  3. HRD Minister says….. • This is a critical time for Higher Education in the country. • We have to set up 1000 more Universities in next 10 years to meet the requirement. • For mobility of graduates, accreditation of institutes is essential. • All stake holders should be involved in the development. • The framework should be developed for uniformity of quality while maintaining diversity & local needs. • There is a need to develop Meta University where institutes will collaborate with each other & students have choice to select the subjects of their interest. KKWIEER/KNN

  4. 1.Corporate perspective on Accreditation • Mr. SatishPradhan (Chair person) (Chief, Group HR, Tata Sons) • Mr. Suresh Mhatre (Vice President, TCS Ltd.) • Mr. Anil Sachdev (Founder & CEO, SOIL, Gurgaon) • Dr. UmaGanesh (CEO, Global Talent Track) • Ms. Amrita Gangotra (Director (IT), BhartiAirtel Ltd.) KKWIEER/KNN

  5. Industry perspective • Opportunities are exploding in variety of sections but only 20-25% of engineers are employable. • Rethinking of admission process, duration of course, method of assessment and curriculum in needed to produce engineers with quality. • Our colleges are working as silos. Students are trained only on theory and technology focus is missing. • TCS has formed its own assessment process. The focus is on faculty, percentage of Ph.D. Staff, Faculty: Student ratio, Research facilities, library, labs and other infrastructure. • Curriculum should be co-created with the help of thoughtful practitioners. • Companies will find solution to the problem of students not attending 8th semester classes after getting job offer in Campus interviews. KKWIEER/KNN

  6. 2.Washington Accord on UG Engineering Education • Dr.HuHanrahan (Chairperson) (Chair, Washington Accord) • Dr. David Holger (Past President of ABET) • Dr.Kai Sang Lock (Former President, The Institution of Engineers, Singapore) • Prof. Raman MenonUnnikrishnan (Dean, COE & Computer Sciience, California State University) KKWIEER/KNN

  7. Innovative approaches • The purpose of engineering education is to build knowledge, skills & attitude. • Accreditation helps in developing best practices for academic preparation of engineers. • The graduate attributes defined by ABET are useful for mobility. • Several initiatives recommended such as problem based learning, multi disciplinary team projects, student engagement /active learning. Co-curricular learning, Student Innovation Center, etc. • Involvement of course teachers in continuous quality improvement is essential KKWIEER/KNN

Sahasrabudhe (Chair person) (Director, DhirubhaiAmbani Institute Information & Communication Tech, Gujarat) • Prof. Ajay Khare (Director, School of Planning & Architecture, Bhopal) • Shri.Dhanjay Singh (Exec. Director, National HRD Network, Gurgaon) • Prof.V. LakshmiNarasimhan (Commissioner, ABET) KKWIEER/KNN

  11. Issues related to accreditation • Accreditation is seal of approval by stakeholders that the institute is meeting their expectations. • Industry experts are still looking for technical skills and academic records during campus interviews. • There is a danger that institute may do only the things required as per the NBA manual. • Accreditation is not ranking, it tells about your organization. • How to value the ‘Industrial Experience’ in Accreditation process? • Accreditation may become mandatory in near future but the main challenge is transparency in the process. KKWIEER/KNN

  12. 5.Quality assurance-International experience • Prof. O.N. Mohanty (Chair person) (Director, Technology & Academic initiative, Odisha) • Dr. YavuzErcil (Secretary General, MUDEK, Turkey) • Prof. William Byrnes (Associate Dean, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, USA) • Mr. Ajay Batra (Head, AzimPremji Institute for Assessment & Accreditation) KKWIEER/KNN

  13. Indian knowledge • India has long tradition of knowledge creation but it was interrupted due to foreign invasion. • Knowledge is lost due to lack of documentation. • TQM principles should be applied to teaching learning process. • Online education can be used to cater the needs of our country in next 20-30 years. • For i-pad generation, information processing is totally different. KKWIEER/KNN

  14. 6. Innovation & trends in Accreditation practices • Dr. Pritam Singh (Chair person) (Director General, International Management Institute, Delhi) • Dr. Stephen Parker (Director, Balboa City School of International Studies, USA) • Dr. Kumar Aniket (Lecturer in Economics, University of Cambridge, UK) • Ms. SahronBamford (CEO, AMBA, UK) KKWIEER/KNN

  15. Trends in accreditation • Indian students are extremely poor in handling complexity of the situation. • Association of MBA in UK has made it mandatory for students to have 3 yrs. professional experience before joining the course. • All stake holders involved in deciding parameters • Criteria reviewed after every five years • Utilizing the other strengths of University • Accreditation of distance & blended learning courses KKWIEER/KNN

  16. 7. Policy issues in Higher Education for achieving competitiveness • H.E ShekarDutt (Chair person) (Governor of Chhattisgarh) • Prof.VedPrakash (Chairman, UGC) • Prof. M.Aslam (VC, IGNOU, New Delhi) • Mrs. SarojiniThakur (Chairperson, HP Private Educational Institutions) KKWIEER/KNN

  17. Role of Universities • There is huge increase in number of Universities and college in India after independence. • The issues such as regional imbalance, gender imbalance, accessibility and equality are to be addressed. • Distance education can cover wide population but the process of accreditation for such courses is to be defined. • Even the smaller states like Himachal Pradesh have formed regulations for Private Partnership in Higher Education. • There is a need to define performance parameters for measuring quality of University.
