RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONSFOR THE ROOT

CAUSES

DESIGNING OF CURRICULUMALL STAKE HOLDERS(STUDENTS, POLICY MAKERS AND EMPLOYERS) TO BE TAKEN ON

BOARD FOR DESIGNING OF AN NEED BASED CURRICULUM.

MORE COLLABORATION /TIE UP WITH THE LEADING UNIVERSITIES OF THE WORLD.

CURRICULUM SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE i.e. STUDENT IS FREE TO DECIDE THEIR

SUBJECTS OF INTEREST.

MORE EMPHASIS SHOULD BE GIVEN ON COMPUTERISED ASSESSMENT ,WHERE EVER

POSSIBLE ,TO AVOID HUMAN BIASNESS.

BESIDES DEVELOPING CORE COMPETENCY,PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT ,PRACTICAL

SKILLS OF THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE GIVEN EMPHASIS.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES STRICT REGULATIONS TO CONTROL THE MUSHROOMING OF FAKE AND POOR

UNIVERSITIES/INSTITUTIONS.

BUDGETARY ALLOCATION OR SUBSIDY TO BE GIVEN FOR ENCOURAGEMNT OF R&D

AND INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES.

RISK / VENTURE CAPITAL TO BE CREATED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIVE

IDEAS.

FLEXIBILITY TO BE GIVEN FOR INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION.

STANDARDISATION OF ADMISSION PROCEDURE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

UNIFORM AND BETTER PAY STURCTURE TO ATTRACT GOOD AND EFFICIENT FACULTY.

ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTUREALL INFRASTRUCTURAL INPUTS SHOULD BE AS PER STANDARD NORMS.

PROPER MECHANISM TO BE INCORPORATED TO MONITOR THE OUTDATED LAB

EQUIPMENTS , NUMBER OF EQUIPMENTS AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR

IMPARTING QUALITY EDUCATION.

ADOPTING MODERN APPROACH OF TEACHING.

SELECTION PROCEDURE OF THE FACULTY SHOULD BE COMPHREHENSIVE TO

SELECT THE BEST ONE.

REGULAR TRAINING SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE FACULTY FOR KEEPING THEM

UPDATED.

INDUSTRY –UNIVERSITY LINKAGETODAY’S CLASSROOM TEACHING APPROACH ENHANCE ONLY THE ACADEMIC

SKILLS AND NOT THE SKILL REQIURED FOR INFIELD WORKING.

THE GAP BETWEEN PRACTICAL REQUIREMENT AND ACADEMIC INPUT CAN BE

REDUCED ONLY WHEN THE STUDENTS ARE PUT TO ACTUAL WORKING

CONDITIONS DURING THEIR STUDIES , THUS MAKING THEM MORE EMPLOYABLE.

INNOVATIVE IDEAS OR PRODUCTS CAN BE DEVELOPED WITH THE HELP OF

INDUSTRIES.

ECONOMICAL HEALTH GOOD ECONOMIC HEALTH OF ANY COUNTRY PROVIDE MORE EMPLOYMENT

OPPURTUNITIES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.

THIS WILL ALSO HELP TO INVEST MORE IN EDUCATION SECTOR.

BIG INDUSTRIAL HOUSES MAY ENTER INTO THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD.

CONCLUSION AND LESSON LEARNED

CAUSE-EFFECT DIAGRAM HELPS IN FOCUSSING ON THE CAUSES AND NOT ON

THE SYMPTOMS.

IT HELPS US TO CONSIDER ALL THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF A PROBLEM, RATHER

THAN JUST THE ONES WHICH ARE MOST OBIVIOUS. THUS, HELPING US

DEVELOP A COMPHRESENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEM.

IT HELPS IN THINKING IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY AND IDENTIFYING THE AREAS OF

IMPROVEMENT.
