Structure contd… The universities are of unitary type with single or
even multiple campuses or of affiliating type. The concept of an affiliating university is unique
to South Asia where a university affiliates colleges. These colleges conduct teaching-learning under the academic supervision of the university to which they are affiliated. The colleges do not award their own degrees, but award the degree of the university to which they are affiliated.
Universities and Colleges- Government, Private aided and Private unaided. K.M.Joshi 5

Emergence of Private Institutions- Demand Resultant
By the 1980s, improvements in basic education and Indian society’s growing aspirations had resulted in a huge capacity gap in higher education.
The changing structure of the economy demanded new skills which the public institutions were not able to provide.
Growing fiscal deficit and reforms laid foundation for private higher education.
Most of the private institutions were colleges in the initial period, followed by deemed Universities and then Private Universities.
K.M.Joshi 24
Many of these institutions set up by various religious and linguistic minorities enjoy certain privileges under law.
Private institutions are usually established and operated under the provisions of charitable societies or trusts. There are genuine not for- profit private institutions, many even funded by the government (private aided institutions) or supported by charitable and religious trusts.
A large number of private institutions run self-financing programmes that meet all of their expenses from tuition revenue, reinvesting any surpluses in programmes and facilities.
In contrast to these not-for-profits, a significant number of private institutions are run as business enterprises, many among them owned by powerful families

Quality Issues
48% of universities and 69% of colleges have infrastructure deficiencies.
Poor academic standards: The system is plagued with outdated curricula and ill-equipped libraries
As of March 2011, only 161 universities and 4,371 colleges had been accredited by NAAC
K.M.Joshi 31
Access and Equity Indian society is highly stratified on the basis
of - Economic lines, Social Groupings, Urban-Rural divide and Gender
The GER for indigenous people is found to be 13.1 for males and 7.5 for females, and the aggregate GER of ST students it is 10.3. Disparities across tribal regions visible. States like Jharkhand have 5.1 %.
Scheduled Castes the second largest socially deprived group too has low access. K.M.Joshi 32
Access and Equity Other social backward groups too reveal low
GER. Gender disparity in access existing in majority
of the states. The disparity is more visible amongst the disadvantaged groups.
High drop out and low completion rates amongst these segment of population.
Access to higher education is constrained by poverty, lack of resources, high opportunity cost, inadequate infrastructure, and low emphasis on education. K.M.Joshi 33

Government Policies for Enhancing Access 22.5% quota/seats reserved for Schedule Caste
and Schedule Tribe students. An additional quota of 27% for other backward castes in federal educational institutions. It means 49.5% seats reserved for the
marginalized social groups. Effective caste based seats crosses 65 %. Many States of India already have reservation
above 50% since long.
K.M.Joshi 36
Government Policies for Enhancing Access Various study reveals that relatively better off
segment among the marginalized social group gain largely because of this quota. Admission and equality criteria gets distorted
on a larger pattern. No government capable of reducing the quota
because of political reasons. Other financial assistance schemes
insufficient. Is this an appropriate affirmative action?
K.M.Joshi 37
Accreditation & Assessment Scenario
NAAC has not been able to cover even 40 % of the institutions.
The accreditation of NAAC has focused on institutional accreditation rather than programme evaluation.
It looks difficult that just one agency like NAAC will be able to address the quality assurance issues in India.
Accreditation is voluntary but many State governments have made it mandatory for all institutions.
K.M.Joshi 38
The Story so far………
State government withdrawing from higher education – Funding and Sustainability
Quality assurance outcome not influential in selection of institutions and demand
Private institutions proliferation- Absence of Control and Regulation
Private higher education – Urban agglomeration and Disparity in Quality
State policies for enhancing the demand for deprived group not effective
Unemployment more in urbanized regions and those with high GER in higher education
State run institutions in deplorable state
K.M.Joshi 39
The story so far………
Private higher education has enhanced the access and participation.
Increase in the professional courses. A shift of students from traditional to professional programme.
Private providers less interested in running traditional courses.
Pure and natural science losing talented students. This will hamper the basic science research in future.
Except few majority of the providers function for profit motive.
Similarly the quality of programmes not of acceptable level.
