industrial Training Institutes (ITI), which could have been otherwise leveraged for the purpose, but with obsolete training and skilling processes, have witnessed a declining trend in enrollment over a decade and are running into huge losses. While attempts by the Government have been made to revamp these hubs, signs of up-gradation are yet to be seen.
